Forstner STRAIGHT
Forstner STRAIGHT Cut to Length are robust, multifunctional machines designed to straighten and cut sheet metal from coils of various thicknesses. Equipped with six strong straightening rollers made of 42CrMo4 polished steel, they effectively eliminate “coil memory.” The position of the rollers is easily adjusted with locking handles and a guide scale.

Infeed Table
The infeed table has four ball-bearing rollers that guide the sheet metal to the infeed rollers. Thanks to the ball bearings, the sheet metal can be fed forward and backward without the risk of damaging the edges. They also help keep the material parallel and ensure perpendicular cuts.
Straightening Rollers
Forstner’s STRAIGHT is equipped with six straightening rollers that eliminate “coil memory” and consistently deliver flat sheets. The rollers are made of polished steel with a diameter of 70 mm. The pressure on the rollers is adjusted manually with locking handles equipped with scales.
Control System S1
S1 control system with touchscreen and intuitive functions. It is easy to program different quantities and lengths. The control system communicates with an electronic eye and automatically sets the zero point and performs a perpendicular clean cut. The control system has a material-saving function that stops the machine, raises the slitting knives, and feeds the sheet forward to the shear. An optional wireless remote control can operate a motorized decoiler or recoiler.
Infeed Guide
The rollers of the infeed guide are angled to match the loop of the material from a decoiler. This prevents damage and creases to softer materials such as copper, aluminum, and zinc.
OPTION
Film applicator
The film applicator can basically be mounted on any table. Using the deflection rollers and the fully rubberized feed rollers, the protective film is pressed on almost bubble and wrinkle-free. The device type F-AG z2mo has an additional arm with tension spring for tensioning the film during the return movement. This design is only applicable for single decoiling systems.
OPTION
Table with roller
The coil guide is an important component for the function and accuracy of every system. The table has a fixed and a manually adjustable coil guide with ball bearings. The adjustment of the movable coil guide is done by a hand wheel. This specific table has rollers integrated in the table to ensure a smooth surface.
OPTION
Decoiler units
Choose from a simple cradle up to motorized versions. Read more under respectively product.
OPTION
Foot switch
Add a foot switch to your STRAIGHT for external start of the next order.
OPTION
Straightening shafts hard chrome plated
For more demanding applications and a longer life span we recommend the hard chromed shafts on the straightener.
OPTION
Manual coil selector
The manual coilselector is a very cost-effective solution for quick and easy manual sheet metal changes. Up to eight coils are fixed in the manual coilselector. The desired sheet metal is manually pushed into the downstream machine via a handwheel.
OPTION
Fully rubberized pinch rollers
If you want to prepare your line for a film applicator, then the option with the fully rubberized rollers is ideal for you. This means that your line is ideally prepared for retrofitting a film applicator at any time and with ease. Fully rubberized pinch rollers available in both 1250 and 1500 mm.
OPTION
Recoiler
With this recoiler, slits or wide strips can be easily recoiled. The coils are wound tightly to a diameter of 508 mm and an optically clean coil is produced after wrapping and removal. The recoiler has a dancer arm, separating discs, a pneumatic felt brake, a motor and a hydraulic mandrel.
OPTION
Roller shear for stainless steel
Upgrade the rolller shear for cutting stainless steel. Available in both 1250 and 1500 mm.
OPTION
Guillotine shear for stainless steel
Upgrade the guillotine shear for cutting stainless steel. Available in both 1250 and 1500 mm.
OPTION
Speed upgrade
The standard speed of COMPACT Series is 25 m/min. You can upgrade the speed to 35 m/min or 45 m/min.
Film Application
Film application equipment can essentially be mounted on all our infeed tables. Thanks to support rollers and rubberized feed rollers, the film is pressed onto the sheet metal without the risk of bubbles or wrinkles. The F-AG z2mo module has an extra arm with a tension spring that tightens the film during the return motion. This design is only applicable to systems with one decoiler.
