Metco Metalizing Type 2W Wire Straightener with Metcoloy #2 wire

Description

The Metco 2W Wire Straightener Unit is designed to hold a stan
dard wire coil, straighten it as it uncoils, and feed it to the
gun under
controlled tension. For proper wire combustion
spraying, the wire must extend straight from the gun nozzle
and remain cen
te
red in the flame.
The straightening action of the 2W assures fast
spraying speeds and prevents wear on gears, wire nozzles,
and wire guides.
The Metco 2W takes wire from the reel in the
proper direc
tion and removes curvature from any wire type,
size and degree of stiffness.
We would mount this in vise in front of the lathe and spray. once we got this, we stopped going through feed gears as much. It worked great.
