Discovery Channel’s “Factory Made” Films Marlin Steel Wire for Upcoming Episode on Wire Baskets and Wire Forms A film crew captured the Marlin Wire production process from the beginning with design engineering to robotic wire forming and robotic welding, all the way to shipping of the finished product. By watching the step-by-step method, the Discovery Channel viewer will understand the multi-step process for Marlin Steel’s fabrication of custom wire baskets. The wire baskets welded in this episode of Factory Made will be exported to Mexico, Germany, France, and Australia. The complex wire forms bent on the new three-dimensional wire-forming robot will be exported to Ireland and Singapore. (Vocus) January 19, 2010 -- A film crew captured the Marlin Wire production process from the beginning with design engineering to robotic wire forming and robotic welding, all the way to shipping of the finished product. By watching the step-by-step method, the Discovery Channel viewer will understand the multi-step process for Marlin Steel’s fabrication of custom wire baskets. The wire baskets welded in this episode of Factory Made will be exported to Mexico, Germany, France, and Australia. The complex wire forms bent on the new three-dimensional wire-forming robot will be exported to Ireland and Singapore. The onsite producer said Discovery’s mission is to show the fabrication of the wire basket occurs “in a zen-like state.” The goal is to internalize the making of wire baskets and wire forms through direct, experiential realization as opposed to a written or mathematic equation. By deploying a tight close-up while filming, Factory Made will show the wire robot’s bending pins forming (bending) the wire and the copper electrodes welding together the custom stainless steel wire baskets. While watching Marlin Steel’s newest robot form wire at 495 feet per minute and trying to digest the concept of the bending pin spinning 10 full revolutions in a second, the producer announced to the Marlin Wire team, “I got to get a job here; I could watch this all day long.” The producer was particularly interested in how the various pairs of robots worked in harmony, with one robot bending the ends of a wire together while its “brother robot” formed the wire sounds in reverse order; one should form and then the brother should bend the ends together. Meanwhile, in a different robotic cell, the wire robot delivered parts to be completed by another robot doing the final bends. The crews filmed from 7:45am to 4pm with only a small break. Moving five sets of lights and repositioning cameras to get optimal angles, the crew tirelessly captured every element of the process in order to showcase the complexity of the effort and the tools used to make a wire basket or a wire form. The film crew is in the midst of filming 60 episodes for the upcoming season.
