Three dimensional wire bending apparatus

A system for automatically shaping wires comprising:

• a base support;
• a straightening mechanism positioned on one end of the base support for receiving and straightening an input wire;
• two articulated robotic arms having approximately the same size and the same shape, each robotic arm including a plurality of pivotable links;
• two railing mechanisms, each positioned on one longitudinal side of the base support and each connected to one of the two articulated robotic arms for enabling linear movement of the two articulated robotic arms;
• a clamping mechanism attached to one of the plurality of pivotable links for holding the input wire in place;
• a bending unit located adjacent to the clamping mechanism for shaping the input wire;
• a cutting mechanism for cutting the shaped wire as needed;
• and
• a controller for controlling the operation of the system,
• wherein each robotic arm is movable in a longitudinal linear direction along the base support and each robotic arm has a predetermined degree of freedom of movement.
