Electric Lightning Protection Wire Straightening Machine

Technical data

Product description

The electric straightener has been designed for straightening steel lightning protection wire, but it can also be used for wires or flat bars made of other materials (e.g. copper or aluminium). The device has 9 guide rollers – the more rollers, the longer the section over which the wire is straightened, and so the better the results. Two pairs of upper rollers are independently adjustable, and the large butterfly knobs and reinforced pressure screws allow precise adjustment.

In the electric motor-driven version, the device fully complies with applicable standards and legal regulations, as confirmed by tests carried out by an independent certification body. A written CE declaration of conformity is issued for each drive unit.

Straightening the wire

1) Unscrew the adjusting screws fully so that they do not resist when the wire is inserted.

2) Before inserting the wire into the straightener, straighten its beginning over a length of about 50 cm.

3) Insert the wire between the rollers so that it protrudes about 15 cm beyond the straightener.

4) Tighten the adjusting screws carefully until the wire can be moved using the crank and the wire coming out of the straightener is straight.

5) Use the crank to straighten the required length of wire.
