By gripping the surface (41), it can be rotated around the z-axis (z) and this 15 The rotational movement adjusts the angular position of the profile in the straightening device. It makes it possible. The transmission surface (41) is opened in the form of a concave channel towards the center of the rotating element (40), It is a structure that extends inwards along the radius (See Figure 1). Thanks to this structure, both 20 a compact layout is obtained, as well as the gear area (32) of the drive element (30) By ensuring a secure grip, the rotating element (40) moves in a controlled manner around the z-axis (z).

Another 8 in other words, bending, torsion, or axial deflection that the profile is subjected to during the production process. geometric distortions are eliminated as the profile progresses along the line. It is an active corrective element that provides guidance and alignment. It includes at least one profile groove (61) to carry out this alignment. The aforementioned 5 The profile groove (61) is a cavity that has the cross-sectional geometry of the formed profile. In other words It is the same as the geometry of the profile. Therefore, the axial linearity coming from the roll forming machine is the same. When the non-existent profile passes through this groove, the edges of the profile groove (61) come into contact with the profile. It is straightened by plastic deformation. The straightener (60) is mentioned To prevent damage (scratching, etc.) to the profile due to contact, use kestamit 10. It is manufactured from the material. The profile straightening device (1) is linear on the x and y axes (y) and on the z axis (z) Because it is capable of rotational movement, profiles with different cross-sections can be rectified using the same rectifier. (60) to ensure that the profile groove (61) is aligned by means of more than one 15 It is possible. In other words, the surface of the rectifier (60) containing the profile groove (61), the surface It can contain profile grooves (61) in different forms as much as the area allows. Therefore The three-axis movement adjustment of the profile straightening device (1) is also based on the roll form line. different profiles ensure that the profile is aligned with the desired profile groove (61) Straightening products with geometries, any constructive 20 on the system This can be achieved solely through the use of adjustment mechanisms, without any modifications. The fact that the rectifier (60) is made of kestamit material, on the profile surface It helps prevent potential scratches and surface damage. Especially... During the straightening of precision-faced profiles such as stainless steel, metal-to-metal contact is required at 25°C. Kestamite material, which has a lower coefficient of friction compared to other materials, allows the surface to... It allows for alignment without distortion. In addition, thanks to the high machinability of kestamide, it is suitable for different profile cross-sections. Rectifiers (60) can be easily manufactured and the system can be 30 by simply changing this part. It can quickly adapt to various profile types. Thanks to this structure, the straightening device (1) offers a modular and economical use, without changing the entire construction. without the need to change the kestamit rectifier (60) to switch to different sizes. It is possible. 35 9 In the preferred configuration, the rectifier (60) is connected to the housing (20) by means of the connecting piece (50). It is connected. However, it is obvious that it can also be connected directly to the fuselage (20). Therefore, it is connected in a detachable manner with the connecting piece (50). In light of all that has been explained, the invention works as follows: The product comes out of the roll forming line and 5 The profile that needs to be straightened is from the inlet area (1) of the straightening device to the device (G). It is progressing. The profile must align with the kestamit rectifier (60) which will straighten the profile. To ensure accuracy, the following adjustments are made on the x, y and z axes (z): Guide (10), base (70) It is moved along the path (71) on the x-axis (x) to the appropriate position. The movement of the guide (10) is provided by rotating the shaft from the drive end (31); the shaft rotates 10 The push plate (33) moves forward or backward, the push plate (33) also guides (10) accordingly. It pushes in that direction. Therefore, the body (20) connected with the guide (10), and the kestamit connected with the body (20). The rectifier (60) is also in the appropriate position. After the guide (10) is brought to the appropriate position, the body (20) protrusion inside the guide (10) 15 (11) and thanks to the corresponding groove structure in the body (20) it can be up and down along the y-axis (y). It is moved. This movement is achieved by means of a second shaft passing through the upper surface of the guide (10). It is performed. By rotating the shaft, the body (20) is made of kestamit according to the height of the profile. The rectifier (60) is positioned. Then, the rotating element (40) located on the body (20) comes into play. element (40) is driven by means of the toothed transmission surface (41) located on its outer circumference. This transmission surface (41) can be made around the rotating element (40) at least one The gear is formed in the section and is designed to provide the rotational movement of the rotating element (40). It includes. A third drive element (30) attached to the housing (20), with a gear drive 25 located on it. region (32) interacts with this transmission surface (41). From the drive end (31) By rotating this shaft, it transmits mechanical force to the transmission surface (41) of the rotating element. (40) rotates around the z-axis (z). Thus, the connection that is connected to the rotating element (40) part (50) and the connected kestamit rectifier (60) will pass through the profile groove (61) The angular position of the profile is adjustable. 30 At this point, the rectifier (60) is in the correct position. Profile, rectifier (60) from the profile groove of the part made of kestamit material which serves as (61) is passed through. During this process, the profile is supported with controlled contact from the edges and throughout the production process. Axial deviations, bending, or torsions that have occurred are eliminated. Thanks to Kestamit material, 35 The profile surface is aligned without scratching or deformation. If profiles with different cross-sectional geometries are to be straightened, they are placed on the straightener (60). It is sufficient to switch to another suitable profile groove (61). This switch is only for x, y and z This is achieved by changing the adjustment mechanisms on the axes (z). Any Without the need for structural changes, the system can be quickly and efficiently converted to different profiles. It completes the straightening process by adapting. 5 Therefore, the profile straightening device (1) is integrated into the end of the production line to straighten the profiles. geometric changes such as bending, torsion, and axial deflection that may occur during production It can effectively eliminate distortions. In other words, the profile straightening device (1), The shaped profiles must be on the same axis along their entire length. 10 It provides. The device can perform linear movement in the x and y axes (y) and rotational movement in the z axis (z). Thanks to this, profiles with different cross-sectional geometries can be made with a single rectifier (60). It can be aligned. Thanks to its three-axis adjustability, the system can be adjusted in just 15 axes. It becomes adaptable to various profile types through mechanical adjustments, thus This provides flexibility in use without the need for any structural changes. It increases production continuity and minimizes setup times. The fact that the rectifier (60) is made of kestamit material, the profiles with precision surfaces 20 It allows for straightening without scratching. Kestamide's low coefficient of friction and Wear resistance ensures the preservation of surface quality during the straightening process. In addition, thanks to the high machinability of kestamide, it is suitable for different profile cross-sections. Rectifiers (60) can be easily manufactured and, if necessary, only the rectifier part By changing it, the system can be adapted to different product types.
