Self Cutting Wire bender

A device for bending wire, comprising:

• a plate that includes:
• upper and lower surfaces with a center aperture extending there between, and
• a first pin extending from the upper surface;
• a shaft extending through the center aperture and terminating in a bend head, wherein the bend head includes:
• a wire aperture configured to pass a wire, and
• first and second bend surfaces positioned adjacent the wire aperture;
• a sleeve rotatably disposed around the shaft;
• a first motor configured to rotate the plate about the shaft in opposing first and second rotational directions;
• a second motor configured to move the plate between an extended position and an intermediate position along the shaft;
• a third motor configured to rotate the sleeve about the shaft in the opposing first and second rotational directions;
• wherein the plate positioned in the extended position and rotating in the first rotational direction causes the first pin to travel in front of the wire aperture;
• wherein the plate positioned in the intermediate position and rotating in the first rotational direction causes the first pin to travel underneath the wire aperture;
• wherein the shaft includes a cavity therein in communication with second apertures in a sidewall of the shaft, and the sleeve including a cam surface facing the shaft;
• a plunger disposed in the cavity and having a second cam surface and an upper surface;
• ball bearings each disposed in one of the apertures and between the cam surface and the second cam surface;
• wherein rotation of the sleeve in the first rotational direction causes the cam surface to move the ball bearings toward a center of the cavity of the shaft and engaging the second cam surface for driving the plunger upwardly in the cavity;
• and
• wherein rotation of the sleeve in the second rotational direction causes the cam surface to allow the ball bearings to move away from the center of the cavity of the shaft for allowing the plunger to move downwardly in the cavity.
