Abstract Now days, there are wide verity of wire products like welding electrode, weld mesh, heat treated kitchen baskets, automobile spark plugs and exhaust valves etc. For manufacturing all above products, wire is used as primary element and is to be straighten from coil form. Now straighten wire is to be cut into wire rod as per required length. For these sequential operations, wire straightening cutting machine is used. Now days, conventional type wire straightening cutting machine are being used in which wire is cut by stopper cutter head which is limited by its length as well as feeding speed. This paper surveys straightening and cutting process used in such machines. Although this review cannot be collectively exhaustive, it may be considered as a valuable guide for researchers who are interested to develop next generation of wire straightening cutting machines.
