Select the right wire straightener: Sjogren explains how

Sjogren's experience working with companies in many different industries around the globe has shown that the factors which determine correct wire straightener selection are often misunderstood. For instance, many process engineers are not aware when setting the roller positions in a straightening assembly that less wire deflection frequently yields better results than more deflection.

One of the most detrimental misunderstandings is the very common approach of choosing a straightener strictly on what had been in place previously or in another operation within the same facility. Simply put: many operations simply “go with what we know” instead of fully considering how quality and productivity could be improved by optimal straightener choice.

Here is a brief overview of the factors Sjogren looks at when helping its customers achieve the greatest efficiency and productivity from their wire straightening operation.

1) Incoming parameters of the wire.
2) Wire output parameters.
3) Broader process parameters.
