Service

How2Straight is a web based service, which uses unit libraries containing information about the needed roll positions to produce straight steel wire having a round cross-sectional geometry. How2Straight calculates and visualizes the roll adjustment data considering the specified process material properties wire diameter, yield point, modulus of elasticity) and the individual type of straightening unit.

The roll adjustment data is available for discrete, precomputed values of the process material properties. The available input values are accessible without a subscription to the service.

Since the data is based on a simulation, the results give a first approximation on how to best adjust the rolls. Some parameters of the real life setting cannot be accounted for and so further fine-tuning of the results may be required.
