Precision straightening is suitable for all types of drive shafts
Straightening is very fast; it requires 2/3 straightening points.
Machine size depends on the section and length of parts. There is a wide variety of workpieces, for type and dimension, and therefore the straightener has to be equipped with dedicate tools, including:
Tubular with enveloping equipment to avoid crushings/indentations
Flange/coupling positioning systems for an automatic part gripping
Optical systems for seeger ring detection
Drive shafts can be loaded manually by the operator or, in order to guarantee maximum productivity, with loading/unloading systems with grips, portals, 6-axis robots, according to customer requirements.
Moreover, the machine is equipped with tooling automatic set-up units. The workpiece traceability system, complete with DMC (data matrix code is becoming even more and more necessary.
