CNC wire forming and welding
It was over 25 years ago that Whitelegg Machines of Crawley, UK, pioneered the
development of fully automatic CNC wire forming and welding machines. Today the
company still leads the way with innovative equipment which is used around the world.
The latest Whitelegg CFM 12mm wire forming machine is able to bend and weld wire
from 3mm to 12mm using the latest 2D technology and embodies accuracy, reliability
and precision.
Machine models range from the CFM 400, 600, 800 and 1000, depending on the
products being made; there is a 2D machine for anyone making flat components – from
rings for lampshades to display stands, shopping trolleys, wire baskets and shelves for
cookers and freezers.
Three roller wire feed wheels give extra grip and greater wire control making
bend generation easier and resulting in flatter, more consistent parts throughout the
production run.
The touch screen icon based software and simple functionality allows for ease of use by
the operator. A USB port on the command console allows for any software updates and
programs to be uploaded. The machine has the latest automatic butt welding feature,
making the production process faster and more cost effective. A parallel burr-free
cut reduces the need for secondary operations and improves butt weld strength and
clean finish.
The welding electrodes are adjustable, giving a big advantage when welding a large
variety of products. Set up times and tooling changes are quick and easy to implement.
To complement the CFM range, Whitelegg offers the dedicated CFR ring former and
welder. Incorporating all the advanced attributes of the CFM, the three machines in the
range cover wire diameters of 2-8mm, with finished ring diameters between 50 and
1,000mm.
