Abstract
A combined machine for working a wire rod in order to obtain metal products with at least a curved shape is disclosed that comprises a support bench configured to support and guide, along an axis of movement, a mobile slider comprising a work plane on which a curving unit is operative. The combined machine has vise means in the support bench. The slider also comprises, on the work plane, a bending unit associated with the curving unit and the vise means are positionable in a direction orthogonal to the axis of movement.
Claims12
A combined machine for working a wire rod, in order to obtain metal products with a curved shape, the combined machine comprising
- a support bench,
- at least one mobile slider supported and guided by said support bench along an axis of movement,
- at least one curving unit operative on a work plane, wherein the curving unit comprises at least a curving roll and a contrast roll for curving the wire rod,
- said combined machine having a first vise means in the support bench,
- wherein the at least one slider also comprises, on the work plane, a bending unit, wherein the bending unit is provided with a central contrast pin and a bending pin rotatable peripherally to the contrast pin,
- said first vise means is movable in a direction orthogonal to the axis of movement;
- wherein the bending unit is configured to subject the wire rod to a localized deformation in a zone where the bending unit acts directly on the wire rod;
- and
- wherein the curving unit is configured to subject the wire rod to a continuous deformation for an extended longitudinal portion of a length of the wire rod.
