Abstract:
A flat wire distortion removal apparatus capable of contributing to preventing flat wires from being defectively processed is provided. A flat wire distortion removal apparatus according to an aspect of the present disclosure is a flat wire distortion removal apparatus, including a roller leveler configured to obtain parallelism between two side surfaces of the flat wire in a width direction by making the flat wire pass between a pair of rollers. The roller leveler includes a holding part configured to prevent the flat wire from rotating around an axis extending in a length direction of the flat wire.
Abstract:
A straightening device for welding wire is provided with two sets of roll groups, having a plurality of straightening rolls with which bends in a welding wire are straightened by passing the welding wire through the two sets of roll groups. The plurality of straightening rolls configuring the roll groups, are arranged at a predetermined arrangement interval along a passing direction of the welding wire in such a way as to face with each other across a straightening path along which the welding wire passes, and the two sets of roll groups, are arranged so that the directions in which they face across the straightening path are different from each other. By configuring the straightening rolls by small-diameter rollers, adverse effects on the welding wire are suppressed, and the welding wire is straightened finely.
Abstract:
A pressure lock system passes a wire along a wire path from a wire source at a high pressure first region to a destination at a low pressure second region. The pressure lock system includes a pressure lock chamber. A first conduit has an interior positioned to pass the wire along the path and is mounted for rotation. A second conduit has an interior positioned to pass the wire from the pressure lock chamber and is also mounted for rotation. A motor may drive rotation of the first conduit and the second conduit. Pumps may maintain a pressure of the pressure lock chamber lower than a pressure of the first region.
Abstract:
A wire straightener comprises a wire feed path, a first set of rollers disposed in a first plane along the wire feed path, a second set of rollers disposed in a second plane along the wire feed path, the first and second planes being substantially perpendicular to one another, a first motor operable to adjust a position of at least one of the rollers of the first set of rollers when actuated, and a second motor operable to adjust a position of at least one of the rollers of the second set of rollers when actuated.
Abstract:
An assembly for moving wire from one point to a second point distant from the first point. The assembly comprises a first unit comprising a wire straightener and a second unit that moves the wire through the assembly.
Abstract:
A single stage two plane coiled reinforcing bar stock straightener adapted to straighten an infeed of coiled reinforcing bar in both the horizontal and vertical planes for providing the straightened delivery of coil fed reinforcing bar material to processing and converting machinery.
Abstract:
Antirotation method to straighten sections (11), such sections (11) having a solid or hollow cross section and possibly having externally a round or ribbed cross section, or ridges, or else TOR type helicoidal ribbing, or a three-lobed, cross-shaped or star-shaped cross section, etc., and being in the form of bars or coils in a wound bundle (12) and possibly comprising a lengthwise twist, the section (11) being guided by grooves (21) comprises in rolls (18) of processing assemblies (16-17-23) and being made to pass through a guide and prestraightener assembly (16) and through two straightening assemblies (17) before being rendered linear (20) and then finished by a finishing assembly (23), the section (11) being diverted during the straightening step along at least one S-shaped or Z-shaped half-loop (14) and remaining positioned substantially on one single plane until it reaches the finishing assembly (23).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for the straightening of drawn round stock. In conventional straightening methods, the round stock to be straightened is transported through the straightener with the entrance and exit in alignment, being thus straightened. With this procedure, large pieces at the beginning and end of the round stock to be straightened are straightened in an unsatisfactory manner and must therefore often be cut off before further fabrication of the round stock. To remedy this disadvantage it is proposed that for instance the deviation from the straight entry line forcibly obtained in the straightener arc by deflection, is maintained as the exit direction from the arc. To this end each round stock receiving device is oriented or can be oriented behind an exit die at least by its receiving elements in such a way that the round stock leaving the exit die enters such receiving elements or the next die series without appreciable changes of direction.
Abstract:
Method for straightening elongated drawn round stock, which includes simultaneously advancing the stock in the longitudinal direction, rotating the stock about the longitudinal axis thereof and deflecting the stock from a straight line exceeding the yield point thereof in a straightening arc, and subjecting the surface of the stock to friction forces acting in the longitudinal direction during the deflection.
Abstract:
The invention is an improved wire straightener die for rotary wire straightener machines and devices used in the production of wire and wire related products from various metals. Each wire straightener die consists of a single unit which is normally used with four other similar dies in a sequence arrangement. The die of this invention is used in any standard rotating wire straightening arbor. Each die in the sequence contains a hardened center core which increases the life of the die. Each die can be installed in the arbor in any one of four different positions, thus giving complete flexibility of use of the die.
