Levelers

"Levelers" are specialized machines used to flatten and straighten aluminum sheets, plates, or coils. Levelers play a crucial role in ensuring that the aluminum products have uniform flatness and are free from any distortion or warping. They are commonly used in the production of high-quality aluminum sheets and plates used in various industries such as automotive, aerospace, construction, and consumer goods.

Usage of Levelers in the Aluminum Industry:

• Flatness Improvement: The primary purpose of levelers is to improve the flatness of aluminum sheets, plates, or coils by removing any unevenness or waviness on the surface.
• Stress Relief: Levelers help in relieving internal stresses in the aluminum material, which can be caused during the rolling or heat treatment processes.
• Quality Enhancement: Levelers ensure that the aluminum products meet strict quality standards, resulting in consistent and uniform flatness throughout the material.
• How Levelers Work in the Aluminum Industry:
• Material Feeding: The aluminum sheet, plate, or coil is fed into the leveler.
• Straightening Rolls: The leveler is equipped with a series of adjustable rolls that exert pressure on the aluminum material. These rolls are positioned to correct any deformations in the material.
• Roller Configuration: The rolls in the leveler can be adjusted individually or in groups to apply the necessary force to flatten and straighten the aluminum product.
• Stress Release: The pressure applied by the rolls helps to release any residual stresses in the aluminum, reducing the likelihood of warping or distortion.
• Multiple Passes: Depending on the initial condition of the aluminum and the desired flatness, the material may go through multiple passes in the leveler to achieve the desired result.
• Tension Control: Levelers may also have tension control systems to prevent the material from stretching or buckling during the leveling process.
