About Straighteners
Straighteners are used to straighten wire or wire products from rolls or coils. They are designed to save set-up time, reduce raw material scrap, decrease downtime, and produce a consistent end product. There are many different types of straighteners. Examples include 1-plane, 2-plane, 3-plane, or 4-plane devices. The proper selection of a straightener depends on the material, shape, required tolerances, and design for specific material ranges. A 1-plane straightener is for thin strip applications. A 2-plane straightener is for uniformity and variable control with four point contact. A 3-plane straighteners is for triangular or shaped material. A 4-plane straightener is for multi-directional critical tolerances with a nine point contact. A four plant straightener enables more consistency than a 2-plane straightener. A wire straightening and cut off machine is used for drawn wires and is generally utilized to straighten mild steel wires. Other types of straighteners are commonly available.
