Fixed-Frame-Straightening-Press

For straightening larger shafts, Savage offers the FFS Straightening Press. Roller stands permit crane loading and workpiece positioning under a fixed ram.

Savage’s model FFS Fixed Frame Straightening Press is an economical alternative to a traveling gantry press for straightening moderate-weight shafts, tubes, and round bars. In operation, the workpiece is loaded onto rollers on an extension table to allow dial indication. The moving lift/rotation stands allow bars weighing up to one thousand pounds to be easily rolled into a straightening position under the ram. V-Block Anvils steady the workpiece, allowing for maximum precision during straightening.

The workpiece must be manually positioned under the ram, by moving it across the rollers. This provides an economical method of positioning heavy workpieces. Lift cylinders are available in the press bed to raise the workpiece for positioning of the press anvils.

The 100-ton model (left, top) and 300-ton model (left, bottom) both feature a complete Fixed Frame Straightening Accessories Package (left, bottom).
