Straightening Rolls

The purpose of straightening rolls is to make a bar or tube perfectly straight, removing any imperfections such as deformation and bends, which may occur during the manufacturing process or in service.

Manufacturing processes, such as hot rolling, can often create bows which need straightening out. Deformation may appear on your metal product during the cooling process as the metal cools; alternatively, dents or warps may be more prevalent, or easier to spot once the metal has cooled. These are usually straightened out by cold straightening rolls in a straightening machine.

      FAQs

      There are several ways of straightening tubing. The two most common forms of straightening are bend straightening and pressure straightening.

      Rotary tube straightening refers to where a tube passes through a series of rolls, whilst rotating, in order to be straightened.

      Pressure Straightening - this process uses pairs of rolls, whose gap can be adjusted, to force the metal tubing or pipe into shape under high amounts of pressure until it is perfectly straight. There are three different types of pressure straightening: cold bending, hot bending and impact straightening.

      Bend Straightening - again, this process uses pairs of rolls to straighten out improperly constructed tubes or pipes, however, unlike pressure straightening, bend straightening forces the tube along a bending path under pressure. This pushes the material past its yield and allows spring back, which encourages straightness.
