Abstract: Straightening process is one of the most important processes to improve straightness of linear motion components. The most urgent problems to be solved by the precision straightening process are the residual deflection caused by elastic rebound, and obtaining accurate straightening stroke. Stroke-deflection model is one of the most critical factors that decides the precision and efficiency of straightening process. However, semi-finished linear guide rail often slightly bent or twisted in a variety of processing and transportation
process, and these deformation often need precision straightening to ensure that the guide rail straightness of the finished product..........
