Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2015007496A1] The invention relates to a method for producing coil springs by spring winding by means of a numerically controlled spring winding machine, wherein a wire is fed by a feeding device of a forming device of the spring winding machine under the control of an NC control program and is formed into a coil spring by means of tools of the forming device, and a finished coil spring is then severed from the fed wire by means of a cutting device. Before the finished coil spring is severed, a linear weakening is produced in the region of the surface of the wire at least at two diametrically opposite segments of the wire circumference at a defined severing position along the wire. In one embodiment, two notching tools (152, 154) are used for this purpose, which superficially notch the wire from opposite sides without cutting through the wire. The finished coil spring is then severed from the fed wire at the severing position, e.g., by means of a torsion cut.
