Pioneers & Technology Leaders in Innovative Leveling Technology

KOHLER develops and produces part leveling machines and strip feeding lines for presses and automatic stamping machines.

Why Level?

A Sheet Metal Leveling Machine that Delivers Optimum Leveling Results and Excellent Efficiency

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 levelling with a roller leveler / roller leveling machine produces sheets and blanks that are flat and largely free of internal stresses.

Efficient Welding

Reliably and Precisely Levels and Relieves Stress for Sheets and Part Blanks

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.

Part Leveling Machines

Optimum Leveling Results and Excellent Efficiency

The Peak Performer kohler machine reliably and precisely levels and relieves stress from sheets and blanks, improving downstream bending, welding and assembly. 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.

Applications

Five configurations, five kinds of work

Each Peak Performer configuration is built around the parts it will level — from light laser-cut blanks through to heavy plate and round parts.

For Light Laser and Stamped Parts

Typical applications: laser job shop, equipment manufacturing, electronics industry, aviation, automotive, precious metal processors, and custom applications

For Laser, Plasma, and Stamped Parts

Typically used in laser job shops, steel building, mechanical and plant engineering, and general sheet metal production

For Medium-Sized and Heavy Blanks and Sheets

Typically used in laser job shops, flame cutting shops, heavy-duty mechanical and plant engineering, the railroad industry, and shipbuilding

With Roller Bending for Targeted Elimination of Edge or Center Waves

Typically used for perforated sheets and panels

Tandem Leveling Line – The Perfect Combination for Round Parts

Typically used for all round parts with stringent levelness requirements

Peak Performer

Precise, Efficient & Cost-Effective

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.
