GSW Roll Feeds Precise and fast positioning with lasting performance. Built with the attributes of parallel adjustment of the top roll, highprecision roll guiding and mechanical stroke limitation for fastest cycles. In combination with most modern motion control systems our Roll Feeds feature a highly reliable production support with dynamic feeding performance of max 30 m/s² acceleration. For smaller crosssections we offer the HSseries Roll Feed model This dynamic and costeffective solution makes the upgrade from gripper feeds to the much more flexible roll feed technology affordable. from coil up to 2000 mm material width and up to 8 mm thickness max crosssection approx. 2000 x 5 mm Vmax approx. 80 200 m/min max cycles with pilot release approx. 100 220 SPM from plate or bar up to 20 mm material thickness

Both straightening and (servo) feeding performed in one operation Saves floor space as 2nd loop between standalone straightener and servo feed is eliminated Large entry pinch rollers driven synchronously with all bottom work rollers Great feeding accuracy of +/ 0,1 mm Rollers are kept perfectly parallel with adjustments shown on scales or dial gauges Hardened 63 rockwell rollers with finepolished surface guarantee longevity Warpresistant body in modular design to allow extension with catenary rollers, threading system or loop bridge, etc. Operator interface provides simple insertion or recall of feeding paramenters or memorized programs Hard chromed rollers Polyurethane coated rollers Hydraulic cleaning stroke Hydraulic threading systems in different grades Dial gauges for roller adjustment display Motorized adjustment of straightening rolls Motorized central height adjustment Central edge guide adjustment via handwheel All roll drive

GSW FeederStraighteners, series VRMA are just as simply operated as our Straighteners of the RMA series. With servo drive and length measuring system they offer the additional functionality of material feeding (positioning) over just straightening. Their most common application is cuttolength and spacesaving coil feeding. The already revolutionary alligatorhead can be extended with hydraulic opening for full piloting when feeding into stamping presses with progressive dies. For especially heavygauge materials or high demands in flatness, our VRMZ series FeederStraighteners are the correct answer. They process crosssections as large as 2000 x 5,0 mm. up to 2000 mm material width and 16 mm thickness max crosssection approx.. 2000 x 5 mm or 650 x 10 mm max net output approx. 50 – 150 m/min max cycles with piloting approx.. 40 – 100 SPM

All rollers hardened and finepolished Multiple backup rollers to prevent deflection Specially suitable for highstrength steel applications Parallel adjustment of upper roller bank with tilting via spindle type lifting devices With optional synchronized drive of pinch and work rollers Drive system via transfer gear box and universaljoint shafts with length compensation and quickrelease coupling Warpresistant stand in modular design to allow extension with catenary rollers, threading system, loop bridge or conveyors for operation as partsstraighteners etc. Hard chromed rollers Polyurethane coated rollers Hydraulic threading systems in different grades Motorized adjustment of upper roller bank with optional jobmemory Central edge guide adjustment via handwheel (optionally motorized) All roll drive Extricable and exchangable roller cartidges for easy maintenance Quickthreading feature for universaljoint shafts Movable base Manual or hydraulic loop bridge Conveyor belts... etc.

When straightening becomes core competence and strip or parts need to be completely removed of their tension, GSW Precision Straighteners are the answer of choice. They handle up to 2000mm wide and up to 6mm thick materials in strip or plate. Highest stiffness, closest centerdistances and the active driving of all rolls allow for perfect flatness results. Our newest development – the HighPerformance Straighteners, series RMB – answer questions raised thru current material development leading to increasing material strength, lessening thicknesses or the use of sandwich materials Their enormous stiffness, large pinch rolls and closest center distances evenly deliver highest straightening forces. If material surface quality must be fully preserved, the 6high design option is the right choice. Here, intermittent rolls prevent marking caused by the backup rolls and allow for a perfectly clean strip or plate.

High quality, extremely simple operation, unreached price/performance ratio For decades, the GSW Straighteners are valued all over the world. The Straightener with clamshell head (the GSW “AlligatorHead”) came out in 1968 – the RMA series – and today is being built in up to 2000mm width. This machine levels coil set and equals out tension with up to 12mm thick materials. It has given GSW a pioneer’s position in the industry. The RMZ series Straighteners convince where high straightening and pull forces are needed. Its frametype head design provides a high stiffness and elevates this technology to work with high demands in straightening quality – even with highertensile materials.

Special Reels are a longtime part of the GSW lineup Our Horizontal Reels (also called “Pallet Decoilers”) for instance, are helping to unwind lying coiled materials. They are best suited for thin strip which often is loaded together with the carrier pallet. GSW Tilting Reels make sense where normal coil loading is difficult or the materials don’t allow that process. Instead, the coil is loaded horizontally and uncoiled vertically afterwards. Paper Winders help to safely process paper interleaf or film coatings innovative expansion and clamping units help for quick and simple handling. Performance Data up to 3t coil weight and max approx. 2mm thickness max crosssection 300 x 2mm max winding or payoff speeds approx. 20 – 100m/min
