Hello all, I am pretty new to these forums, but I have been working more and more with PLC's and seem to be progressing. I am in the middle of trying to get my manufacturing business up and running and I have just no more time left to work on projects. I am in need of one machine build for my business and I am sure someone here has the skills to complete this for a decent price. I will outline what I am after...
I currently manufacture wire and strip forms. Custom shapes for different industries. I am after a machine that can take wire from a coil or spool and servo feed into a set of forming rollers that makes the wire into a round ring. I don't need much in the way of controls, just some basic stuff (feed length, start, stop, etc.). Here is an example of a machine that does what I need but also incorporates welding and other automation that is not at all needed.

There is also a video on the page. I don't need the welding apparatus or any of the automation that goes along with it. I also think there could be a better way to cut the ring, possible with just an air cylinder and a die and knife. I already have a roll straightener, so I just need someone to design the servo feeds with basic controls going into a few forming rolls that makes the ring shape.
Anyway, this is a start. If anyone is interested in this project please email me and we can go from there. Budget is pretty limited right now, but I really would like to get this going. Thanks everyone!
