High-speed reinforcing steel straightening machines generate additional flexibility and relieve the pressure on rebar cutting systems in a major way. This, in turn, permits metal bending companies to achieve greater flexibility and more production output. In concrete and precast production facilities, modern straightening systems are quite often the pivotal means of production in operation. The situation in the steel reinforcing business is characterised by external costs and tight deadlines. It is becoming increasingly more diffi- cult to find personnel for such very exacting physical work. There have been signs of greater willingness to invest in straightening and cut- ting plants in recent times. Nowadays, diameters up to 20 mm can be processed from a coil. This has brought about substantial changes to the stock of machinery and production structures.
