Apparatus for shaping wire into wire products

摘要

In order to control, in a wire shaping apparatus with a rotatable wire intake device (10), friction of the wire at the bore wall of a wire holder (52) which finally leads the wire towards the shaping station, and in order to reduce it to zero if necessary, it is suggested to provide said apparatus, the wire holder (52) of which can be rotated programmably controlled about the wire axis, with a remote controllable wire brake device (114) which acts radially upon the wire being fed along, and the wire brake device is programmably controlled.
