This means very high wear constraints
on straightening rollers. At the maximum
30,000 RPM, standard steel rollers would
have quickly broken.
The rollers designed by Subec are based
on a sleeve in tungsten carbide in order to
achieve a longer lifetime.
To be included in automated line control,
the straightener is equipped with
pneumatic closing and opening.
Like the opening mechanism, the number
and material of rollers is customisable and
is highly dependent on the straightness
tolerances required.
Subec proposes a whole range of
straighteners covering various types of
product and needs.
This implies regular new constructions and
adaptations which is why there is a high
degree of modularity in the designs.
For cases where the operator has
to handle a diverse range of cable
diameters, other types of straighteners are
recommended where both rows of rollers
open symmetrically from the centre line of
the product.
In that way, the product will always be
in a centred position, no matter what
diameter is running. There is no need
to readjust the straightener on the new
centreline for each product.
The goal is to provide the best-suited
solution for a given product and
application at a competitive pricing.
Important aspects during conception
are, for instance: ease of use, achieving
the required function in an e cient and
controlled manner, and minimising the
setup times.
