Titanium springs back differently from steel, and this video shows an automatic titanium bar straightening machine managing that demanding behavior with controlled, carefully measured passes. Instead of one heavy stroke, the CNC applies incremental corrections and re-measures after each, letting the controller learn the bar’s response and converge on straightness without overshooting or stressing the alloy.
Titanium bars within the Ø5–600 mm range, with stock 100 mm to 12 m long, run through 20–90 second cycles. Short bars get 2–3 measurement points and long beds carry 5–8 probes; general stock leaves at 0.10–0.30 mm/m, while medical, aerospace and high-performance titanium components are held to 0.02–0.05 mm.
Titanium stock straightened here feeds aerospace fastener and structural lines, medical implant manufacturers, chemical and marine hardware makers and performance engineering shops — all of whom need straight bars with intact surfaces and undisturbed material properties. The footage shows the controller overlaying the measured runout after each incremental pass, so the springback behavior of the alloy is visible on screen and the bar is only released once the curve converges on the target.
