A Stretcher Unit is an industrial device used to apply controlled tension to materials for shaping, straightening, or stabilizing during manufacturing processes. It enhances dimensional accuracy and mechanical properties by stretching materials beyond their elastic limits.

🧰 Stretcher Unit – Industrial Overview

• Function:
  Applies mechanical tension to elongate or flatten materials such as metal sheets, textiles, or films.
• Structure:
  Typically includes a drive mechanism, tension rollers or clamps, and a control system for force regulation.
• Applications:
  Used in metalworking to correct warping, in textile processing to relax fabrics, and in plastic film production for dimensional control.
• Operation:
  Material is fed through the unit, where it is gripped and stretched under calibrated force to achieve desired shape or stress relief.
