Corporate Profile: KOHLER Part Leveling Machines

The best sheet metal specialists have long known that punched and laser-cut sheets must be leveled before they can be further processed. The lower the stress and the more level the parts are, the easier it is to edge, weld, and assemble them. As a result, downstream work becomes more reliable and more efficient. KOHLER offers high-performance and energy-efficient part leveling machines for numerous applications including leveling parts, blanks, and whole sheet metal plates. The KOHLER Peak Performer can level sheets from 0.2-to-66 mm thick.

Improved quality, more efficient

The higher quality of the products made from leveled parts is a decisive advantage of leveling. With a KOHLER Peak Performer, parts are leveled in just a few seconds. Often, after only one pass. The high energy efficiency and improved environmental compatibility also conserve resources during the process.

Hydraulic free, environmentally conscious

All KOHLER part leveling machines operate without hydraulics. The result is a machine that is low maintenance, leak-free, unaffected by temperature fluctuations, more energy efficient and environmentally friendly. All 85P series and larger machines are equipped with a powerful and energy-efficient direct drive. This significantly reduces the energy consumption, while increasing the leveling power and further reducing the maintenance required.

Precise and user-friendly

The patented KOHLER Gap Control system ensures a constant leveling gap during the entire leveling process regardless of the contour of the parts to be leveled or the distribution of the stresses in the part. Without hydraulics the entire Gap Control system is virtually maintenance-free. The Advanced Cleaning System enables the rollers to be easily cleaned by one person between two leveling jobs. To help increase the service life of the leveling rollers, they are reversible. Additionally, the special arrangement of the supporting rollers displaces the point load on the leveling rollers once they have been turned when leveling narrow parts on machines with comparably large processing widths.
