How TFON Leveltech Improves Sheet Metal Flatness
Mechanical leveling for sheet metal, plate and cut parts.
Why Cut Parts Need Leveling
The machine that flattens metal is a roller leveler, also called a leveling machine or parts leveler. It passes sheet, plate or cut parts between two rows of offset rolls that bend the material up and down, with less bending toward the exit, until it comes out flat. TFON is a leveling machine manufacturer in Konya, Türkiye, and builds the TFON Leveltech® range for parts from 0.3 to 30 mm thick.
TFON Leveltech® leveling machines are designed to improve the flatness of sheet metal, plates and cut parts before the next production stage. Cutting, punching, heat input and residual stresses can leave components distorted or difficult to process. A correctly configured leveling system applies controlled alternating bending so the part leaves the machine flatter and more stable for welding, bending, machining, coating or assembly.
Mechanical leveling and thermal stress-relief treatment are different processes. TFON Leveltech is intended for mechanical leveling; the required flatness and process suitability should be assessed for the actual material, dimensions and incoming distortion.

Machine Features and Control Systems
Explore the available control, protection and handling features.
IV-POINT
Positioning Via 4 Linear Guides
Four-point adjustment is used to control the leveling gap. Confirm the adjustment specification for the machine configuration; positioning accuracy and the flatness of a processed part are different requirements.
T-VISION
PC Control
Serving as the brain of the machine, our PC-controlled touch screen provides a complete overview of the entire leveling process. It tracks every critical detail in real-time, giving operators full control and instant visibility into the machine's performance at a single glance.
PRECIPRESS
Servo-Hydraulic System
Servo-hydraulic control manages the leveling forces and adjustment. Evaluate the system for the expected material properties, dimensions and duty cycle, and follow the specified maintenance requirements.
T-GUARD
Overload Protection
The protection system monitors the configured operating signals and can intervene when defined limits are exceeded. Confirm the protection functions and operating limits for the proposed machine.
GAPSNAP
Leveling Gap Control
Leveling-gap control manages the working gap during processing. Achievable part flatness depends on material properties, geometry, incoming distortion and the selected setup, and should be assessed by inspection.
PARTTRACK
Recipe System
Stored recipes allow approved processing settings to be recalled. Verify that the selected recipe matches the part and inspect the result when incoming material or machine conditions change.
Leveling Machine Options and Material Handling
Smart Feed
TFON Smart Feed. This mechanism is designed to ensure uniform use of the rollers across their entire width, allowing parts to be processed not just along a specific line, but distributed over the full width of the roller. As a result, load distribution on the rollers is balanced, wear occurs more evenly, and maintenance intervals are extended. Offered as an optional feature, this provides a significant advantage in terms of both consistent performance and extended equipment lifespan.
Autoroll Roller Ejection System
TFON Automatic Roll-Out System automatically moves the leveling rollers out of the machine, providing easy access for cleaning, maintenance, repair, and lubrication. This system improves occupational safety while reducing maintenance time and increasing operational efficiency.
Barcode Scanner
Barcode identification can load the settings associated with a defined part or order. Verify the code-to-recipe mapping and confirm that the identified part matches the material being processed.
SoftTouch
Assess the handling and contact arrangement for parts whose edges or surfaces may be marked. Confirm suitability on representative samples and inspect the part against its surface and flatness requirements.
Caliper Reader
Measurement transfer can reduce manual transcription of thickness values. Verify the measuring instrument, the measured location and the selected part record before using the value for setup.
Front and Rear Conveyor
TFON Front and Rear Conveyor The optional front and rear conveyors with speed adjustable in synchronization with the machine, ensure fast and orderly feeding of parts and are also ideal for handling long components.
Sheet Metal Roller Levelers
A sheet metal roller leveler corrects shape, not only curvature. Bending the part past its yield point in alternating directions evens out the uneven stresses that make a cut part bow, twist or show edge waves. Thin rolls bend thin sheet effectively; thick plate needs larger rolls and far more force. That is why levelers are built in series by thickness range.
| Series | Material thickness | Max. material width | Min. part length | Leveling gap adjustment |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| XS-3520: 200 mm compact leveling machine | 0.3 to 5 mm | 200 mm | 35 mm | Servo-mechanical |
| TF-S, for example TF-S 3513: 1300 mm thin sheet leveler | 0.3 to 5 mm | 600 to 1600 mm | 35 mm | Servo-mechanical |
| TF-M, for example TF-M 5513: 1300 mm leveling machine | 0.5 to 15 mm | 600 to 2000 mm | 110 mm | Servo-hydraulic, PC control |
| TF-L, for example TF-L 9020: 2000 mm sheet metal leveler | 1 to 30 mm | 600 to 2000 mm | 160 mm | Servo-hydraulic, PC control |
All models have touch-screen control, and quick changeover for the leveling rolls is available as an option. Choose the series by the thinnest and thickest parts you need to level, then the width by the widest part. Parts with large cut-outs behave differently from solid parts of the same thickness, so include them in your enquiry. The sheet metal leveler buying guide lists everything else to check before you buy.
Roller leveling is mechanical. Where a drawing calls for thermal stress relief, it is planned as a separate heat treatment; stress relief after welding compares the methods, and sheet metal leveling explains how to specify and measure flatness.
Leveling Machine Manufacturer
TFON designs and builds Leveltech® leveling machines at its plant in Konya, Türkiye, from the 1,700 kg XS-3520 for small thin parts to the 39,600 kg TF-L 9020 for plate up to 30 mm thick and 2000 mm wide. Working with the manufacturer means the machine is specified from your own part data: material grade, thickness range, part width and length, cut-outs, and the flatness tolerance with its measuring condition.
Machines are shipped to customers in Türkiye and export markets. After delivery, TFON provides installation and commissioning, operator and maintenance training, periodic maintenance and spare parts, including leveling rolls and counter rollers, matched to the machine serial number.
For a quote, tell TFON what comes before and after leveling: whether parts arrive from laser, plasma or oxy-fuel cutting, and whether they go on to bending, welding or machining. The series and working width follow from that data together with the thickness range and the widest part.

TFON Leveltech® machines perform mechanical roller leveling and correct shape deviation caused by cutting and heat input. This is not the same as thermal stress-relief heat treatment; a good flatness result does not certify that the material is stress-free.
Frequently asked questions
Is leveling the same as thermal stress relief?
No. Roller leveling is a mechanical process that corrects shape. Thermal stress relief is a separate process. A good flatness result does not certify that the material is stress-free; if your drawing specifies a heat treatment, it is planned as a separate process.
How is flatness measured and accepted?
Alongside the tolerance value, the measuring condition (free or supported), the measuring area, and the instrument and method are specified. Without them, the same part can give two different results. Acceptance compares the drawing limit with the measured value; a visual impression is not an acceptance method.
Can a leveled part distort again after welding?
Yes, it can. The heat input from welding can create new distortion. In that case, measure both after leveling and after welding to identify the step that causes the problem.
What is the difference between the XS, TF-S, TF-M and TF-L series?
The series differ in thickness range, working width and leveling gap control. The XS and TF-S series handle 0.3 to 5 mm material thickness with servo-mechanical control; TF-S models offer a maximum material width of 600 to 1600 mm. The TF-M series handles 0.5 to 15 mm and the TF-L series 1 to 30 mm; in both, the maximum material width is 600 to 2000 mm depending on the model, with servo-hydraulic / PC control.
Can parts with holes and cut-outs be leveled?
Yes, but parts with large cut-outs behave differently from a solid part of the same nominal thickness. A narrow solid strip and a wide part with large openings react differently at the same thickness. A sample test is recommended.
