First, let’s take a look at how it is made on a CNC bending machine. The video is quite straightforward so you can easily understand the process.
Part specification:
Material | C70 (carbon steel) |
Wire diameter | 3.0 mm |
Dimension (relaxed) | length 80 * width 60 mm |
Surface coating | None |
heat treatment | 230℃, 30 minutes |
As you may notice, the 2 ends are bent to custom design, that is why they need to be bent piece by piece on a CNC machine.
