In wire processing systems and methods, a wire channel receives a wire. One or more fluid guides flow the fluid into the wire channel to move, along the wire, a component (e.g. a solder sleeve) positioned at least partially in the wire channel and coupled to the wire. Other features are also provided.

An apparatus for manufacturing a guitar string includes a table part; a holding part holds both ends of a first wire so that the first wire is rotatable; a winding part which is movable in a direction in which the first wire is extended, so that the winding part sequentially winds a second wire around on the outer surface of the first wire being rotated; and a supply part for supplying the second wire to the winding part, wherein the supply part includes a height measuring part; a first pulley part including a movable pulley and a movable body; a bobbin part around which the second wire has been wound; a motor part for rotating the bobbin part; and a control part which controls the speed of the second wire supplied to the winding part by controlling the operation of the motor part.

A spring forming machine includes: a forming tool slide mechanism including a slider with a forming tool; a first lifting mechanism including a slider with a pitch tool; a second lifting mechanism including a slider with a cutting tool; a fixing base to which the wire feeder and the forming tool slide mechanism are attached; a lifting base to which the cored bar, the first lifting mechanism, and the second lifting mechanism are attached; a plurality of servo motors serving as drive sources; a controller controlling the servo motors; an individual drive control unit individually driving the servo motors; and an interlocking control unit that, when the servo motor of the lifting base is individually operated, interlocks the servo motors of the lifting base and the first lifting mechanism and, when the servo motor of the first lifting mechanism is individually operated, does not interlock the servo motors thereof.

A coil spring manufacturing device includes a mandrel around which a wire is wound, a feed mechanism which feeds the wire toward the mandrel, guide members which guide the wire, a chuck which fixes a distal end of the wire, and a clamp mechanism. The clamp mechanism sandwiches the wire from both sides before the distal end of the wire reaches the mandrel. Further, the clamp mechanism can be rotated about a fulcrum by rotation actuator, and can also be slid in a direction along an axis of the mandrel by sliding actuator. In a state in which the wire is sandwiched by the clamp mechanism, the clamp mechanism is rotated, and if necessary, is slid. Thereby, a bent portion for a negative pitch portion of a coil spring is formed at a part of the wire.
