Curve Up/Down Adjustment
some applications have dies that cannot accept anything but flat stock and
other dies run better with the material curving up or down to miss the built in
edge required in the die. before this feature was added, operators would under
straighten or over straighten the material to suit their needs but in doing so
would severely change the material entering the die. This not only caused
feeding problems but part quality problems. With this feature, curve up or down
can be accomplished by changing the position of the rolls without stressing
the material.
Entrance Guide roll Block
all straighteners are shipped with
an entrance guide roll block. This
block contains a roller and two quick
release adjustable edge guides.
Standard Straightener componentS
Entrance Cascade roll
The entrance cascade roll assembly
is used to maintain a support arc for
stock entering a feed. The cascade
roll has three extra rollers to help
the material flow better. It is a direct
replacement to the guide roll block
and has the same bolt pattern.
Exit Cascade roll
The straightener is shipped with the
exit side pre-drilled for the cascade
roll or guide roll block. The entrance
and exit use the same components.
Dial Indicator Gauges
The sc straighteners are built with
the machining complete to add on
the dial indicator gauges. The need of
this feature becomes apparent when
many different materials with varying
thickness are used. after setting up
a material for straightening, record
the gauge positions and then the next
time the material is used, use the re-
corded information for a faster setup.
optional Straightener componentS
Angle Bracket
Rapid air offers this accessory that
mounts between the straightener
head and the base. It angles the
exit side of the straightener twelve
degrees lower than the entrance
side. This feature works very well
when using the straightener to pull
off a non-powered reel.
