Yes, while the physics of leveling 20mm plate is different from thin sheet, the Model 100 maintains a flatness tolerance of 0.05-0.1mm (measured over 1m). This high precision is achieved through the rigid frame and precise CNC gap adjustment, ensuring that even thick plates meet strict industrial standards for flatness.

Absolutely. The Model 100 is equipped with a high-power drive system designed to deliver the torque necessary for 20mm thick material. The gearbox and couplings are reinforced to handle the shock loads that can occur when feeding uneven heavy plates into the machine.

The minimum workpiece length is 160mm. This is determined by the roll pitch (distance between rolls). To ensure the plate is gripped by at least three rolls simultaneously for stability, a minimum length is physically required. This makes the Model 100 ideal for large structural blanks rather than small parts.

The 19-roll design strikes a balance between leveling quality and roll strength. For 20mm plates, you need large rolls to prevent breakage, but enough rolls to create the alternating bending cycles. This configuration provides the necessary leverage to flatten thick plates while maintaining the structural integrity of the roll shafts.

Yes, the Model 100 is specifically engineered for heavy plate leveling. With a maximum capacity of 20mm, your 18mm plates are well within its range. The 100mm roll diameter ensures that the machine can generate the massive specific pressure required to plastically deform such thick material and remove internal stresses.
