Jiri Praus has created an Arduino-powered CNC machine that can precisely bend brass wire, and even features a set of rollers to help straighten the wire before any precision bends are made. This ...

We’ve seen a fair number of automated wire cutting builds before, and with good reason: cutting lots of wires by hand is repetitive and carries the risk of injury. What’s common to all these automated ...

A lot has been accomplished in recent years to make wire EDM more efficient and reliable, but little has been done to make it faster. A big part of that limitation is just physics. A standard 0.010” ...

Electrical discharge machining (EDM) is a machining process that discharges electric sparks from two electrodes on a metal sheet to detach the desired shape. Also called spark machining, it employs ...

Industrial processes harbor a large number of manual tasks. The potential to reduce time-consuming activities can bring relief and time-savings in such tasks as conductor preparation. Phoenix Contact, ...

Appliance wiring material, banned in 2007, is now back in service owing to the realities of today’s global machine marketplace. But, its use comes with restrictions. • NFPA-79 outlines electrical ...

Insulation type MTW machine tool wire is now available in 22-gauge from Automation Direct. Existing MTW wire sizes are 20 AWG to 10 AWG. The 22 AWG wire offers an 8% smaller diameter with a 3 amp ...

YouTube channel How To Mechatronics has created a great tutorial with full instructions on how to create your very own Arduino powered 3D wire bending machine. Created using 3D printer parts, a ...
