Wire forming involves applying force to a length of wire to alter its shape. Raw stock feeds into wire forming machinery either from wire coils weighing anywhere from 5 to 5,000 pounds or as blank forms in a hopper. Forming equipment will then utilize a range of possible techniques such as swaging, bending, shearing, and piercing so that the wire will take on the desired profile. Encompassing a variety of configurations, dimensions, and textures, wire forms are two- or three-dimensional parts of metal wire or tube construction.
Marlin Steel Wire Products LLC is a custom wire form manufacturer designing and engineering products ranging from stainless steel baskets, material handling containers, and racks to swaged and pierced wire forms and S, C, and eye hooks. In business since 1968, our company has extensive experience creating wire form solutions for clients in several industries.
