Outline of Super Hybrid Leveler/Slitter Line for High-Performance Metal Plate/Sheet

Recent metal plates (sheet), including ultrahigh-strength steel for automobiles, are becoming high-performance. These materials tend to be conducted special treatment and their flatness tends to be deteriorated. Consequently, the flattening ability of high-performance metal plate/sheet, especially ultrahigh-strength steel, has been insufficient in conventional leveling facilities. In response to requirements, a new hybrid roller/tension leveler and slitter combination facility (super hybrid leveler/slitter line), which has both tension leveler function and roller leveler function capable of handling a wide range of metal plate/sheet, was developed and put into the commercial operation. This paper will introduce this new technology.
