Abstract
A device for imparting a torsional force onto a wire has a base and a support mounted so as to be rotatable with respect to the base around an axis of rotation. The axis of rotation coincides with a wire path extending through the base and the support. Further, a wire clutching device is mounted on the support and adapted to engage at a wire guided along the wire path, and a rotation mechanism is provided which is adapted for rotating the support with respect to the base.

A device for imparting a torsional force onto a wire, having a base, a support mounted so as to be rotatable with respect to the base around an axis of rotation, the axis of rotation coinciding with a wire path extending through the base and the support, a wire clutching device mounted on the support and adapted to engage at a wire guided along the wire path, and a rotation mechanism which is adapted for rotating the support with respect to the base.
A system with a container in which an amount of wire is contained in the form of a coil consisting of a plurality of loops of wire, a device for imparting a torsional force onto a wire, the device being mounted above the wire, the device having a base, a support mounted so as to be rotatable with respect to the base around an axis of rotation, the axis of rotation coinciding with a wire path extending through the base and the support, a pair of rolls which are mounted on the support, the rolls being arranged on opposite sides of the wire path, at least one of the rolls having a wire reception groove, and a rotation mechanism which is adapted for rotating the support with respect to the base, the system further comprising at least one wire feeder which is arranged downstream of the device for imparting a torsional force onto the wire.
