In particular, in the field of machines for treating iron rods for reinforced concrete, said machines generally have at least one straightener provided with a plurality of mutually opposite straightening elements constituted by contrarotating wheels; the materials being treated, which arrive from bars and from rolls or reels, are inserted between said wheels along a preset longitudinal advancement axis.
- Said machines often have two straighteners arranged in series, in which one has wheels provided with vertical axes and the other one has wheels provided with horizontal axes, said straighteners being meant to correct a corresponding Cartesian component of the curvature.
- In particular, twin-wire machines are known which allow to simultaneously treat two wires, which are arranged longitudinally side by side along said advancement axis. In these machines, the straighteners are provided with straightening elements which are peripherally provided with a twin groove meant to be engaged by the two wires to be straightened.
- In twin-wire machines the problem is therefore felt of tilting the plane of arrangement of the wires to be straightened during transfer from the first straightener to the second straightener. In the first straightener, the two wires are in fact superimposed on a vertical plane, whilst in the second straightener they are arranged side by side on a horizontal plane.
