Abstract
The present invention relates to a method of and a system for carrying out at least one operation on at least one wire( ) 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( ), said blocks each comprising at least one operation means( ) for performing said operation. The new and characterizing aspects involve that at least two co-operating following means( ) 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( ) is rotating with an axis of rotation parallel to a first block( ) and at least one second following means( ) is rotating with an axis of rotation parallel to a second block( ), 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.
