Precision Straighteners

Witels-Albert GmbH will be presenting both new and field-proven solutions from its range of straightener, roll, guide, feed and pre-former products at WIRE/TUBE 2008 (March 31-April 04 2008, Dusseldorf). Minimised deformation under load, high precision and a reliable quick-response locking mechanism (suitable in particular for high-strength wires) are features of the newly developed RS straightening units. Users will like the easy operation caused by the quick closing mechanism and the roll adjustment mechanisms located only on one side of the straightener. The roll diameter and the distance between straightening rolls have been optimised in order to be able to straighten process materials that have a wide range of diameter sizes. The straightening rolls can be regreased and are prepared for resisting high speeds and high loads. As an option alternative roll materials or specific coatings can be realized. Straighteners RS series are available in five sizes at the present time, which allows to straighten wires in between 1.5 mm and 9.0 mm diameter.
