Loading material into the D.I.Wire is a simple process. 

Use the Preset Torque Wrench to loosen the Feed Wheels, 

then tighten after material is inserted.

START POINT

For Path Mode, the path starting position is 

centered at the Bend Head.

START POINT

Load material up until the end is positioned 

between the Bend Head mandrels.
Tighten the Feed Wheels with the Preset 

Torque Wrench.

Loosen the Feed Wheels with the Preset 

Torque Wrench.
Load the wire through the Wire Guides (1), 

into the Feed Wheels (2), and toward the 

Bend Head (3). 

HOME 
BUTTON

HOMING SEQUENCE

The machine must be homed when turning on the 

machine, or restarting, or if it has lost position

Before bending, the D.I.Wire needs to go 

through the homing sequence to ensure the

bend pin is in the proper position.  

Automatically lowers the Bend Ring and 

causes the machine to locate and rest at 

Home (machine position zero)
