Precision Finishing Equipment with Integrated Straightening Unit – Advanced Plate Leveling Solution for Industrial Applications This high-performance
plate leveller combines a robust
straightening machine and
tension leveler in one seamless system, engineered to address common coil defects such as edge waves, center buckling, rib deformation, and overall warping. Designed for precision finishing in metalworking industries, this equipment ensures uniform stress distribution across the material surface by applying controlled tension and bending forces during processing. Whether working with carbon steel or stainless steel, the system delivers consistent results that meet strict quality standards. Key Features: - Dual roller configuration: Two sets of bending rollers and two sets of leveling rollers provide superior correction capabilities for complex deformations. - Automatic weld seam tracking: The upper unwinding mechanism includes reverse inching functionality and automatic tail swinging, allowing precise alignment with the weld joint at the entrance of the straightening unit. - Seamless integration: Roller box automatically opens when the weld seam reaches the entry point and closes after passage through the straightening section—ensuring uninterrupted operation without manual intervention. - High efficiency: Unwinding speed up to 300 meters per minute enables rapid processing while maintaining accuracy and consistency. Detailed Description: The integrated straightening unit is specifically designed to resolve issues caused by improper roller adjustment or inconsistent roll gap control during coil rolling. These inconsistencies often lead to uneven stretching across the width of the sheet, resulting in residual internal stresses that compromise flatness and structural integrity. By incorporating a tension leveler into the workflow, this system effectively eliminates such imperfections by stretching the material uniformly under controlled tension, thereby restoring flatness and enhancing mechanical properties. The advanced design allows for continuous operation with minimal downtime, making it ideal for high-volume production environments where reliability and repeatability are critical. Ideal for use in manufacturing sectors including automotive, construction, appliance, and general fabrication, this plate leveller supports both thin and thick gauges of carbon steel and stainless steel. Its ability to handle various defect types—from localized bulges to global curvature—makes it a versatile solution for modern metal finishing lines. The automated features reduce operator dependency, improve safety, and minimize scrap rates due to misalignment or improper handling. User Feedback: Operators from diverse industrial settings have reported significant improvements in product quality and process efficiency since implementing this system. Many highlight the ease of setup, particularly the automatic weld tracking feature, which reduces manual labor and prevents interruptions during production runs. Users also appreciate the stability of the leveling process, noting fewer rejects and smoother downstream operations like cutting, welding, or forming. Frequently Asked Questions: What materials can be processed? This equipment is suitable for carbon steel, stainless steel, and other ferrous metals commonly used in sheet metal applications. How does the tension leveler improve material flatness? By applying controlled tensile force while passing the material through multiple roller stages, the tension leveler redistributes internal stresses, reducing warping and improving dimensional stability. Is it possible to integrate this unit into existing production lines? Yes, the modular design allows for straightforward installation into new or upgraded setups, especially in continuous strip processing systems. Can it handle welded coils safely? Absolutely—the automatic weld detection and roller box opening/closing function ensure safe passage of weld seams without damaging the rollers or compromising the material’s integrity. This precision finishing solution stands out in the global market for its combination of automation, accuracy, and durability—making it an essential tool for manufacturers seeking enhanced productivity and superior end-product quality.
