A cable processing machine control system includes middleware for data exchange with data brokers of multiple cable processing machines, and a wearable communication device for data exchange with the middleware. When a user of the cable processing machine control system has logged into the wearable communication device, depending on a role of the user that is assigned by the middleware, different information is displayed for the user on the wearable communication device via the cable processing machines assigned to the assigned role of the user and/or different action possibilities for controlling the cable processing machines assigned to the assigned role of the user are provided for the user on the wearable communication device.

A simplified wire bending machine is provided comprising a bending head with an integrated wire cutoff mechanism. The bending head comprises an inner portion, wherein the inner portion includes a wire bending channel; and an outer portion, wherein the outer portion includes a cutting edge and one or more bending pins. The outer portion is rotatable about the inner portion such that a bending pin is capable of bending a wire around the inner portion. Further, the outer portion is movable from a first position to a second position in which the cutting edge is configured to engage and shear a wire.

A method includes a spiral forming step causing a substantially linear elongated member, conveyed toward one side in a longitudinal direction of the elongated member by a pair of conveying rollers, to be engaged at one side in a second direction with a pressing member movable in the second direction so that a spiral body including the fixed coil part, the first movable coil part and the second movable coil part is formed from the linear elongated member. The spiral forming step is configured to control the position of the pressing member with respect to the second direction, based on a signal from a rotational speed sensor detecting the rotational speed of the conveying roller, a relationship between a position in the longitudinal direction of the elongated member that is engaged with the pressing member and the position in the circumferential direction after the spiral body is formed.

A wire bending device that includes a housing have a top plate, wherein the top plate includes a curved slot, a first pair of opposing wheels positioned over the top plate for feeding wire, and a bend head. The bend head includes an aperture configured to pass the wire fed from the first pair of opposing wheels, and first and second bend surfaces positioned adjacent to the curved slot and the aperture. A cam member that includes sloping cam surfaces, and a rotating pulley, both positioned under the top plate and configured to cause a first pin to rise up and travel along the curved slot for engaging with and bending wire against the first bend surface, and to cause a second pin to rise up and travel along the curved slot for engaging with and bending wire against the second bend surface.
