RMG offers the most comprehensive line of rotary straighten and cut machines available in the wire processing industry.
Our RMG line offers five models of wire straightening and cutting equipment rated for 0.050” (1.3mm) to 0.500” (12.7mm) maximum capacity. Each model utilizes the innovative, easy-to-adjust single offset – variable pitch – three die arbor, with our patented “Clutchless Cutter” for improved performance and less maintenance. RMG rotary straighten and cut machines are ideally suited for quick changeovers from one wire diameter to another and our “Micro Fine” length control allows for accurate cut length adjustments in .001” increments while the machine is running.
