Wire Form Springs
Wireforms are intricate and versatile shapes crafted from metallic wire. While springs constitute a type of wireform, it’s crucial to recognize that not all wireforms are springs. They differ in form, function, and may vastly vary in application.
We manufacture wire form springs fully on automatic CNC machines.
Wireforms Beyond Springs
Wireforms encompass a broader category:
• Retainers: Wireforms often serve as clips, pins, or retainers.
• Simple Beams: Some wireforms act as simple beams, offering return force when bent or twisted.
Manufacturing Process
• Winding: Metal wire is wound around a coil, imbuing it with mechanical strength.
• Heat Treatment: This step ensures the required performance, durability, and stress relief for the final application.
Applications
• Wireforms silently contribute to various industries:
• Automotive: Hood latches, seat mechanisms.
• Aerospace: Precision components.
• Electronics: Connectors, switches.
• Consumer Goods: Trampolines, toys.
• Industrial Machinery: Conveyor systems, stackable chair backs.
Wireforms are the unsung heroes small yet essential components that guarantee smooth operations in our daily lives and industrial processes. At Accutech springs, we specialize in designing reliable and customized wireforms.
