Its main function is to flatten and level metal sheets or plates that may have been warped or distorted during manufacturing processes such as cutting, rolling, or welding.
Here’s how it typically works:
- Feeding: The metal plates are fed into the machine.
- Rolling Mechanism: The leveller uses a series of rollers to apply pressure across the metal plate, which helps to eliminate any bends, warps, or curve forms.
- Adjustable Settings: Most plate levellers allow for adjustments to accommodate different thicknesses and materials, providing flexibility for various applications.
- Output: The end product is a flat metal plate ready for further processing, such as fabrication, welding, or assembly.
Plate levellers are used in various industries, including manufacturing, automotive, construction, and more, where precision and flatness of materials are critical.
