The AccuForm Modular line consists of components that are interchangeable within the same size. The major components that comprise the AccuForm Modular line are as follows:
1) Turntable
2) Straightener
3) Feeder
4) 2 Dimensional Bender
5) Optional accessories such as punching, chamfering, threading, drilling, piercing, marking, and many others
Each AccuForm Modular CNC wire bending machine can currently have up to 32 motion axes, depending on the machine configuration. These machines take wire directly from coil, straighten it, bend it, and cut it to create wire products designed with the use of AIM’s exclusive software package. SmartEditor® provides flexibility and simplicity in setup. Programming is quick and easy. All you need is to enter the lengths and angles of your product, view the design, edit if necessary, and begin production!
Models offered with a turret option (-T) add one servo axis, for automatic and programmable bending tool-changer along with a second bending pin.
AIM uses the world’s preeminent servo system. Depending on machine size, feeding speeds may exceed 120 meters per minute (394 feet/minute) and bending speeds may exceed 1100 degrees per second. The smallest resolution of the wire feeder is 273 pulses per millimeter (6.93 pulses per thousandth of an inch) and the resolution of the bender is 1450 pulses per degree. The published accuracy of the servo controllers that we use is ±1 pulse, the length accuracy is ±0.1 millimeter (±0.004″) and the angle accuracy is ±0.05 degrees. Accuracy and repeatability of AIM machines are exceptional, so the wireforms produced will only be limited by the quality and consistency of the wire supplied.
