TFON Leveltech® TF-S 3516
The TF-S 3516 is a 1600 mm thin sheet leveler for wide laser-cut panels and cut parts from 0.3 to 5 mm thick; it corrects distortion by roller leveling. When thin sheet comes in wide formats, the TFON Leveltech® TF-S 3516 levels sheet and cut parts from 0.3 to 5 mm thick and up to 1600 mm wide. The leveling gap is servo-mechanically controlled; the minimum part length is 35 mm. With a total weight of 6,000 kg, it suits production that levels wide thin-sheet panels and laser-cut parts.
Before/After
Which job does this machine solve?
- Corrects distortion from cutting and heat input in thin sheet and cut parts from 0.3 to 5 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 servo-mechanically controlled.
- 35 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-S 3516 handle?
The TFON Leveltech® TF-S 3516 handles material from 0.3 to 5 mm thick and up to 1600 mm wide. The minimum material length is 35 mm; leveling gap control is servo-mechanical.
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.
