•2 entry pinch rolls

•Work rolls are hardened (58/60 HRC) and ground solid steel

•6 lower work rolls are driven

•Gears bathed in oil

•Idler gear shafts supported on both ends

•AC motor variable frequency drive

•Speed regulation by sonar loop control for synchronised strip speed with feeder

•Straightener head opens approximately 8 inches for threading and cleaning

•Work roll depth powered by hydraulic motors with digital roll position indicators
