What Is a 2D CNC Bending Machine—and How Can It Boost Pet Cage Latch Production?

As the pet products market booms globally, pet cage latches have become essential components that directly impact the durability, fit, and safety of cages. For manufacturers, the key challenge is this: how to produce thousands of precise latches from 3–8mm iron wire without manual bottlenecks?

 

Enter the Jinchun 2D CNC wire bending machine — a purpose-built solution by leading small 2D CNC iron wire bending machine manufacturers. With automatic feeding, bending, forming, and cutting all in one machine, it allows manufacturers to scale output and reduce costs while meeting the strict quality standards of the pet industry.

 

Why Use a 2D CNC Wire Bender for Pet Cage Latch Production?

The production of pet cage latches presents three main challenges:

✅ Complex wire specs – Typically 3–8mm diameter, with different thicknesses and bend types

✅ Custom shapes – U-bends, 90° turns, hooks, or custom configurations depending on cage design

✅ Mass production pressure – Requires speed without sacrificing consistency

 

Traditional methods—manual or semi-automatic—fall short:

❌ Inconsistent quality due to human error

❌ Frequent tool changes slow down small-batch production

❌ High waste and labor costs

 

Jinchun’s 2D CNC wire bender and forming machine is built to overcome these issues by offering:

Full process automation

High-speed servo precision

Flexible program storage and quick setup

How Does the 2D CNC Machine Efficiently Produce Cage Latches?

⚙️ 1. End-to-End Automation: From Wire to Finished Part in One Cycle

This machine handles 3–8mm wire with ease. Here's how:

 

➤ Wire Feeding

Uses 3 feeding rollers (Cr12 steel) to handle variable diameters

Servo-controlled for feed rates up to 300m/min

Integrated SKD11/55 straightening module ensures ±0.05mm wire alignment

 

➤ Bending & Forming

4-axis linkage structure enables simultaneous multi-angle bends (±180°)

Up to 300 stored bending programs allow for instant style switching

High-precision Cr12MoV molds ensure durability and corrosion resistance

 

➤ Precision Monitoring

Sensors detect each bend’s angle in real time

Final tolerance within ±0.5mm — consistent fit every time

 

⚙️ Output speed: 8–10 pcs/min — over 3x faster than traditional methods.

 

⏳2. Flexible Programming: Adapt to Multiple Sizes & Shapes in Minutes

The pet market moves fast — so should your production line. The Jinchun 2D CNC wire bender supports:

➤ 300 motion sequences per program, 7” touchscreen interface

➤ Tool-free changeovers in under 3 minutes

 

Compatible with round, flat, and square wire shapes

Whether producing U-bends, arcs, or asymmetrical hooks, simply load the program and go — no manual recalibration or mold change needed.

 

➤ Use Case: A manufacturer in Weifang, Shandong produced 20,000+ latch parts daily using the same line for mixed orders.

 

⚙️ 3. Built for Reliability: Industrial-Grade Components for Long-Term Use

➤ 3.8kW servo (wire feed) + 1.5kW servo (bending)

➤ 850kg rigid cast iron frame for vibration-free operation

 

⚙️ Pneumatic system controls bending force, preventing wire deformation

⚠️ Bilingual interface (EN/CN), USB program transfer, operator-friendly UX

Even a first-time operator can manage production with minimal training.
