adjustment on all top rolls and number 2, 3 and 4 bottom rolls. This allows the straightening machine to apply a more gentle deflection to the tube by deflecting or bending the material over three or four roll centre distances, instead of two as on the six-roll machine. This design results in the straightening operation having a minimum effect on the physical and mechanical properties of the material, which is important when operating in the production of these products. The straightening installation will be controlled by Bronx/Taylor-Wilson’s patented Compass computer-aided setting system, which uses the latest industrial electrical and electronic technology to provide high quality products and throughput capacity. The added benefit of the Compass system is that machine set-up times for a size change are reduced to less than three minutes. The data collection and storage of the Compass system is vital to the producer and end- user when processing such sensitive and critical components. Bronx/Taylor-Wilson – USA Fax: +1 330 244 1961

all other components. The machines are operated by easily visible dial type indicators with simple initial machine setting.

ITL, India, is the manufacturer of tube straightening machines, with solutions to straightening problems for both domestic and international markets. Available as 6, 10 and 14 roll versions, these tube straightening machines are designed and manufactured for ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The straightening machines offer a range of features including accuracies of 1 in 1,000, 1 in 3,000 and 1 in 5,000 respectively for 6, 10 and 14 rolls. The straighteners are available in a wide range from 3mm to 203mm, with single speed, duel speed and stepless speed variations. A high speed of 120m per minute is easily achievable. The straightening is undertaken without any marking on the tube ID or OD, ensuring a very good finish and imparting skin hardness to the tube. The tube straightening machines are constructed with a fully stress relieved, fabricated frame. Work rolls are made from HcHcR steel, which is hardened for longer life. Rolls are mounted with anti-friction spherical roller bearing technology and the entire roller mechanism is independent of
