Straightening Press Application
Straightening presses are indispensable tools in modern manufacturing.
They correct the alignment and shape of metal components that are critical for the mechanical efficiency of critical automotive components, aerodynamic efficiency and structural stability of aircraft, and structural stability of buildings. And, straightening presses can reduce waste by correcting deformations on raw materials and components.
With straightening presses, manufacturing operations have better precision in producing components without decreasing its efficiency and productivity.
What is a Straightening Press?
A straightening press is a press, typically consisting of a gantry system and pressurized hydraulic system, used to straighten or align metal and steel materials. This is operated by positioning the workpiece between the rollers or plates of the machine. Once in position, the hydraulic system is triggered to apply the necessary force through the plates or rollers, straightening any blends or warping.
Applications of Straightening Presses
Below are the industries where straightening presses are crucial machines in their operations:
Automotive
Straightening presses are used for straightening axles and shafts due to machining, heat treatment, and forming processes. These are also used for correcting deformation in plates and large weldments due to heat during welding before proceeding with secondary production processes. Lastly, straightening presses are used to test critical automotive components, like crankshafts, axles, and camshafts, for smooth operation and performance.
Aerospace
Straightening presses maintain the integrity of aircraft metal components by aligning them to ensure their compliance to standards and their aerodynamic efficiency and structural stability. Metal parts aligned by straightening presses include wing spars, landing gear components, and fuselage sections.
Construction
Steel beams, girders and other structural elements, and plumbing, heating, and gas pipes in construction are straightened to correct any deformed parts from various manufacturing processes. Straightening presses correct any of the bends, twists, and misalignment that these components get during processing, handling, or transportation to ensure they meet the necessary standards for construction.
Manufacturing
Components made from metal sheets, bars, and tubes can bend, twist, or warp during processing. These deformations can affect the assembly and quality of the final product. Straightening presses are used to correct these issues, ensuring each part conforms to the required specifications.
Advantages of Using Straightening Presses
Straightening presses are critical tools in various industries with the numerous benefits they provide in enhancing manufacturing process and product quality. Below are the specific advantages of incorporating straightening presses in your operations:
High Precision and Accuracy
Straightening presses ensure components meet strict tolerances and specifications for further assembly or its intended use by gradually reshaping it to the desired form with minimal error. This allows manufacturers to have the precision and accuracy they require in high-volume production of high-quality parts, machinery, or products.
Improved Structural Integrity of Materials
Any bends, twists, or warps on structural components compromise their strength and functionality. Straightening presses can correct these imperfections by restoring their original shape, ensuring they can withstand the stresses and loads they are designed for.
Reduction in Material Waste
Straightening presses are beneficial tools in ensuring minimal waste is produced in a manufacturing operation. They can correct any imperfections on components that would otherwise be discarded due to their deformation, which helps in maintaining sustainable manufacturing practices and reducing the cost for purchasing and processing new raw materials.
Enhanced Production Efficiency
Straightening presses can correct imperfections on metal components quickly and efficiently. With it, manufacturing operations have no need for manual corrections or rework, leading to faster production cycles and faster throughput while reducing material waste and cost for purchasing and producing raw materials.
