Spring-Forming Machines

Spring-forming machines support our daily life in many ways through the production of various kinds of springs.

There are different kinds of springs: compression, extension, and torsion springs. Springs are used in many objects that return to their original positions, such as pedals, doorknobs, and buttons.
Our precision spring-forming machines can process wires as thin as ø0.016 mm. We pride ourselves on our precision processing technology, which is capable of producing coils with a diameter thinner than a single strand of human hair.
Spring-forming machines can also bend and form wire freely. Our precision spring-forming machines are used worldwide for a wide variety of products, including electrical products, medical equipment, automobiles, smartphones, fishing tackle, furniture, stationery, toys, and even in the manufacturing process of ultra-high-precision semiconductors.
