Monotech Engineers Pvt. Ltd. supplies an electro‑mechanical straightening solution engineered to remove coil set, cross‑bow, and waviness from scrap sheets, strips, and blanks, restoring flatness for cutting, forming, or re‑rolling with repeatable accuracy and low marking. A rugged welded frame, precision‑ground and hardened work rolls, and servo/VFD‑guided adjustments deliver consistent flatness across mixed gauges while safeguarding sensitive surfaces during corrective bending beyond yield for true leveling. Available for strip widths from 300–1600 mm and thickness ranges from 0.6–8 mm (MS), with custom variants for stainless and high‑strength materials; the system integrates seamlessly with decoilers, feeders, and shears to form a complete, high‑uptime line.
Design &
Construction
Drive system: Electro‑mechanical main drive with helical gearbox and VFD speed control ensures stable torque, smooth acceleration, and constant surface speed under load for a clean, skid‑free pass.
Backup support: Multi‑row backup bearings limit roll deflection on thicker or work‑hardened scrap, maintaining uniform correction across the strip width and preventing center sag that can induce edge waves.
Adjustment: Motorized top‑roll bank with digital position read‑outs uses wedge/jack or screw actuators, including left‑right independent crown compensation for precise, recipe‑driven penetration.
Frame: Stress‑relieved, heavy‑plate welded structure with deep cross‑members minimizes vibration to stabilize leveling forces and roll engagement over long duty cycles.
Controls: Operator panel or PLC/HMI provides speed setpoints, roll penetration set/recipe, load/current display, jog/auto, and fully interlocked E‑stops to streamline setup and ensure safety.
What Makes Our Design Unique?
Precision penetration control: Encoder‑guided roll gap with crown compensation achieves true flatness by yielding the correct surface bands through thickness, minimizing residual stress across mixed gauges.
Surface protection: Fine‑finish, hardened rolls with optional chrome reduce print‑through on painted or coated scrap when paired with optimized penetration per material yield.
High rigidity: Reinforced frame and backup bearings resist roll bending so correction is uniform across width, improving downstream cutting and forming quality.
Low maintenance: Electro‑mechanical actuation, centralized lubrication, and sealed bearings are specified for dusty yards to extend service intervals and reduce total cost of ownership.
Key Features &
Accessories
Performance‑driven productivity
VFD: Wide speed range with VFD covers thin to thick gauges; soft start and anti‑skid synchronization with pinch rolls maintain traction and surface quality.
Recipe memory: Save penetration, speed, and crown profiles to accelerate changeovers and preserve flatness consistency across material families.
Quality tools: Entry edge guides, exit leveling gauges, and inline flatness checks support repeatable results by verifying shape after springback.
Safety: Two‑hand jog, emergency rope along the strip path, interlocked guards, and overload/current protection reduce operational risk without slowing throughput.
Optional accessories
Line integration: Add decoiler, loop control, servo feeder, flying or guillotine shear, and stacking table to create a cut‑to‑length line tailored to material mix and takt time.
Quick‑change cassette: Removable work‑roll cartridge shortens maintenance windows and enables fast roll‑set swaps for different thickness windows.
Roll finishes: Super‑finish/chrome rolls and polyurethane‑covered pinch rolls protect sensitive coatings and reduce cosmetic rework.
Automatic flatness control: Laser or roller feedback trims penetration dynamically to counter coil set and cross‑bow variation across and along the strip.
Control & Handling
Swiveling pendant with speed knob: Penetration jog, crown left/right, forward/reverse, load display, and E‑stop; PLC/HMI enables recipes, alarms, and diagnostics.
Guided setup: On‑machine charts map thickness and yield strength to recommended penetration and speed, aligning with best‑practice leveling principles for shape defects.
Training provided: Commissioning, operator SOPs for variable scrap input, and maintenance best practices are supported by Monotech’s manufacturing and service capability.
Training & SOPs: On-site commissioning, safety sessions, operator/maintenance SOPs, and QA documentation templates ensure safe, consistent adoption.
Operator Ergonomics: Intuitive multilingual touch interface with simplified navigation reduces fatigue and error
