TFON Leveltech® TF-M 5516
The TF-M 5516 is a 1600 mm leveling machine for laser-cut and punched parts from 0.5 to 15 mm thick; it corrects cutting and heat distortion by roller leveling. The job of the TFON Leveltech® TF-M 5516 is to remove, by roller leveling, the distortion that cutting and heat input leave in sheet and cut parts. Its working range is defined by a 0.5 to 15 mm thickness and a 1600 mm width. With a servo-hydraulic, PC-controlled leveling gap and a 110 mm minimum part length, it suits production that levels laser-cut and punched parts of different thicknesses within the same shift.
Before/After
Which job does this machine solve?
- Corrects distortion from cutting and heat input in sheet and cut parts from 0.5 to 15 mm thick by mechanical roller leveling.
- 1600 mm working width: sheet and cut parts up to 1600 mm wide are leveled.
- The leveling gap is set servo-hydraulically and controlled via PC.
- 110 mm minimum part length: short cut parts can be leveled as well.
- Mechanical leveling is kept separate from thermal stress-relief heat treatment; if your drawing specifies a heat treatment, it is planned as a separate process.
Frequently asked questions
Does this machine perform thermal stress relief?
No. It performs mechanical roller leveling. A good flatness result does not certify that the material is stress-free.
What thickness and width does the TFON Leveltech® TF-M 5516 handle?
The TFON Leveltech® TF-M 5516 handles material from 0.5 to 15 mm thick and up to 1600 mm wide. The minimum material length is 110 mm; leveling gap control is servo-hydraulic with 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 sample test is recommended.
How is the flatness result measured?
The measuring condition (free or supported), the measuring area, the instrument and the drawing limit are recorded together in writing.
