Re: [Emc-users] OT: Wire feeder on screw forging machine
Oftentimes I have seen just a couple of grooved pinch rolls used - aka like a mig welder wire feeder. It really depends on how much drive force you need. If you pinch the wire too hard it will deform and extend. So for more drive force, use more drive rollers. You can use gears to drive the rollers, but I think chains are sometimes used as well. There are a lot of wire processing facilities around me and a lot of bolt plants. Dave On 7/2/2018 1:57 PM, Ralph Stirling wrote: Check out "wire straightening machines" on youtube.

Re: [Emc-users] OT: Wire feeder on screw forging machine
There are quite a few videos on youTube showing simple wire feed mechanisms using an Arduino as a controller. Searching for 'wire cutter Arduino' gives a list. You may get some good ideas there, for simple feeding mechanisms. Whether you need an Arduino is another matter, but the mechanics are all there.
