Provided is an electric wire straightening device capable of correcting a twist generated around an axis of an electric wire. An electric wire correcting device includes an electric wire holding part provided rotatably around an axis of the electric wire for holding an electric wire having been withdrawn from an electric wire reel so as to further withdraw the electric wire toward a side opposite to the electric wire reel and, a rotation driving part rotating the electric wire holding part in an twist backing direction opposite to a twist around an axis of the electric wire occurring in the electric wire between the electric wire reel and the electric wire holding part by further withdrawing the electric wire from the electric wire holding part.

Provided is a rolling straightening machine which enables outer-diameter-reducing rolling and straightening rolling of a pipe or tube material or a bar material at high speed with high accuracy. The rolling straightening machine includes at least two rollers arranged across a pass line of a pipe or tube material or a bar material, the at least two rollers having a gap therebetween, the gap being defined by an outer-diameter-reducing rolling portion having a diameter reduced from an upstream side toward a downstream side in the rolling straightening machine and a straightening rolling portion continuous from an exit side of the outer-diameter-reducing rolling portion toward a downstream side of the rolling straightening machine, the rollers having shapes which are symmetrical about the pass line in the outer-diameter-reducing rolling portion, and in the straightening rolling portion, asymmetrical to the pass line in the outer-diameter-reducing rolling portion.

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.

A cable straightening device includes a plurality of cable straightening units connected in series. Each of the cable straightening units includes a base, a pair of rows of rollers mounted on the base and cooperating with each other to define a pressing path extending in a row direction, and a mounting frame disposed on at least one end of a pair of opposite ends of the base in the row direction. A cable is pressed by the rows of rollers while passing through the pressing path. Any two adjacent cable straightening units are assembled together at the mounting frame of each so that center lines of the pressing paths of two adjacent cable straightening units are aligned with each other.
