Patent Summary
A method for stretch-bend straightening of metal strips that eliminates the need for wet processing by using polyurethane or rubber-coated rollers in a dry straightening system. The rollers are individually supported and can be adjusted independently to achieve precise control over the strip's tension and bending. The coating prevents dirt and oxide particles from adhering to the rollers, eliminating the need for spray media and associated drying and cleaning steps.
