Our products

Straighteners, straightening rolls, roller guides, drive units, and accessories for wire, tube, strip, and profile lines.

Straighteners

A wire straightener is a roll-type straightener: straightening rolls in two offset rows bend wire, tube, strip, cable or profile back and forth so its incoming curvature is reduced to a defined final curvature before cutting, forming, welding or coating. Witels Albert offers 32 straightener series and 449 models for 0.1–100 mm (0.004–3.94 in), in configurations from 1 to 14 rolls, all with adjustable rolls and 11 series with quick-closing. The equipment is built in Germany by Witels-Albert GmbH and supported in the US from Branford, CT, where ER straighteners in common sizes are stocked.

Straightening Rolls

Straightening rolls are the bearing-mounted, grooved rolls inside a wire straightener that bend the material and decide how consistently curvature is removed. They are also the straightener's main wear part. Witels Albert supplies 32 roll series and 320 models for material from 0.1 to 60 mm (0.004–2.36 in), with angular grooves (typically 90°, 100° or 110°) for round solid wire, adapted profiles for tube and profile, and smooth rolls for strip. To confirm a replacement fits, send the straightener series and model you run along with your material and dimensions.

Roller Guides

Wire guide rollers, also called roller guides or roller crosses, keep wire, tube, cable, strip and profile centered as it runs between the spool or coil, the straightener and downstream machines. Their bearing-mounted guide rolls support the material without adding plastic deformation, which prevents sagging and protects the surface. Witels Albert offers 29 series and 117 models for sizes up to 500 mm (19.69 in), in 1- to 6-roll configurations, with US stock and support from Branford, CT.

Drive Units

Drive units, also called feeders, clamp material between pairs of driven rolls or caterpillar belts and use motor power to pull or push it through a processing line at a controlled, consistent speed. Witels Albert offers 12 drive unit series and 35 models for 0.6–80 mm (0.024–3.15 in) in 2-roll, 4-roll and belt configurations, for cable, tube, profile and strip, with adjustable roll positioning. Contact force is set high enough to prevent slippage but low enough to avoid marking the material.

Stripping Systems

Stripping and measuring systems for cable, wire, tube, strip, and profile.
