This video shows a hydraulic straightening machine at work in a mixed-part workshop: shafts of different diameters are loaded onto adjustable supports, the operator or automatic gauge locates the bend, and a hydraulic ram applies controlled force to bring the part straight — a flexible setup for one-offs and small batches without dedicated part programming. An experienced fitter can switch from a slender bar to a heavy stepped shaft in minutes by moving the supports and selecting a ram force.
Frames are offered in C-type and gantry styles, with force capacity scaling up to 1000-ton-class for large shafts and plates, on 380–480 V three-phase power. Hydraulic machines trade the top speed of full CNC lines for lower investment and fast changeover between unrelated parts; our comparison of hydraulic vs CNC vs fully automatic straighteners helps match architecture to volume.
Typical users are repair shops, fabrication works and makers of pumps, valves, rolls and construction machinery who straighten shafts, bars and weldments in lots from one to a few hundred, with tooling and supports adjusting in minutes. See frame and tonnage options in the hydraulic press series.
