Imperial products of india manufactures strip straightening machine. It removes curvature from the strip and conditions its edges to facilitate for it to pass through the die on the power press and also gives flattened surface of cut pieces. It helps to bring automation in press work. The machine consists of heavy-duty structure precisely machined and with odd number of rollers made of alloy steels. They are hardened, ground, hard chrome plated and their ends supported on grease packed needle and radial ball bearings. Their number depends upon the flatness accuracy required. More the number of rollers better is the flatness accuracy. Top straightening rollers are individually adjustable and set in taper position depth wise. Scales are provided to set penetration of rollers. Bottom rollers are driven and pinch rollers, four in number [two at the entry and two at the exit], pull and push the strip into the straightener. Guides at the entry and exit make the strip to move into a straight line. Loop control system through the two limit switches starts and stops the driving motor automatically. The machine is made in various models and for maximum strip thickness of 5 mm and width of 2,000 mm.
