Abstract
A tie rod forming apparatus includes a frame for supporting a material holding unit that releasably holds tie rod stock material, and a feed bed in structural communication with the material holding unit. The feed bed selectively accepts and manipulates the tie rod stock material. A cutting assembly is provided in operative communication with the feed bed, and an operator interface module is in communication with the material holding unit and the cutting assembly. The material holding unit selectively dispenses the tie rod stock material to the feed bed, and the cutting assembly manipulates a portion of the dispensed tie rod stock material, in dependence upon parameters communicated by the operator interface module.
