Precision Cutting for Metal Wire

Burr-Free, Square Cuts to Tight Tolerances in Short or Long Lengths

Precision Wire Cutting & End Forming Services

Component Supply provides precision wire cutting services for small-diameter metal wire used in medical devices, laboratories, research, and industrial applications. Our cutting capabilities produce square, burr-free wire components to tight tolerances while supporting both prototype development and production-scale manufacturing.

Component Supply specializes in precision cutting of small diameter wire ranging from 0.005” to 0.1500” in diameter, with cut lengths available from as short as 0.025” to as long as 80.00”. Tight process controls help maintain dimensional consistency, clean edge quality, and repeatable part performance across miniature and precision wire components.

Our precision wire cutting capabilities support:

  • Square-cut wire
  • Burr-free wire cutting
  • Tight-tolerance cut lengths
  • Short precision wire segments
  • Long wire component cutting
  • Prototype and production quantities
  • Small-diameter wire fabrication
  • Specialty wire processing

Precision-cut wire is commonly used in:

  • Medical device assemblies
  • Catheter and guidewire systems
  • Mandrels and core wires
  • Stylet manufacturing
  • Electrode components
  • Sensor assemblies
  • Minimally invasive
  • surgical devices
  • Precision industrial applications

In addition to precision cutting, Component Supply offers secondary end-forming and grinding operations that can be applied to one or both ends of the wire depending on the application and assembly requirements.

Available wire end-forming options include:

  • Bull nose or full radius ends
  • Chamfered ends
  • Beveled ends
  • Conical grinding
  • Point grinding
  • Aggressive deburring
  • Broken edge configurations
  • Custom end geometries

Component Supply works closely with engineers to determine appropriate wire diameters, cut lengths, edge conditions, end forms, and tolerance requirements based on assembly fit, insertion requirements, safety considerations, manufacturability, and overall device performance.

Our wire fabrication capabilities support a variety of materials including:

  • 304 stainless steel wire
  • 316 stainless steel wire
  • Nitinol wire
  • PTFE coated wire
  • Application-specific materials upon request

Following cutting and end forming, components can be further customized through grinding, bending, EDM machining, laser welding, passivation, coating coordination, and additional secondary fabrication operations to support complete prototype and production-ready assemblies.
