Abstract
An apparatus for processing wire comprising conveyor structure for displacing the wire endwise, the conveyor structure including first upper and lower endless conveyors engageable with opposite sides of the wire; and first upper and lower assemblies for carrying and controllably driving the conveyors; there being frame structure, including guide structure on which the assemblies are supported and guided for movement toward and away from one another; there being timing belts operatively connected with the assemblies to transmit drive to the conveyors via the assemblies, in different positions of the assemblies associated with the relative movement thereof. Wires of different diameters may be advanced by the conveyors while the same axis of wire travel is maintained.
