Stretch-Bend-Leveling Lines
the most lasting effect on thin material strips. Various shape deffects
such as wavy edges, crossbow, center buckles and coil set are easily eliminated.
World market leader in the leveling technology for metal strips
The consistent further development of stretch-bend-leveling lines has made b+s the world market leader in the leveling of thin and foil metal strips.
By superimposing tension and bending during the straightening process, material parameters such as yield strength, elongation and spring bending limit can be adjusted and internal stresses reduced. As a result, strip shape defects such as waviness, cross bow, the longitudinal bow and the camber are reduced to a minimum.
These improvements in strip quality significantly optimize further processing. For example, the forming properties of the strip improve, the shape accuracy of the end products is increased, and thinner coats can be achieved for surface finishings.
