A single column straightening press is a type of hydraulic press specially designed for straightening or aligning workpieces, such as bars, pipes or profiles. These presses have only one stand or frame to which the cylinder and movable table are attached. The hydraulic single column straightening press is used to remove bends and deformations in metal pieces and bring them into a straight or flat shape. The press has a high compressive force and can be rated at a specific ton or force, which varies depending on the size of the workpiece being straightened. The process is driven by a hydraulic cylinder that applies pressure to the workpiece. Single-column straightening presses are usually compact and space-saving because they have only one column. They are also usually easier to operate and maintain than multi-column straightening presses. The press can be operated manually or automatically, depending on the requirements of the manufacturer or user. Single-column straightening presses are used in the automotive industry, aerospace industry, heavy industry and mechanical engineering.
