Cradle straighteners offer a safe and simple solution for controlling heavy gauge and high tensile coils. For many years Press Room has offered various solutions to these problem applications. These Combination Cradle/Straightener Units provide for ease in loading.

The material is decoiled from the top and is driven into a slack loop in front of the straightener. A servo feed can be cabinet or press mounted to complete the feed line.

The system comprises of Cradle Unit along with driven Straightener mounted ahead of it. The feature of the system is that as they are mounted on same base structure, the alignment with respect to each other saving space & installation time.

The cradle rolls, straightener pinch rolls and lower straightening rolls are driven by a variable speed drive with loop control. All rolls are Hardened, Ground, and set in anti-friction bearings.

In coil cradle instead of expandable mandrel the coil is placed on driven rollers with adjustable side plates for centring. Coil cradle side plates with flared lead edge are independently adjusted. The side plates are optionally provided with side rollers for prevention of damage in sides for delicate coils.
