What Is a 3D CNC Wire Bending Machine—and Why Is It the Game-Changer for Cup & Dish Rack Production?

In homeware, kitchen, and bathroom hardware industries, wire-based racks for dishes, cups, and bowls are everyday essentials. Typically made from 3–8mm iron wire, these racks require multiple stages: bending, forming, and assembling. Unfortunately, traditional production methods rely on manual templating and single-point bending, resulting in low efficiency (under 200 pieces per shift) and major quality issues—like inconsistent curves and misaligned joints.

 

The solution? The Jinchun 3D CNC wire bending and forming machine — a fully automated, smart system developed to revolutionize wire product manufacturing. Built by experienced small 2D CNC iron wire bending machine manufacturers, this all-in-one system integrates wire feeding, bending, rotating, and cutting to achieve true 3D wire forming automation.

 

From round dish holders and tiered cup racks to complex organizers, this CNC bender allows manufacturers to input parameters and instantly switch designs — turning “small wire” into “big production” with unmatched efficiency.

 

Why Is the 3D Wire Bending Machine a Productivity Booster for Rack Manufacturers?

Let’s break down the three reasons Jinchun’s system leads the industry:

 

⚙️1. End-to-End Automation: From Raw Wire to Finished Product — No Human Input

Drive & Rotation System: Features a 2.7kW wire feeding motor and a 1.5kW servo-driven rotation axis, optimized for precise handling of 3–8mm iron and stainless steel wire.

Straightening Module: Includes 18 high-hardness rollers to maintain wire deviation under 0.05mm, eliminating pre-forming errors.

10-Axis Linkage: Enables synchronized feeding, bending, angle-shifting, and closing, achieving a full cycle in just 7–8 seconds. That’s 360–480 pcs/hour, a 3–4x boost over legacy machines.

➤ Case in point: A factory in Jingdezhen tripled their output from 800 to 2,400 pcs per shift and cut labor costs by 60% after switching to Jinchun.

 

⚠️ 2. Millimeter Precision: Complex Forms with a 99.8% Good Yield Rate

Unlike conventional single-point benders, this 3D wire bender uses a CNC line forming system that builds fully parametric 3D wire models:

Wire feed precision of 0.1mm and angular control within ±0.5°

Ideal for variable-radius arcs and symmetrical multi-level cup racks

Smart QC features like blade break detection and real-time vision inspection automatically reject nonconforming pieces

With this machine, what you design is what you get—no manual tweaking, no post-processing.

 

⏳ 3. Flexible Production: One Machine, 10,000 Styles

Program memory: Supports 10,000+ wire bending recipes stored on the cloud or locally

Quick changeovers: Switch styles in under 3 minutes with one-click program load—no mold change required

Multilingual Interface: English and Chinese UI + visual programming = easy for non-technical staff to operate

Multi-material compatibility: Processes round, flat, and square wires in iron, stainless steel, and more

Whether producing dish racks, towel holders, or balcony organizers, this is truly a “one machine, multi-product” solution.

 

How Does It Work? Inside the 3-Step Magic of 3D Wire Forming

✅ Step 1: Intelligent Preprocessing — Straightening & Tension Control

18 sets of hardened rollers flatten out wire fed from a decoiler, while variable-frequency motors dynamically control wire tension. The servo system ensures a constant feed rate, eliminating diameter inconsistencies caused by pull variations.

 

✅ Step 2: 3D Forming — Complex Geometry Made Simple

An 8-station wire rotation unit is the core of the forming process. Here’s what it does:

Rotates wire using a 1.5kW servo motor to adjust bending angle from 90° to 270° in just 0.3 seconds

Executes sequential forming through bending, pressing, and coiling modules

Builds structures like double-tier racks by forming lower rings and then lifting and forming upper supports in one flow

All operations are CNC-controlled with zero human intervention.

 

✅ Step 3: Finishing — Auto Cutting & Product Collection

After forming:

A 2.0kW motor drives the alloy blade for cutting with ±0.2mm edge accuracy

Finished products drop into a collection bin via gravity slide

Integrated sensors track output, sync with MES systems, and enable traceability from prototype to batch production

Need to prototype first? No problem. The machine supports trial run → code locking → full-scale rollout, greatly reducing time-to-market for new designs.
