Another important consideration in the operation of sheet metal straightening machines is the material being processed. Different metals have varying properties, such as tensile strength and ductility, which can affect the straightening process. Therefore, operators must have an in-depth understanding of these properties and adjust their techniques accordingly to avoid damaging the sheets. By mastering these variables, manufacturers can optimize their straightening operations and achieve high-quality results.
Klipping, på den annen side, er en complementær prosess til stansing. Hydrauliske klipper benyttes for å kutte metallplater i ønsket størrelse og form. Ved å bruke kraftige hydrauliske sylindre kan disse maskinene kutte gjennom tykke materialer med minimal innsats. Dette gjør dem ideelle for bransjer hvor det er behov for store volumer av kuttede deler, som i bilindustrien eller byggevareindustrien.
