Pave CNC Wire Forming Systems Ltd is not only a leading manufacturer, but probably the original innovator, of computer controlled bending machinery for the international wire/tube and heating element forming industries.
Their state-of-art, user-friendly and highly competitive single and twin head wire forming centres are being used by an international list of clients to manufacture a wide variety of products in a highly diverse range of industries. With advanced, intuitive software the company make wire forming simple, whilst their use of technology for support with remote machine access and video call technology enables us to assist with programming complex parts or fault finding to ensure down time is kept to a minimum.
Tony Perna first established Pave in 1974, having seen the shortcomings of wire machines at the time. As an innovator he began designing and building his own machines, which were the first CNC wire bending machines in the world! For the first time, manufacturers could use a machine for multiple projects, satisfying orders to manufacture wire formed products ranging from 1.6mm to 25mm diameter wire in mild steel, stainless steels, galvanised steel and hardened spring steels.
An early beneficiary of this new approach was the heating element industry, where the forming of tubular heating element shapes entailed a great deal of manual labour. These initial automated techniques were actuated and controlled pneumatically, and provided the valuable experience that would later be used to develop the computer programmable wire forming machines that followed.
In 1985 design of the first computer controlled forming machine was undertaken, and after extensive development and testing the first programmable bending machine was launched.
From these humble beginnings, Pave is now housed in state of the art premises with an incredible exhibition hall, and have built and sold thousands of machines which are in use across the globe. All machines continue to be hand built at Pave headquarters in Peterborough, England, and utilise latest technology for remote support. Some of the original machines are still going strong, so testament to British manufacturing.
