ABSTRACT:
A wire processing machine is disclosed having a wire feed unit (14) that draws wire (22) from an endless source (20). A wire processing unit (12) receives the wire from the feed unit for performing a manufacturing operation therewith, the wire being intermittently fed by the feed unit (14). A dereeling unit (18) is provided having a drive mechanism (28,30) in driving engagement with the wire (22) for removing the wire at a constant speed. A tensioning device (42, 46, 74, 76) is provided to maintain a desired tension on the wire (22) during dereeling. A wire marking unit (16) is provided including a wire storage mechanism (110, 114, 138, 140) arranged for storing a selected length of wire so that the marking unit can be positioned close to the machine (10).
