Abstract: A method and device for rotating and machining bar material which comprises holding a disc-shaped rotor rotatably around a horizontal axis, providing a pair of rails which are radially opposite to each other and have chord-shaped sliding surfaces in parallel with each other in the vicinity of the peripheral edge of the front end of said rotor, engaging tool holders slidably with each of said pair of rails, fixing a pair of tools securely by said tool holders, feeding a workpiece of bar material toward the center of rotation of the rotor, holding the workpiece securely between the tools, and rotating the rotor to displace the tools in the directions opposite to each other along the rails.

Abstract: The invention provides a method and an apparatus for automatic production of coiled springs, wherein the spring has close windings at both ends and rough windings with relatively large pitch in the middle portion, by shifting the supplying positions of a material wire in relation to a rotating fixed coil-supporter at varied speed in accordance with a desired winding pitch.
