4. Cutting and Finishing Once cooled, the plastic pipes are cut to the desired lengths. Automated cutting machines are frequently employed to enhance precision and reduce production time. Additionally, finishing processes such as quality checks, surface treatment, and printing can be integrated into the workflow to ensure that the pipes meet industry standards.
Roller straightening machines are particularly popular in industries dealing with larger and thicker sheets. These machines use two or more rollers to apply pressure along the length of the sheet, gradually reshaping it into a flat plane. This method is often preferred due to its ability to handle heavy materials without compromising their structural integrity. For thinner sheets, mechanical straighteners can provide a more precise solution, utilizing a system of controlled bends and pressure points to achieve the desired flatness.
