Abstract
A method and apparatus for cutting segments of wire from an advancing wire strand is disclosed. The segments can have a selectively predetermined length, and are cut from a strand traveling into a machine at a feed speed. The machine includes a moveable cutter that accelerates to the feed speed of the strand in a direction along the strand. A length of strand extending past the cutter is determined at real time based on a signal from a proximity sensor. When the speed of the cutter closely matches the feed speed and when the length of the strand extending past the cutter is determined to be equal to the predetermined length, the cutter is commanded to cut the strand and return to a home position.
