3. Automation and Sensors The latest advancements in flat straightening machinery feature automation technology. This includes sensors that monitor the surface and curvature of the metal in real time. By employing feedback loops, the machine can make immediate adjustments to ensure optimal straightening. This technology not only improves the quality of the output but also increases operational efficiency.
5. Waterjet Cutting Waterjet cutting uses a high-pressure stream of water mixed with abrasive particles to cut through materials. This method is suitable for a wide range of materials, including metals, plastics, and composites. It produces minimal heat-affected zones, making it ideal for delicate or heat-sensitive projects.
