Overview of Our Customizable Sectional Straightening Machines

What are part leveling machines?

Straightening machines are industrial machines used in metal processing to straighten flat materials such as sheets or strips. Straightening refers to correcting any deformations or bends in the material to ensure it has a smooth and even surface. This is especially important in processes where the accuracy of material dimensions and surface quality are crucial.

Structure and functionality

A straightening machine typically consists of a number of straightening rolls arranged in pairs. These rolls can be positioned either vertically or horizontally, depending on the type of machine and the requirements of the application. The material to be straightened is passed through the straightening rolls. The rolls are arranged in such a way that they correct deformations in the material and restore it to a flat shape. Depending on the requirements, straightening machines can have different configurations and numbers of straightening rolls.

Overview of the customizable sectional part straightening machines from G+K

G+K builds and supplies two types of so-called strip straightening machines. On one hand, this refers to board straightening machines; plasma- or laser-cut parts are straightened on roller straightening machines, usually equipped with numerous straightening rollers and close roller spacing. The systems are versatile and can be quickly adjusted to changing tasks.

On the other hand, this term refers to machines or devices into which components, usually of a more complex design, such as welded parts, are inserted. In a multi-stage measurement and control process, the calibration of certain required component properties takes place within the machine. Such systems are typically designed for one or a few products.

Customizable parameters of our part straightening machines

Number of straightening rollers

The number and arrangement of the straightening rollers affect the effectiveness of the straightening process. Partial straightening machines can have a varying number of straightening rollers, which are arranged in pairs.

Roller diameter

The diameter of the straightening rollers plays a role in adjusting to different material thicknesses and requirements.

Customizability

The ability of the slitting and leveling machine to adapt to different materials or material thicknesses.

Indicative power

The maximum force that the straightening machine can apply to the material (in tons). This is a measure of the straightening performance.

Alignment accuracy

The accuracy with which the divider straightening machine can align the material, often expressed in tolerances.

Energy efficiency

The energy consumption of the section straightener can be a factor, particularly with regard to operating costs and environmental impact.

Roller material

The straightening rollers can be made from various materials, including steel, carbide, or other alloyed materials. The choice of material depends on the materials being straightened and the operational requirements.

Adjustability of the straightening rollers

Our cut-to-length straightening machines often feature adjustable straightening rollers to accommodate various material thicknesses.

Recommended speed

The speed at which the material is transported through the straightening machine can be adjusted and affects the efficiency of the straightening process.

Drive system

The drive system of the strip straightening machine can be either mechanical or electrical, and it affects the performance and control of the machine.

Control system

Modern leveling machines can be equipped with advanced control systems that allow for precise adjustment of leveling parameters.

Working width

The working width indicates how wide the material to be straightened can be. This is an important feature to ensure that the machine is suitable for the specific application.

Maximum material thickness

The maximum material thickness that the slitting machine can process is a critical parameter for selecting the machine based on the requirements of the application.

Security features

Strip leveling machines can be equipped with safety features such as emergency stop switches, overload protection, and safety covers to ensure the safety of the operators.

Ease of maintenance

The accessibility and ease of maintenance of the machine can affect maintenance efficiency.
