Part Leveling Machines
Sheet metal, after being cut using methods like laser, plasma, or stamping, often retains internal stresses and deformities such as waves, buckles, or camber. These flaws can affect the quality of finished goods, resulting in time-consuming and expensive rework or outright rejection in high-precision industries such as automotive, aerospace, and electronics. Part leveling machines were developed specifically for solving the problem of leveling and de-stressing metal sheets and parts to the point where they are perfectly level and ready for the subsequent manufacturing process.
The procedure uses passing the metal through a sequence of precision rollers under controlled pressure to remove internal stresses and obtain a flat, even surface. In addition to contributing to the overall quality of the end product, it also increases efficiency because it minimizes manual adjustments. For production manufacturers that desire to remain competitive, an investment in a part leveling machine will be a business game-changer—and GVK Metalforms, with its collaborative joint venture with Kohler, is leading the way to deliver just such innovations.

Key Features of Kohler Part Leveling Machines
The Kohler Peak Performer models, distributed by GVK Metalforms, are packed with innovations that make them the company’s first choice.
Here’s why:
Hydraulic-Free Design:
Contrary to conventional leveling machines that use hydraulic systems, the Peak Performer series uses electromechanical systems. This eliminates oil-based maintenance, lowers energy usage, and makes the machines eco-friendly.
Precision Leveling:
Employing small-diameter leveling rollers, optimal roller spacing, and broad supporting rollers, these machines provide superior flatness and stress relief, even for intricate geometries or perforated sheeting.
Direct-Drive Technology:
Utilizing direct drives in the larger models (beginning with the 85P series) reduces power loss, lowers component wear, and increases energy efficiency, maintaining operating expenses lower.
Advanced Cleaning System (ACS):
The ACS provides fast and convenient cleaning of leveling and support rollers with less downtime and predictable performance. This option is especially valuable when printing more sensitive materials to contamination, like blackplate.
Broad Range of Applications:
Used to level sheets between 0.2 mm and 66 mm thick and 3,500 mm wide, they are put to a wide range of applications in industries including laser job shops, automotive and heavy equipment production.
Energy Efficiency:
Prevention of rollers running idle time (i.e., standby) and minimizing slippage conserve considerable energy, in keeping with environmentally sound manufacturing practices.
