The MSI MS700S Mandrel Straightening Equipment recycles bent or bowed mandrels through an automated straightening process. The straightener utilizes a pick and place handling system capable of picking a single mandrel from a bin and automatically running it through the straightening process to be placed in the output tube upon completion. The MS700S has been configured for use with bare and coated stainless steel mandrels of various diameters and lengths with no need for tooling change.
The Mandrel Straightening Equipment features a touch screen interface and servo motor driven motion. The PLC control system allows for easy recipe setup, product change over, and precise control of the straightening process. Mechanical setup of the MS700S is recipe driven and automatically configured based on processparameters for any given mandrel diameter.
