Horizontal Press for Straightening Bars and Profiles: A Guide to Precision Straightening

Optimize your production processes with SIMASV® technology: discover how to perform perfect straightening on heavy-duty steel bars.

In the metal fabrication and precision engineering sectors, straightening is a critical operation. Often, bars, plates, and profiles exhibit curvatures or deformations that can compromise subsequent machining processes. The most efficient and versatile solution is the use of a horizontal straightening press, a machine designed to handle high loads with extreme accuracy.

Why choose a horizontal press for straightening?

Unlike vertical presses, the SIMASV® horizontal press offers superior visibility and maneuverability. The horizontal worktable allows operators to support and slide even very long bars with ease, facilitating visual flatness control during every stage of the straightening process.

Case Study: Straightening 150 x 50 mm bars

In this technical video, we demonstrate the power and sensitivity of our T 40 CNC horizontal press. The specific application involves straightening a high-thickness steel bar:

  • Thrust Force: 400 kN to overcome the resistance of the toughest materials.

  • Millimetric Precision: Stroke control allows for precise management of the metal’s “spring-back” effect.

  • Dedicated Tooling: Use of lateral support blocks and a dedicated punch for optimal load distribution.

Advantages of SIMASV® Technology in Metal Straightening

  1. 2-in-1 Versatility: With the same machine, you can switch from profile straightening to bending, punching, or shearing, thanks to the quick tool-change system.

  2. Reliable Made in Italy Engineering: Our presses are built to last, ensuring consistent performance even under continuous heavy-duty use.

  3. User-Friendly Interface: Even for complex straightening operations, the intuitive interface allows the operator to set working parameters in seconds.

Conclusion: Efficiency and Cost Savings

Integrating a horizontal straightening press into your machine park means drastically reducing production waste and downtime. The quality of straightening achieved with SIMASV® machines ensures that every piece meets the highest quality standards required by the international market.
