Improvements and modifications to coil steel straighteners provide an integrated structural head that allows for quicker setup of the equipment, integrated lower backup rolls to the structural head, self-aligning rollers, setup timing blocks for equipment calibration, and adjustment screw jacks that allow for narrower center distances and include pointers and scales internally. The backup rollers for each work roller are supported on separate backup roller plates enabling the backup rollers for each work roller to removably installed and independently adjusted. The backup rollers may be supported between opposing blocks and adjusted by moving the blocks toward and away from the backup roller plate using leveling jacks. The work rollers associated with the upper bank may be supported between opposing slide blocks that move up and down in slots formed in opposing side plates, with visual indicators to establish a zero position associated with each work roller in the upper bank.

A method for straightening wire or strip material by a dressing device comprising straightening rollers engaging on opposite sides of the passing-through material in an offset manner, of which, some are automatically activated according to a model which has been stochastically determined on the basis of input data of the material and data relating to the wire and the dressing device that is determined during the passing of the material through the dressing device, such that requirements for straightness are met, wherein the position of at least one straightening roller is continuously adapted on the basis of said data detected during the passage through the dressing device, which data are representative of the target straightness, wherein (i), the size and direction of the forces acting on the straightening rollers and/or (ii) the temperature of the material before and after passing through the assembly of straightening rollers, and/or (iii) the position of the material is measured at each of the straightening rollers and the obtained measurement values are input into the model controlling the adjustment of the adjustable straightening rollers.

Each ridge is provided with a first part and a second part, where the first part is provided with part of first threads, the second part is provided with part of second threads, and a rotation direction of the first threads is opposite to that of the second threads; rotation directions of the first threads are the same, and rotation directions of the second threads are the same; and plurality of ridges are sequentially arranged at intervals in a rotation direction of the roller body, lead angles of the first threads on the first parts are sequentially decreased, and lead angles of the second threads on the second parts are sequentially decreased.

A system and method for removing flatness faults from a metal flat product, in particular a metal sheet or a strip, having multiple straightening rollers arranged on opposite sides of the flat product. In order to simplify and to enable more cost-efficient removal of flatness faults from a metal flat product, at least two cooperating straightening rollers arranged on opposite sides of the flat product each have at least three individually-adjustable partial rollers arranged axially adjacent to one another.

The present invention discloses a dynamic straightening method for a left/right tilt. The method includes: drawing an unevenness curve according to a distance from a shapemeter to a surface of a plate, where there are a plurality of unevenness curves; using a barycentric formula to obtain a first barycentric coordinate of each unevenness curve; calculating a tilt value of a straightening roll corresponding to each unevenness curve according to the first barycentric coordinate of each unevenness curve; determining an unevenness curve of a current straightening roll; adjusting the straightening roll according to the tilt value of the straightening roll corresponding to the unevenness curve, to straighten the plate; and going back to the step of determining an unevenness curve of a current straightening roll until the plate is totally straightened. The present invention improves plate straightening accuracy by dynamically adjusting parameters of the straightening roll.
