Key Benefits
1Locking Handles
Ensure the adjustable rolls maintain precise alignment, eliminating the risk of accidental or partial opening.
2Connecting Bracket For Proper Alignment
An expertly designed and manufactured bracket eliminates the need for a traditional baseplate, leading to a more lightweight design and providing improved alignment between the two planes of your 2-plane straightener. This is essential in assemblies with up to 13 rolls per section!
3Quick Release Lever
Allows for simple opening without affecting roll adjustments, facilitating swift wire changeovers and minimizing downtime.
4Versatile Configuration
Equipped with 5, 7, 9, 11, or 13 straightener rolls, these units can handle wire diameters from 0.08 mm to 15 mm. They are offered in both one and two-plane configurations to remove cast, helix, or both, and come in 8 different orientations to ensure optimal flexibility.
5Customizable Grooved Rolls
Standard rolls are designed with V-grooves cut into precision ball bearings, ensuring durability and longevity. For tailored processing requirements, we offer optional groove profiles, including U-grooves and custom shapes, renowned for their precision in the industry.
