[0002] PIN is a metal material used to complete the transmission of electrical signals. PIN is widely used in military industry, aerospace, mechanical processing, metallurgy, oil drilling, mining tools, electronic communications and other fields. With the continuous development and progress of science and technology, especially electronic technology, the market demand is becoming increasingly strong, and the demand for PIN is also increasing. In this context, how to improve the processing efficiency of PIN has always been a research hotspot for technicians.

[0003] In the prior art, although PIN bending is a simple task, it is mostly done manually. Some manufacturers are gradually trying to use shearing devices to semi-automatically or automatically shear PINs. However, for PINs, shearing the waste material is only a process. Most PINs need to be bent to varying degrees according to the application scenario. Therefore, the bending and shearing of the PIN have to be divided into independent processes, which has high labor costs and low efficiency. Therefore, in this technical field, there is an urgent need for an automatic PIN bending machine with simple configuration, low production cost, and the ability to simultaneously complete PIN bending and waste material shearing.
