Witels-Albert, Germany, is involved in the
design and manufacture of an advanced
range of rolls, straightening machines and
associated equipment. This equipment is
used to guide, straighten, preform, postform
and feed process materials.
The company continually aims to address
the constantly evolving production
environments, greater use of automation,
tightly integrated sub-processes, increases
in production speeds, new materials and
advanced business strategies.
The company has a wealth of knowledge
covering all aspects of the straightening
and transportation of process materials
geared to the latest applications.
Witels-Albert aims to use its expertise
to ensure the straightening process is
treated as an independent sub-process,
which is influenced by
upstream and downstream
processes.
The company believes that
pay-off from a reel and
feeding are sub-processes
that can have a positive
or negative impact on the
straightening process.
There are process interfaces
at the feed and delivery
points of a straightening
unit or system, while the
interface parameters can be
objectively identified.
The Witels-Albert range includes the
HS series of high-speed rolls and
straighteners. Technical features include
PO position counters that ensure defined
and reproducible settings for straightening
rolls, and the CS semi-automatic tube
straightener adjustment system.
The CS Easy IV roll straightener, which
is used to process 5-15mm tube, can
generate defined roll settings at the press
of a key.
The company’s customers have to
supply top quality process materials
and products, which can be produced
at the lowest possible cost within tight
tolerances using highly stable processes.
It is therefore vital that guiding, preform,
postform, straightening and feeding
processes are seen as more than
ancillary processes.
