Hydraulic powered with internal or external power unit. Machine is designed for necessary tonnage to straighten part, capable of 1 to 500 tons. The Industrial Core Computer is responsible for the straightening process, measuring, stroke adjustment, FFT, and machine high-speed straightening capability. The Operator Interface Computer and Industrial Touchscreen utilize CTC Interact software to provide an interface for machine controls, parameter settings, and data logging. One common software platform.
Part is transferred from straightening station.
Parameters include comparison measurement, FFT for rough or oval parts, and automatic update to account for variations in centers, surface, and heat treating. Part uniformity will improve cycle time, maintaining the tooling and straightening station equipment will keep cycle times consistent, and the base control platform will have some affect on the general cycle time.
