SHUSTER-Mettler Corp, a manufacturer of tube, wire and shaped stock straighteners, has developed a series of self-feeding, high speed straighteners to straighten tubing in-line or from coils. The Shuster models 2GRS, 3GRS, 4GRS, and 5GRS gear driven tube and bar straighteners do not rotate the material during the straightening process, but use eight vertical rolls and eight horizontal rolls to straighten and feed the tubing. The four straightener models cover thin wall tubing in sizes from 3.2 to 76mm (0.125" to 3") OD. The straighteners can be manufactured for speed ranges to meet the customer’s requirements, up to a maximum production rate of 300m/min (1,000ft/min). Machines can also be manufactured to customer- specified pass-line height. For continuous straightening, single motor and an AC inverter drive is used on all GRS machines. A servo drive is also available on these machines, for feeding precise lengths into a press or other inline equipment. Shuster-Mettler also manufactures a complete line of non-powered, two-plane

roll-type tube straighteners. 21 models are available, covering thin wall tubing sizes from 1.1 to 47.7mm (0.045" to 1.875") OD.
