systems and methods for producing metallic frames from wire or strip or other material of prismatic cross section , which material may subjected to plastic bending , and the ends of which are joined together . the production process for metallic frames occurs in three phases , in three separate positions , which may function independently of one another . in the first position the wire or strip may be pulled from a spool , be straightened , then measured in length and cut . at the second position the beginning and end of wire material are there transferred , and there the ends are joined . in the third phase the frame is transferred , with its ends joined , and the measurements and bendings of the sides are made , so as to produce a desired product configuration at the third position .
