What is a Two-in-One Automatic Leveling Machine?

The two-in-one automatic leveling machine is an advanced automated device that integrates the functions of uncoiling and leveling, widely applied in the processing of metal coil materials. Its working principle primarily involves the coordinated operation of the uncoiling unit and the leveling unit. Below is a detailed introduction:

I. Working Principle of the Uncoiling Section
1. Structure of the Material Rack:
Powered Material Rack: Equipped with an independent power system, typically driven by a motor to rotate the main shaft, enabling automatic uncoiling of the rolled material. This material rack controls the uncoiling speed through photoelectric sensing devices or sensing racks, ensuring synchronization with the leveling unit.
Unpowered Material Rack: Lacking an independent power source, it relies on the traction force from the leveling unit to pull the material. The main shaft is equipped with a rubber brake, and the stability of material feeding is controlled by manually adjusting the brake via a handwheel.

2. Uncoiling Process:
When the coil is placed on the material rack, the motor (for powered types) or the traction force from the leveling unit (for unpowered types) drives the main shaft to rotate, gradually unfolding the coil. During this process, the photoelectric sensing device monitors the tension and position of the material in real-time to ensure smooth and even uncoiling.

II. Working Principle of the Leveling Section
1. Composition of the Leveling Mechanism:
The leveling section mainly consists of the transmission components of the leveling machine and the base. The transmission mechanism includes a motor, reducer, sprocket, transmission shaft, and leveling rollers. The leveling rollers are typically made of solid bearing steel, treated with hard chromium plating, providing high hardness and excellent wear resistance.

2. Leveling Process:
After the material is unfolded from the uncoiling section, it enters the leveling section. It first passes through the feeding roller and then undergoes leveling by the leveling rollers. The downward pressure of the leveling rollers can be adjusted via a four-point balance fine-tuning device to accommodate materials of varying thicknesses and hardness. The leveling rollers apply uniform pressure to the material surface, correcting bending and deformation to achieve a flat effect.

III. Principle of Collaborative Work
1. Synchronous Control:
The two-in-one automatic leveling machine controls the uncoiling speed through photoelectric sensing devices or sensing frames, ensuring synchronized operation between the uncoiling and leveling units. This synchronous control mechanism prevents issues such as uneven tension, material accumulation, or stretching during the uncoiling and leveling processes.

2. Automated Operation:
The equipment features an intelligent operation interface. Through the touch screen or control panel, operators can easily set and adjust operational parameters. Parameters such as the pressure of the leveling rollers in the leveling section and the tension in the uncoiling section can all be precisely adjusted according to actual requirements.

IV. Work Process Summary
1. Placement of Roll Material: Place the roll material on the material rack and secure it properly.
2. Uncoiling and Starting: Start the equipment. For powered material racks, the motor drives the main shaft to rotate; for unpowered material racks, the winding material is pulled out by the traction force of the leveling unit.
3. Leveling Treatment: The unfolded material enters the leveling section, passing through the feeding roller and the leveling rollers. By adjusting the pressure of the leveling rollers, the material is leveled.
4. Synchronous Control: The photoelectric sensing device or sensing frame monitors the tension and position of the material in real-time, ensuring synchronized operation between the uncoiling and leveling processes.
5. Finished Product Output: The leveled material is output from the end of the equipment and proceeds to subsequent processing procedures.

Based on the aforementioned working principle, the two-in-one automatic leveling machine achieves efficient integration of uncoiling and leveling, enhancing production efficiency while ensuring the surface quality and leveling accuracy of materials.
