Abstract
An exemplary system may be configured for wire operations. The system may include a wire tool and a drive device operatively connected to the drive device. The wire tool may include a tool body having a rotational axis. The tool body may include an outer shell, a distribution hub, one or more radial walls extending between the distribution hub and the outer shell, and respective channels formed by the outer shell, the distribution hub, and the one or more radial walls.
Claims20
A system for untwisting a wire, comprising:
- a wire tool including a tool body having a rotational axis, the tool body including
- an outer shell including an inner circumference,
- a distribution hub including an outer circumference,
- a plurality of radial walls extending between the outer circumference of the distribution hub and the inner circumference of the outer shell, and circumferentially spaced about the inner and outer circumferences, and
- respective channels formed by the inner circumference of the outer shell, the outer circumference of the distribution hub, and circumferentially adjacent walls of the plurality of radial walls,
- wherein the tool body is configured to split the wire into the respective channels, and the respective channels expand radially outward to separate the wire into wire strands corresponding to the respective channels;
- and
- a drive device operatively connected to the wire tool.
