A method of producing shaped parts includes drawing wire from a wire stock and feeding the wire to a processing machine; straightening the wire in the wire processing machine; and separating shaped parts of a predefinable wire length from the straightened wire, wherein, to separate a shaped part from the fed wire, at a separating position provided for separation, the wire is first notched in at least one notching operation from two opposite sides by notching tools such that a tapered wire cross section remains between opposing notches at the separating position, and in a dividing operation, the notched wire is separated at the separating position in a region of the tapered wire cross section by engagement of two dividing tools on opposite sides of the wire and their synchronous feed in opposite feed directions perpendicularly to the wire axis until the wire material is severed at the separating position.

An embedded wire removal tool is disclosed. The embedded wire removal tool can include a feed mechanism operable to cause movement of a cable. The cable can have a jacket about a core. The cable can also include a wire disposed about the core and at least partially embedded in the jacket. The embedded wire removal tool can also include a jacket cutter operable to receive the cable from the feed mechanism and remove at least a portion of the jacket. In addition, the embedded wire removal tool can include a wire excavator operable to separate the wire from the core.

The disclosure relates to an apparatus for continuous processing of a cable-to-be-recycled simultaneously with being pulled from a pull zone during reconductoring or restringing so as to avoid storing the cable-to-be-recycled on a reel, wherein said cable-to-be-recycled has a cable length equal to a length of the pull zone, wherein the cable-to-be-recycled has aluminum strands surrounding a core, and wherein the cable-to-be-recycled is pulled during a pull from the pull zone by a first puller, the apparatus including: a strand cutter adapted to be used in proximity to the puller and adapted to continuously receive the cable-to-be-recycled and to cut through the aluminum strands of the cable-to-be-recycled, while in proximity to the puller, so as to remove segments of the aluminum strands from the core of the cable-to-be-recycled, for recycling of the segments of the aluminum strands, while leaving the core intact as the cable-to-be-recycled passes through the strand cutter during the pull from the pull zone of the cable-to-be-recycled.

A method for manufacturing metal parts with split ends joined. An end of a metal plate or solid metal rod is split. The length of the incision is adjusted and a smooth split face is formed. A metal plate is secured by pinching both sides with a clamping device, or a solid metal rod is pinched on opposite portions on the periphery with a clamping device. The plate/rod is split longitudinally by slitting or cleaving the plate/rod by pressing a slitting or cleaving punch against the face of one end of the plate/rod. The splitting is advanced by repeating the operation of pressing the punch against the cleft of the splitting. In each splitting operation, the position of the clamping device is moved in advance of the next pressing by a stroke corresponding to the distance from one end of the plate/rod, to the distal end of a split-desired portion.
