3Tilting 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

4High-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.

5Music Wire Capability

Specialized models with V-grooves and high-roll capacity for fine wire with high tensile strength, specialized for music wire and piano wire.
