An eyewinder system (10) has stations (100-108) for straightening, bending, measuring and transporting a wire (11) to form an eye wire (109). A controller (120) controls each station. Using information from tension and length measuring stations (104, 105), the controler (120) can accurately operate the second bending ration (107). The eyewire (109) is inspected for accurate bends by an inspection system (140) that compares the bends in the eyewire (109) to predetermined radil of curvature. A base curve bending station (801) has a shuttle (810) and a turntable (830). A wire (820) passing through the shuttle (810) is bent and the head of the wire is held in one direction while the turntable allows the body of the wire to move in a plane transverse to the axis of rotation of the turntable.
