When manufacturing wire forms for demanding industries like healthcare and aerospace, precision is critical. Accurate parts help prevent everything from improper component fit and subpar equipment performance to serious safety risks for product users.
At Marlin Steel Wire Products LLC, we're committed to quality and continuous improvement, and our team is always looking for new ways to help customers thrive. As part of our ongoing investments in new equipment and technology, we've recently purchased an IP Automation i10-S² Dual Turret 3D CNC Wire Bender. This state-of-the-art system quickly and accurately bends wire into intricate forms with extremely tight tolerances, revolutionizing our wire forming operations.
Introducing the i10-S² CNC Wire Bender: A New Era of Precision
The i10-S² CNC Wire Bender sets the standard for modern wire bending and forming technology. Part of IP Automation's i-S2 "Squared" equipment series, the highly versatile, American-made machine uses dual nose/mandrel tool heads. This innovative feature facilitates complex, precision off-plane bending at unprecedented speeds — all without compromising product quality.
Able to produce 3mm to 10mm wire forms, this CNC wire bending machine also features the following:
- 8- to 9-axis capabilities as part of an all-electric machine
- As many as 16 distinct forming radii
- Servo-controlled tool positioning
- Turret- and nose-bending capabilities
- Replaceable bending pins and regrindable cutters for lower tooling costs
- Software integration for 3D simulations through Intellibend
Precision is at the heart of how Marlin Steel produces wire forms, and the i10-S² CNC Wire Bender enables us to take on more ambitious projects than ever before.
