Application Range and Related Equipment of Angle Steel Straightening Machine 9. Put into Use of Angle Steel Straightening Machine
1. Extensive Use of Angle Steel: The other names of the working parts are: Angle Iron/ Rolled Angle/ L Steel or Angle Bar. It is the most basic and widespread raw material being applied across industries;
2. Logistics Condition: Due to its large volume of consumption, everyday there are huge amounts of Angle Steels being in stock and transported in practical application;
3. Easy to Grow Crooked from Logistics: Because of its long length and small cross section, Angle Steels are prone to grow longitudinal crooked and or twisted during logistics process, bringing negative effectiveness on subsequent operation;
1) Angle Steel Longitudinal Straightening: ASM series Rolled Angle Straightening Machine is for solving this issue. As shown in below photos, varied sizes of rolled Angles can be got straightened effectively, with its passing through working unit of the Angle Steel Straightening Machine;
2) Angle Steel Surface Cleaning: During straightening process, surface of Angle Steels can also be deburred and polished, removing its rust and dirty layer. In this respect, Angle Steel Straightening Machine is a very useful pretreating equipment for steel structure customers:
1) There need lots of manual labor for straightening different specifications of Angle Steels: Operator use hammer to knock on the Angle Steels repeatedly with long time and hard work;
2) Unsatisfactory Straightening Effect: Such manual job is not only time consuming, but also can not guarantee on consistent and controllable straightening effect;
3) Higher Cost: Summing up, it involves fairly large cost on Angle Steel straightening operation;
1) Satisfactory Straightening Performance: Angle Iron Straightening Machine turns the original tedious and low efficient manual work into an automatic efficient operation, guaranteeing consistent and controllable quality output;
2) More Value Added Job of Labor Force: Operators can be relieved from hard and tedious job, and focus on more value added operation. In the era of increasingly scarce and expensive labor trend, Wuxi JACK ASM series Angle Steel Straightening Machine helps customer attaining the best value with the minimum expense:

The Lefthand Scrolling Photos: Function units and components of Wuxi JACK Angle Steel Straightening Machine
Major steps for achieving straightening effect on Angle Steels in Angle Steel Straightening Machine:
1) Both Sides Conveyors: There are conveyors at front and rear ends of Rolled Angle Straightening Machine main frame. The conveyors can be swapped as input or output function at will anytime;
2) Manual Push: In Angle Steel Straightening Machine, both sides of conveyors are idle running. So, after loading workpiece Angle Steels onto conveyors, operator need to push it forward into central working area of the Angle Iron Straightening Machine;
1) Idle Test: First, validate on downward stroke of each straightening roller in the way of idle running;
2) Wuxi JACK Empirical Data: There is rule of thumb on straightening rollers downward strokes accumulated by Wuxi JACK engineering team. We share with customers these precious data, as part of technical documents, when making delivery on each model of Rolled Angle Straightening Machine;
1) Intuitive Operation: Downward stroke of each straightening roller in Angle Steel Straightening Machine can be manipulated individually;
2) Working Lamp: During operation process, there is indicating lamp illuminating on top of the Angle Steel Straightening Machine mechanical main frame.

Here we take Wuxi JACK ASM63 model Angle Steel Straightening Machine as an example to explain:
1) Straightening Rollers Quantity and Distribution: As shown in the above 1st photo, there are 5 pieces of downward acting straightening rollers, and 4 pieces of bottom assembled stationary straightening rollers, in a set of ASM series Angle Iron Straightening Machine;
2) Workpiece Going Through Way: The working parts Angle Steel come into mechanical main frame of the Angle Iron Straightening Machine from its either righthand or lefthand side. Shown in below:
3) Rule of Thumb on Critical Process Parameters: Wuxi JACK has accumulated rich empirical data, on suggested downward stroke of each pieces of the 5 downward acting straightening rollers, for straightening on each specification of Angle steel. This is for acquiring satisfactory operation performance of ASM series Angle Steel Straightening Machine. For example:
4) Satisfactory Straightening Effect: You can find that with the workpiece going forward through central working unit of the Rolled Angle Straightening Machine, it gradually grows flattened. The straightening target on Angle Steel can be attained automatically and effectively.
1) Drive and Transmission: As shown in the above 2nd photo, the downward movement of straightening rollers are transmitted with worm gear reducer, which are installed at top of mechanical main frame of the Rolled Angle Straightening Machine:
a) For models ASM63/ 100/ 130, the power on turning worm gear reducers is made with manual turning handwheels;
b) For models ASM160/ 200, the power on turning worm gear reducers is driven with A.C. motors and reducers.
1) As shown in the above 3rd photo, installed alongside each of the downward acting straightening roller, there is a piece of indicating ruler:
2) At initiation of operation, operator can check actual downward stroke of each of the straightening roller, by means of corresponding ruler of the Rolled Angle Straightening Machine.
1) Finally, as shown in the above 4th photo, the straightening operation on workpiece Angle Steels is implemented in working cell of the ASM models Angle Steel Straightening Machine;
One set of Wuxi JACK ASM model Angle Steel Straightening Machine is composed of 4 main systems of:
1) Motor Drive Through Straightening Cavity: As shown in the above 1st photo. In ASM models Angle Steel Straightening Machine, sending forward of workpiece is driven with A.C. cycloidal motor reducer, and transmitted with chain and sprocket;
2) Sending Together With Straightening: Working parts (Angle steel) moves through straightening cavity, and got straightened simultaneously;
3) Manual Loaded onto Conveyor: Meanwhile, on the conveyors, the workpiece is pushed forward toward straightening cavity by manual job, in conventional models Angle Iron Straightening Machine (Motor drive is available);
4) For safety purpose, chains are covered with steel cover, to avoid operator hands being entangled.
1) Appearance: The above 2nd photo shows lateral side of central working zone: Straightening cavity of the Rolled Angle Straightening Machine;
2) Formation: The pair of downward straightening rollers and bottom rollers form the straightening cavity. With moving forward of Angle steel through this cavity, the Angle steel got flattened out at the same time.
1) As shown in the above 3rd photo. Straightening rollers are critical function element in any set of Angle Steel Straightening Machine;
2) In Wuxi JACK produced Rolled Angle Straightening Machine, these elements are made of Alloy Steel, and treated with strictly managed heat treatment: Surface tempered, and integral quenched, to guarantee its strength and toughness.
1) As shown in the above 4th photo. In ASM series Angle Steel Straightening Machine, input and output conveyors are idle form;
2) There are guiding rollers distributed along the entire length of conveyors, to facilitate Angle steel being pushed forward smoothly.
