4. Water Jet Cutting This environmentally friendly method uses a high-pressure jet of water, often mixed with abrasive materials, to cut through metals. Water jet cutting is particularly advantageous for thin materials and delicate designs, as it produces no heat-affected zones and minimizes warping.
2. Hydraulic Systems Many flat straightening machines utilize hydraulic systems that provide adjustable force to the rollers. These systems allow operators to fine-tune the pressure applied, which is crucial for handling different materials and achieving precise straightening without damaging the metal.
