TR | Tilt Rail Straightener

Precision Straightening for High-Tensile Wire Including, Piano, and Guitar String

Product Overview

The Tilt Rail Straightener (TR Series) is designed for precision straightening of high-tensile wire, including specialty applications like piano wire and musical instrument strings. Its tilting upper rail allows for fine-tuned adjustments, while optional quick-release T-handles enable faster roll changes to reduce downtime and easer restringing of rod.

Available in single-plane or modular configurations, it handles a range of wire diameters with consistent accuracy, making it ideal for demanding industries like automotive, medical, and musical instrument manufacturing.

1 Modular Configuration

Available in single-plane or combined horizontal/vertical setups for flexibility.

2 T-Handles or Dial Calibrator Options

Fast roll changes and restringing minimize downtime. The T-handles are optional, along with two fine thread adjusting screw knobs for variable calibration.

3 Tilting Upper Rail

Fine-tuned adjustment for consistent alignment with varying wire diameters. This straightener can accommodate wire ranges of 0.005 in to 0.032 inches.

4 High-Precision Rolls

Hardened and polished rolls guarantee reliable straightening even under high tension. Our high-precision straightening utilizes a maximum number of rolls to deliver adequate reverse bend cycles for high-strength wire. Standard rolls feature a V-shape, with optional groove profiles available upon request.
