Straightening with a straightening press
Precise shape correction through controlled bending
When straightening with a hydraulic straightening press, shape and dimensional deviations in metal components are specifically corrected. Both round and flat stock can be restored to the required tolerances with a high degree of accuracy.
The straightening process involves controlled bending at specific points on the workpiece. The straightening press applies targeted force to correct the existing distortion without subjecting the component to unnecessary stress. This method ensures reproducible results and excellent dimensional accuracy.
Straightening using a straightening press is particularly suitable for components where thermal straightening methods are not required or desired, and represents a gentle method of correcting distortions. It can be used both as a standalone manufacturing step and to prepare components for further machining or heat treatment processes.

Your Questions, Answered
We have compiled a list of frequently asked questions to help you better understand our services.
What is straightening with a straightening press?
When straightening with a straightening press, components are restored to their intended shape through targeted pressure and controlled bending.
Which materials can be straightened?
The straightening press can be used to straighten both round and flat materials. The process is suitable for a wide variety of metallic materials.
Does the straightening process alter the material?
Straightening with a straightening press is performed without the application of heat. The material properties are generally preserved, as the process involves only mechanical action.
When is a straightening press used?
A straightening press is used when components exhibit dimensional or geometric deviations that fall outside the permissible tolerances following manufacturing, machining, or heat treatment.
Can adjudication be part of an overall process?
Yes, straightening with a straightening press can be easily integrated into existing manufacturing or heat treatment processes, for example as a preparatory or corrective intermediate step.
