a) At the completion of welding BOX/ I / H Beam production, there are 2 major types of deformation happened on these workpieces;
b) These deformations are caused from SAW/ GMAW welding heat input, and should be corrected with corresponding structures of I H Beam Straightening Machine, so that workpieces BOX/ I / H Beams can be eligible for next step processing:
1) Besides H Beam, this pressing form I H Beam Straightening Machine can be used for straightening all kinds of structure members with square or rectangular cross section;
2) The typical ones include: Section Steel/ BOX Beam/ Cross Beam, etc.;
3) In All, BOX H Beam Longitudinal Straightening Machine is a kind of very important Steel Structure Straightening Machine, applied extensively in Steel Structure Industry.
1) During work, workpiece is laid on straightening pressing unit of the BOX H Beam Longitudinal Straightening Machine, its longitudinal direction deformation will be got straightened segment by segment along whole length;
2) Such straightening action is performed under the drive of hydraulic oil cylinder;
1) Heavy and reliable straightening force;
2) Precise and manageable straightening stroke control;
3) Safe and easy operation;
4) High productivity;
4. Summary on general advantages of this machine is demonstrated in Slides page “Review on Wuxi JACK I H Beam Straightening Machine”.
The Lefthand Scrolling Photos: Functions units of Wuxi JACK BOX H Beam Horizontal Press Straightening Machine
1. Calculation on Max. pressing tonnage necessary for straightening designated specification of workpiece: The standard Max. output pressing force in standard models of the BOX H Beam Longitudinal Straightening Machine is from 20 Ton to 300 Ton;
2. Make general layout of steel structure BOX H Beam Horizontal Press Straightening Machine, based on customer facility surroundings;
3. Make process route for producing and validating BOX H Beam Longitudinal Straightening Machine;
4. Have machining on core acting elements, including pressing head/ Oil cylinder and its guiding bush/ Ejectors/ Main beds/ Pressing beam, etc.;
5. Make sub assembly and final assembly on all the above main units of the BOX H Beam Longitudinal Straightening Machine, control it within stipulated tolerance.
1) Different from Flange I H Beam Straightening Machine, which gives direct indication on available material and thickness of H Beam for straightening;
2) In HJ series BOX H Beam Longitudinal Straightening Machine, model and related specification are mainly on the basis of max. delivered straightening tonnage;
Below is rule of thumb on applicable specifications of H Beam that corresponds with every standard model of the HJ Series BOX H Beam Longitudinal Straightening Machine:
Model of H Beam Longitudinal Straightening Machine | Max. Output Pressing Force | Max. Applicable Welding H Beam Specification | |||
Web Height | Web Thickness | Flange Width | Flange Thickness | ||
HJ20 | 20 Ton | 400 | 10 | 200 | 12 |
HJ100 | 100 Ton | 500 | 12 | 400 | 20 |
HJ200 | 200 Ton | 600 | 30 | 500 | 35 |
HJ300 | 300 Ton | 800 | 32 | 600 | 40 |
You can check it together with the 2nd to 4th physical photos of the machine main frame:
1. General Steps: The workpiece is straightened in BOX H Beam Longitudinal Straightening Machine segment by segment, each segment has adjustable length of 1500 mm to 2000 mm;
2. For straightening current segment, the H Beam is pressed against pressing beam of the BOX H Beam Horizontal Press Straightening Machine, with Point 1 and Point 2 (Please check the 1st sketch and 2nd photo) as touching points;
3. The other side of the H Beam is pressed on Point 3 (As indicated in the 1st sketch and 2nd / 3rd photos) by means of a piece of pressing head, which is driven with a piece of oil cylinder guided with bushing;
4. In other words, during operation of the BOX H Beam Longitudinal Straightening Machine, point 1 and point 2 are fixed points for holding H Beam, and point 3 is for acting and applying straightening force within the stroke of 700 mm;
5. Straightening Theory: In this respect, we can say that BOX H Beam Longitudinal Straightening Machine works in the theory of "Three Points Subjected to Force";
6. Workpiece Release: The 2 pieces of ejectors with 1335 mm distance apart (The 2nd photo, point 4 and 5) are for pushing the workpiece away every time at the completion of straightening, going thru the BOX H Beam Horizontal Press Straightening Machine;
7. Workpiece Sending Way: Upon completion of current segment straightening, the H Beam can be pushed forward by hand, and begin on next segment of straightening. This is the reason that, in HJ series BOX H Beam Longitudinal Straightening Machine, both input and output conveyors are idle type, without motor drive.
The H Beam clamp/ pressing head forward and retreating can all be managed with this pendant;
1) To precisely control forward stroke of the pressing head, which is the most critical process control parameter of the BOX H Beam Longitudinal Straightening Machine;
2) There is a piece of indicating ruler right above the pressing head and oil cylinder;
1) Depending on specifications of workpiece to be straightened, the distance between the 2 pressure points: Point 1 and point 2 can be adjusted within the range of around 1500 mm to 2000 mm;
2) This depends on specific design of the BOX H Beam Longitudinal Straightening Machine each time, here just as a rough guide, along guiding slot of the pressing beam, and secured firmly;
1) Its control board and operating panel are integrated onto main frame of the machine;
2) The larger models (HJ100 / HJ200, and HJ300 BOX H Beam Longitudinal Straightening Machine usually have separately installation of control board and operating panel.
Below is on site arrangement of Wuxi JACK HJ300 (Max. 300 Ton straightening force) BOX H Beam Longitudinal Straightening Machine.
We can see that:
1) Total length of the HJ300 H Beam Straightening Machine is slight longer than 22m;
2) The suggested width for machine land occupation is 7m;
3) Height of input and output conveyors top surface is 720 mm;
4) Hydraulic station and control board of the HJ300 BOX H Beam Horizontal Press Straightening Machine should be put alongside its main body, or working table;
5) Height of straightening unit in the HJ300 BOX H Beam Longitudinal Straightening Machine is around 1400 mm, applicable for height of adult operator, good for ergonomics standard.
A set of Wuxi JACK HJ Model BOX H Beam Longitudinal Straightening Machine is mainly composed of:
1. The standard models of the HJ series H Beam Horizontal Press Straightening Machine are HJ20, and HJ100, and HJ200, and HJ300, which are distinguished on the basis of max. generated pressing force for straightening;
Standard Model of H Beam Longitudinal Straightening Machine | HJ20 / HJ100/ HJ200 / HJ300 |
Max. Output Pressing Force | 20/ 100/ 200/ 300 Ton |
Oil Cylinder Diameter | 400 mm |
Rod Diameter | 320 mm |
Oil Cylinder and Pressing Head Stroke | 700~ 800 mm |
Hydraulic Driving Motor | 3/ 7.5/ 11/ 22 kW |

1) Using Volume: This machine does not have as large volume of application as Flange H Beam Straightening Machine, which is a requisite equipment in any of the I H Beam Production Line;
2) Wide Use: On the other hand, BOX H Beam Longitudinal Straightening Machine is not confined to H Beam Production use. As we introduced earlier in this page, this special H Beam Straightening Machine can be used on straightening lengthways deformation of all working parts with regular cross section. So, it can be applied in other Steel Structure line, such as BOX Beam Production Line;
1) One of the equipment which is often worked together with BOX H Beam Horizontal Press Straightening Machine is H Beam 3 in 1 Fabrication Machine (H Beam 3 in 1 Assembly Welding Straightening Integral Machine), which produces light to medium duty welding H Beam with single set of equipment, that sometimes the finished H Beam need to be straightened along its length direction;
2) The other equipment often deployed with BOX H Beam Longitudinal Straightening Machine is BOX H Beam End Face Milling Machine. These 2 machines have the same wide range of applicable workpieces.
