A device for receiving plated memory wire for use in precision applications and cutting the wire into desired length, sorting out the wire lengths that are acceptable and storing the acceptable lengths into plastic tubes where they will be free from contamination, and will not be handled by humans. The machine utilizes a bandolier of storage tubes that sequentially pass through a wire cutting station so that acceptable wires are inserted into the tubes, and the rejects are kept out of the tubes. The machine is designed for placement into a closed loop, in line plated wire system so that the wire lengths are not touched even during the storage operation.
