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.
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.
