Leveling Leveling Equipment Bradbury introduced hydraulic leveling in the mid 1980’s. Since then Bradbury Hydraulic Levelers have become the most versatile and efficient precision leveling machines available. We minimize adjustments by moving only the lower portion of the leveler. With significant hydraulic force, we neutralize stress allowing our customers to deliver a premium quality product day after day. Development of world-class controls and a unique set of options, including our exclusive e•Drive®, have made our levelers the easiest to operate, most productive and energy efficient – while maintaining control of tension and outstanding flatness repeatability. Join the hundreds of other companies around the world that profit from the Bradbury experience. Leveler Features: • • • • • • • • •

Light Gauge e•Drive® Leveler
Evolving through research, development, and testing, the Bradbury eDrive® leveling system offers the industry the most up to date leveling technology available. Developed after discovering the mismatch of roll speeds as material makes its way through the leveler, the Bradbury eDrive® equalizes internal stresses while delivering superior flatness. The Bow Scout® reduces the possibility for leveled sheets to be processed with up and down bow by utilizing sensors inside the leveler to maintain a consistent exit gap, and continuous monitoring is implemented to ensure flatness along the length of the strip. Bradbury’s FlatTrak® CL Monitoring System incorporates a laser system into the leveling line to identify irregularities in the strip. The information is sent through an algorithm to determine where and to what magnitude backup adjustments should be made to remove waves and buckles. A 3D format display provides the operator with real time information to monitor the material for manual adjustments, or the machine can be put into an automatic mode so that continuous changes can be made by the system. Yield Finder™ tests the yield strength of the material and correctly sets the plunge depth, eliminating guesswork for the operator. This translates into artificially intelligent equipment that anticipates corrections, 5 producing flat product every time.
