Abstract
The present invention relates to a method of and a system for carrying out at least one operation on at least one wire(1) in a wire forming manufacturing machine, said operation involving deformation of at least a part of the wire, said machine comprising at least two counter-rotating synchronized blocks(2,4), said blocks each comprising at least one operation means(6,7) for performing said operation. The new and characterizing aspects involve that at least two co-operating following means(8,10) temporarily engage the wire, said engagement starting at least before or during the at least one operation, where at least one of said following means(8) is rotating with an axis of rotation parallel to a first block(2) and at least one second following means(10) is rotating with an axis of rotation parallel to a second block(4), and where the rotation of said following means is synchronized with the rotation of at least one block, and where the following means in a first phase of engagement is gradually yielding and in a second phase of engagement gradually expanding to follow the wire.
