Straightening machines - Import export

The straightening machine RM-1000 was developed for straightening deep-hole drills, as 4- and 6-axis version. The radial run-out of a drill is straightened using the 4-axis version. The 6-axis machine additionally corrects the camber of the shank and the head run-out of the soldered carbide drill bits. The maximum length of the drills is 1,000mm, the accuracy of the straightening process is 0.08 mm (depending on the work piece). An exportable straightening protocol is created for each straightening process. A robot cell is available as an option. Using this robot cell, the insertion and removal of the drills is performed. The robot cell is mobile and can be disconnected at any time in order to allow manual straightening processes.

Deformations that are created by utilizing thermal cutting process causes metal materials to lose their flat form. The materials which are cut by a laser, plasma or oxygen cutter that utilize thermal process can become almost impossible to be in a desired flat form again. This is no longer an issue with the new generation leveler technology. Our new generation leveler touches almost every point of the sheet metal material and can smart process. That way, stressed material can be straightened.

Upenders are designed to safely tilt big and heavy coils – either from horizontal into vertical or reversed. This fast and easy coil handling solution gets rid of “adventurous” tilting methods that often will endanger the operator. Chains and other lifting aids which damage the coil rims become obsolete. Upenders allow 90 degrees tilting of coils; Combination machines will also rotate 180 degrees. Both can handle up to 25 tons.

Coil Cradles are made to help unwind coils in rough production environments. Mostly combined with a straightening unit, they work with narrow and thick materials. Built to last, Coil Cradles offer quite a few advantages Simple handling of even hightensile materials with strong clockspring, short setup times, an elaborate coil handling concept which gives a chance to rewind of unfinished coils. By using serial straightening units, type RMA and RMZ, everything is well fitting. To achieve short mounting times and easy accessibility, the complete machine body features a one piece tiebar design machined with most modern CNC equipment. Coil Cradles, CradleStraighteners and CradleFeederStraighteners thus are very efficient too. Consequently, their compactness, efficiency, safety and operator friendliness melt into a coil handling solution which underlines GSW’s lead in technology. Performance data Up to 8 t coil weight, 700 mm stock width and up to 13mm thickness

GSW Roll Feeds Precise and fast positioning with lasting performance. Built with the attributes of parallel adjustment of the top roll, highprecision roll guiding and mechanical stroke limitation for fastest cycles. In combination with most modern motion control systems our Roll Feeds feature a highly reliable production support with dynamic feeding performance of max 30 m/s² acceleration. For smaller crosssections we offer the HSseries Roll Feed model This dynamic and costeffective solution makes the upgrade from gripper feeds to the much more flexible roll feed technology affordable. from coil up to 2000 mm material width and up to 8 mm thickness max crosssection approx. 2000 x 5 mm Vmax approx. 80 200 m/min max cycles with pilot release approx. 100 220 SPM from plate or bar up to 20 mm material thickness

GSW FeederStraighteners, series VRMA are just as simply operated as our Straighteners of the RMA series. With servo drive and length measuring system they offer the additional functionality of material feeding (positioning) over just straightening. Their most common application is cuttolength and spacesaving coil feeding. The already revolutionary alligatorhead can be extended with hydraulic opening for full piloting when feeding into stamping presses with progressive dies. For especially heavygauge materials or high demands in flatness, our VRMZ series FeederStraighteners are the correct answer. They process crosssections as large as 2000 x 5,0 mm. up to 2000 mm material width and 16 mm thickness max crosssection approx.. 2000 x 5 mm or 650 x 10 mm max net output approx. 50 – 150 m/min max cycles with piloting approx.. 40 – 100 SPM

When straightening becomes core competence and strip or parts need to be completely removed of their tension, GSW Precision Straighteners are the answer of choice. They handle up to 2000mm wide and up to 6mm thick materials in strip or plate. Highest stiffness, closest centerdistances and the active driving of all rolls allow for perfect flatness results. Our newest development – the HighPerformance Straighteners, series RMB – answer questions raised thru current material development leading to increasing material strength, lessening thicknesses or the use of sandwich materials Their enormous stiffness, large pinch rolls and closest center distances evenly deliver highest straightening forces. If material surface quality must be fully preserved, the 6high design option is the right choice. Here, intermittent rolls prevent marking caused by the backup rolls and allow for a perfectly clean strip or plate.

High quality, extremely simple operation, unreached price/performance ratio For decades, the GSW Straighteners are valued all over the world. The Straightener with clamshell head (the GSW “AlligatorHead”) came out in 1968 – the RMA series – and today is being built in up to 2000mm width. This machine levels coil set and equals out tension with up to 12mm thick materials. It has given GSW a pioneer’s position in the industry. The RMZ series Straighteners convince where high straightening and pull forces are needed. Its frametype head design provides a high stiffness and elevates this technology to work with high demands in straightening quality – even with highertensile materials.

Special Reels are a longtime part of the GSW lineup Our Horizontal Reels (also called “Pallet Decoilers”) for instance, are helping to unwind lying coiled materials. They are best suited for thin strip which often is loaded together with the carrier pallet. GSW Tilting Reels make sense where normal coil loading is difficult or the materials don’t allow that process. Instead, the coil is loaded horizontally and uncoiled vertically afterwards. Paper Winders help to safely process paper interleaf or film coatings innovative expansion and clamping units help for quick and simple handling. Performance Data up to 3t coil weight and max approx. 2mm thickness max crosssection 300 x 2mm max winding or payoff speeds approx. 20 – 100m/min

Coil Reels with loading capacity on both ends more productivity and shorter setup. While the one arbor is working, the other one takes a new coil.
