The requirements for manufacturers of large-diameter flanges are increasing in terms of higher precision, better surface quality and faster delivery. Flanges like OD 1946 mm, ID 1785 mm, thickness 42 mm require exceptional flatness and stability before machining, welding or assembly. Any deformation of the raw plate or ring material can cause machining errors, sealing problems and costly re-work.
That’s where our precision leveling machines deliver unmatched value to you.
Why Large Flange Manufacturers Require a Leveling Machine
- Raw plates and ring blanks are never perfectly flat
Large diameter flanges are usually cut from thick steel plates or rolled rings. These materials are often deficient in:
- Stress internal
- Cutting and warping
- Uneven thickness
- Wave ripple on surface
- Edge deformations
If these problems are not corrected prior to machining, the flange will not be flat or meet the sealing requirements.
- Machining warped material is costly and risky
Manufacturers without a leveling face:
- Longer machining times
- More tool wear.
- Difficulty in achieving parallelism
- Higher scrap rate
- Sealing performance is poor after installation
A levelling machine eliminates these risks right at the beginning of the process.
- Customers require more precision than ever before
Flanges for wind power, petrochemical, water treatment and offshore engineering industries are demanded to have tight flatness tolerances. Leveling guarantees your products conform to international standards and customer expectations.
Our Leveling Machine – The Perfect Solution for Large Flange Production ✔ High-Precision Leveling of Thick Plates and Large Rings
Our machine is designed for flattening steel plates and ring shaped parts with diameters up to a few meters. Even heavy plates from 8 mm to 60 mm thickness can be leveled to obtain excellent flatness.
✔ Suitable for Flanges OD 1500–3000 mm
Leveling before machining greatly improves flanges such as 1946 mm x 1785 mm x 42 mm. The process guarantees:
- Flatness uniformity
- Stable clamping for machining
- Less vibration
- Improved sealing ability after installation
✔ Removes internal stresses before machining
The internal stress of the material is eliminated and the material remains stable during the machining process, avoiding deformation while turning, drilling or welding.
✔Improves Productivity
Once leveled, the material is easier to machine and requires fewer corrective cuts, so manufacturers typically cut the time needed for machining by 20-40%.
✔ Reduced scrap and rework
Leveling ensures that every flange blank is flat enough before it reaches the machining stage, which greatly reduces the risk of defects.
