Straightening presses
SIEMPELKAMP straightening presses combine maximum straightening precision with flexibility for demanding materials.
SIEMPELKAMP straightening presses
Straightening presses are used in the sheet-metal processing industry, where they are employed to straighten semi-finished products for subsequent processing – for example to level irregularities in plates and slabs. SIEMPELKAMP straightening presses offer not only high straightening precision but also a wide straightening range and high flexibility in the further processing of the plates. For materials with a tensile strength of 1,300 N/mm², plates with a thickness of up to approx. 300 mm can be processed.
For this purpose, the presses are equipped with one or more straightening rams that can be moved in a coupled or separate mode. The press force used for straightening is available across the entire press width. The plates can be straightened in cold or hot operation at plate temperatures of up to 600 °C. The selection of straightening parameters such as press force, support spacing, straightening speed, and overbending can be controlled manually and automatically.
