Due to the larger roll diameter and spacing required for thick plates, the minimum workpiece length for the Model 60 is 130mm. This is a physical requirement to ensure the material is gripped by enough rolls to be pulled through the machine safely without slipping or jamming.

Thick plates often retain a strong curvature from being coiled. The Model 60 uses a 19-roll configuration with a larger diameter to provide deep penetration of stress relief. By forcing the 10-12mm material through a tight curvature repeatedly, the machine effectively "resets" the metal's memory, resulting in a flat sheet that is ready for precision cutting or welding.

Yes, the Model 60 is designed for this exact application. While its rated thickness is 1.0-6.0mm, it has a maximum capacity (Tmax) of 12mm. This means it can handle your 10mm plates effectively. The 60mm roll diameter is robust enough to apply the specific pressure required to flatten plates of this magnitude without damaging the machine.
