Wire straightening apparatus having a hydraulically driven wire feed

摘要

A wire straightening apparatus includes a machine stand; a wire straightening device; a mounting for securing the wire straightening device to the stand; an inlet roller pair and an outlet roller pair; a mounting for securing the inlet roller pair and the outlet roller pair to the stand adjacent opposite sides of the wire straightening device for feeding a wire therethrough; and a drive for rotating the roller pairs. The drive comprises a first constant-volume hydraulic motor connected to at least one of the rollers of the inlet roller pair; a second constant-volume hydraulic motor connected to at least one of the rollers of the outlet roller pair; and an arrangement for supplying hydraulic medium under pressure to the motors.
