Consider Wire Diameter Range

Wire diameter is one of the most important factors when selecting a spring making machine. Different wire diameter ranges require different machine models to ensure stable production, high precision, and efficient operation.

Spring Machine Selection Guide Based on Wire Diameter

Wire Diameter RangeRecommended Machine Type
0.08–1.0 mmAutomatic Spring Making Machine
0.2–2.5 mmSpring Coiling Machine
1.8–4.5 mmCNC Spring Machine
The larger the wire diameter, the more powerful the spring machine needs to be. Selecting a machine according to wire diameter helps ensure production efficiency, spring quality, and machine longevity. 

Check CNC Control System

When selecting a spring making machine, it is essential to inspect its supporting CNC control system. A high-performance and stable CNC system enables precise control over spring forming tolerances, streamlines machine debugging procedures, and effectively boosts overall production output and machining consistency.

Automation Level

Semi-automatic and fully automatic spring making machines come with distinct pros and cons. Semi-automatic spring machines feature lower costs yet lower production efficiency, while fully automatic spring machines deliver high output and cut down labor expenses.

Machine Stability and Service Life

When selecting a spring machine, it is crucial to focus on the body structure, guide rails, servo systems, and the brands of electrical components, as these factors are essential for maximizing production capacity.

Machine Body Structure

All CNC spring making machines from Jinchun Industrial adopt thickened integrated cast frames with stress relief aging treatment, delivering outstanding rigidity and resisting deformation under long-term heavy-load operation. The machine features a modular layout divided into wire feeding unit, forming tool holder, cutting mechanism and electrical cabinet, equipped with fully enclosed dust-proof covers. This structural design balances robust stability and easy daily maintenance, ideal for mass continuous spring production.

Guide Rails

Each unit is standardly equipped with high-precision linear guide rails from HIWIN, Taiwan. Dual guide rails synchronously support forming arms and wire feeding slides, featuring low friction and ultra-low linear positioning deviation. Made of high-hardness wear-resistant material, the rails retain consistent forming accuracy during long reciprocating motion and minimize later maintenance & replacement costs.

Servo System

Jinchun supplies multiple servo configurations for different production demands. Standard models are fitted with Orui servo motors, while premium versions adopt Japanese Sanyo servo drives. Each axis (wire feeding, bending, wire rotation, cutting) is controlled by independent closed-loop servo with millisecond-level synchronous response. High torque output stabilizes forming for thin and thick wires, controlling dimensional tolerance within ±0.01mm.

Electrical Component Brands

Core electrical parts are sourced from top international brands: main control PLC uses Siemens (Germany); touchscreen, relays, circuit breakers and sensors are standard Schneider; terminal blocks and voltage stabilizers apply Delta (Taiwan). The whole electrical system boasts strong anti-interference performance, complies with EU CE safety standards, and ensures low failure rate and stable long-hour operation.

FAQ

1
What spring machine do I need?
It depends on your wire diameter, spring type (compression/torsion/extension), daily output and precision demand. Small batch & low-budget clients pick semi-automatic coilers; mass production or complex wire forms require multi-axis CNC fully automatic spring forming machines.
2
How much does a spring making machine cost?
Prices vary greatly. Semi-automatic basic models start from $8,000–$15,000; standard 3–8 axis CNC automatic machines range $16,000–$60,000; high-end multi-axis universal forming machines exceed $70,000, affected by wire capacity, axis quantity and brand configuration.
3
Can one machine produce different spring sizes?
Yes, within its rated wire diameter and forming range. CNC spring machines store multiple production programs; you only switch programs and simple tooling to make springs of different outer diameters, free lengths and shapes. Exceeding the machine’s wire limit will require another model.
4
What wire materials can be processed?
Our spring machines support carbon steel, stainless steel, music wire, alloy steel, copper wire and galvanized wire, widely used for electronics, automotive, medical and hardware spring manufacturing.
5
How long does spring machine installation take?
Semi-automatic machines take 1–2 days for unpacking, wiring and trial debugging. Standard CNC automatic models need 3–5 days. Large multi-axis universal forming machines take 5–7 days for full assembly, calibration and operator training.
