Stretch Levelling Lines Athader
Stretch leveling technology allows achieving 100% flatness across the entire surface of the processed material.
It reaches “laser” quality by eliminating internal stresses in the material, bringing the metal sheet to the point of plastic deformation and avoiding the “spring-back” effect during the laser cutting process.
Athader, together with its partner LEVELTEK INTERNATIONAL, has Stretch Leveller lines in Australia and Europe.
Advantages:
The technology used in stretch-leveling lines enables the achievement of excellent leveling quality, reaching ‘laser’ standards. Among the advantages offered by stretch-leveling technology are:
- High reliability; more up-time with few moving parts generating less downtime and easier maintenance.
- Versatility and speed with documented productivity improvements.
- Stretches light and heavy gauge products by unique design.
- Fast installation: modular design allows faster and easy installation.
- Built on a flat concrete floor; no special foundations required.
- Retrofits cost far less than a new line, generating cost-effective upgrades.
- Manufacturing and service in UE and USA for a faster and specialized assistance.
