8 Strip straightening and part levelling More and more often the punching industry uses a motorized strip straightener in front of the press. Straightening conserves tools thereby producing more accurate components. As the strip is fed over the loop into the roller feed without any pulling force, higher production rates can be achieved. Part levellers can be used with lasers. The parts cut out by laser must often be straightened afterwards. SOPREM has acquired the Schubert-straightening-program and offers a wide product range. Straightening tests: Tests are carried out prior to any machine purchase, we determine the correct straightener size and the most suitable straightening geometry.

10 Strip decoiling, straightening and feeding If there is insufficient space in your workshop, you will find the solution in the compact design of SOPREM equipment. We combine the decoiler with the straightener to a strip feeding system. Optionally the straightener can be equipped with an integrated feed. This compact design allows you to easily incorporate the equipment in a cut-to-length line or in a strip feeding system. The loop between the straighter and the press is not necessary in this system. The compact designs of SOPREM equipment are becoming more and more popular, as they allow optimum use of production space.

12 Strip welding and strip accumulating Strip feeding lines and strip accumulators are necessary because of the high production requirements in compound pipe production. Non-stop production places the highest demands on the reliability of the strip accumulator and the welding unit. If the first strip end welding fails, the strip accumulator needs to have sufficient material for the second weld. SOPREM builds this equipment to highest quality standards meeting all the requirements of a 24 / 7 non-stop production.

14 Wire decoiling, straightening and cut to length Modern production companies automate wire feedings with decoilers, straightening-feeding systems and cut-to-length lines. While decoiling larger diameter wires used in the production of connecting elements, the wire spring back must be compensated for. For this, we recommend the decoiler with loop arm and spring compensation system. Wires with a very thin diameter, used in the production of small draft or compression springs, loop controls with very low wire loads are necessary. SOPREM can supply wire decoilers equipment for both requirement producing improved productivity.
