Himalaya - Plate Straightening Machine
Himalaya Plate straightening machines are extremely efficient, work with great accuracy & reliability, and are easy to operate and maintain. Our machines deliver a multi-fold advantage to your fabrication infrastructure - a remarkably efficient and lasting performance, an unbeatable straightening precision, reduced capital expenditure, and lower ongoing operational and maintenance costs.
Main components of the `Himalaya` plate straightening machines are fabricated machine body with the roll system and the driving gears.
Body housings are rigid and made from welded steel plate construction which is resistant to torsion even under peak loads in continuous service.
The upper part of the body contains the drive system for the vertical adjustment, the upper straightening rolls and the two auxiliary (side) rolls.
All transverse forces are absorbed by guides built into the upper and lower part of the body.
The roll system consists of 5/4/3 upper and 4/3/2 lower straightening rolls and the two auxiliary (side) rolls. The two auxiliary rolls, one of them arranged at the entry side and another at the exit side in the top part of the machine body, can be vertically adjusted independent of each other. They are well supported (against backlash), even when thin plates requiring correspondingly low straightening force are being processed.
The upper roll system is brought into working position by reversible induction motors. The reversing motors similarly mounted on the drive side of the machine effect the adjustment ofthe two side rolls.
Distance between the upper edge of the lower roll and the lower edge of the upper roll is indicated on the dials mounted at the non-driving side of the machine. The degree of adjustment of side rolls is also indicated on two dials at the feed side of the machine. The adjusting ranges of the upper roll system and of the auxiliary rolls are limited by limit switches.
The main drive is effected by a reversible induction motor. The transmission to the spur gears is through a heavy coupling. All high speed shafts including the spur gears are mounted in anti-friction bearings.
Straightening Accuracy within ± 1 mm per meter for maximum rated capacity of the machine.
Our machines are operated by PLC control panels that increase the operational speed while reducing operator fatigue. This leads to better output even with lower operator skills.
Our machines are designed with safety in mind.
- Built-in mechanical overload protection at the Main Drive
- When the main drive is ON, the up and down movements of upper rollers is not permitted.
- Overload relays and fuses in electrical circuit
- Fail safe Electromagnetic brake for stopping of machine
Semi centralized automatic timer controlled lubrication system.
