1. Type and Technology As mentioned, different welding techniques necessitate different machinery. For example, a simple MIG welder will generally be less expensive than a high-end TIG or multi-process machine capable of handling various welding tasks. The underlying technology, such as inverter-based systems which are lighter and more energy-efficient, can also impact the price.
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.
