Shaft Straightening Press

Designed for initial straightening of tube prior to welding. Includes heavy-duty C-frame 25 ton press and two lift-off jacks which are mounted to a steel rail allowing movement in a lateral direction. The press is two-stage, hydraulic, hand operated.With the heat method, heat from a torch is applied (sometimes in combination with peening) to straighten it. The mechanical method uses a press that is applied to straighten the shaft to a more reasonable value, and then peening and/or heating may still be applied to fine tune it to within the allowable values.A hydraulic straightening press can be used to straighten shafts, plates, and large weldments. Nevertheless, since large weldments can either be warped or deformed by the heat produced during the welding process, it is advisable to straighten these weldments before you continue with the secondary production process.
