The company’s Technology Center features a 200-ton capacity crane, 75 machining centers,
in-house stress relieving facilities and an active, covered rail spur.

A Roller Leveler is used to achieved material flatness by precisely bending metal strip back and forth as it is passed through a series of small-diameter offset rolls to make the metal's surface flat, wave-free and to neutralize hidden internal stresses that cause twist and bow during secondary operations (e.g., stamping). Gap between the rolls is set independently on a leveler's entry and exit. To begin leveling the metal, it is deeply “nested” upon entering the rolls – forcing the material to plunge through extreme angles, removing strip memory caused by trapped internal stresses. Adjustable pressure points called flights under the rolls are used to raise and lower the rolls to a specific position – altering the material path length through the leveler and allowing the material to be stretched more because more work is being performed on it as it passes through the rolls.

The complete integration and testing of the equipment prior to shipment ensures the delivery of a high-quality, fully-functional product, enabling quick startups, shorter outages and faster ramp-up into full production.

The Electrical and Automation Group has a wide range of in-depth experience in the metals processing industry. This experience includes power distribution, AC/DC drives, motion control, modeling, data acquisition and visualization for both new equipment, upgrades and retrofits of existing lines.
