Irrespective of the size and material, sheets need to be leveled after cutting to size. This is because tension-free sheets are a precondition to achieving the absolute best quality in downstream manufacturing processes when welding, bending, or assembling. Precise leveling with a roller leveling machine produces sheets that are level and largely free of stresses.

Leveled parts speed up both automated and manual welding processes, since the welding gap is more constant due to leveling of the material having been leveled. The use of leveled and therefore low-tension parts means they remain flat during welding. This reduces the pre-work required and the end product is more dimensionally stable.

The Peak Performer part leveling machine from KOHLER reliably and precisely levels and relieves stress from sheets and blanks. Your downstream production processes benefit from higher quality leveled parts and sheets, as there's no need for time-consuming, manual rework. KOHLER's part leveling machines have no hydraulic systems whatsoever, which means that coupled with their excellent energy efficiency, they play an active role in saving resources in industrial sheet metal processing.

KOHLER is breaking new ground and confirming its position as the market leader with its use of direct drives and electromechanical leveling gap control in hydraulic-free part leveling machines. The KOHLER Peak Performer part leveling machines level sheets that are 0.2 to 66 mm thick.

Whether with your own parts leveler from KOHLER or leveled on a contract basis at KOHLER: In many cases, this already pays off in the next production step such as bending, welding or assembly. Excellent leveling results are achieved through the use of small leveling roller diameters, optimum roller spacing, and extra-wide supporting rollers.
