Cascadia Metals Installs 5/16" x 72" Hydraulic "Plunge" Cassette Leveler

Hydraulic Cassette Levelers employ automatic computer controls to reduce new order set-up time and scrap. The Cassette Leveler automatically positions its work rolls after coil gauge and yield strength are entered into the computer terminal. On-the-fly shape correction adjustments can be made via joy stick controls or via computer key pad. All Leveler set-up parameters can be saved to the computer memory via order number, which is a time saving feature when leveling partial coils. The computer memory allows the Leveler to automatically adjust to the set-up previously used after entering the job number.


The Cascadia CTL upgrade project included the installation of a new Automatic Sheet Stacker with the ability to stack 24" wide through 72" wide x 5/16" sheets in lengths from 30" to 480". The Stacker is a "flipper" style drop-type wherein sheets are supported in the Stacker by rows of close-center non-marking nylon rollers. The rollers are mounted on cylinder actuated "flipper" bars that pivot open to deposit the sheet onto a pallet or sheet pack without surface sliding or scuffing. The flipper bars are arranged in short independently actuated segments along the Stacker length. A program determines the number of flipper segments that are activated depending upon the sheet length.


Multiple Hydraulic Elevating Stack Tables are raised to an elevation a few inches below the sheet pass line when running in order to minimize the sheet vertical drop when stacking. The Tables automatically descend to maintain a fixed drop dimension as the sheet pack grows in height. Hydraulically driven side discharge chain type conveyor carries sheet packages up to 40' long weighing up to 40,000# out of the Stacker.

Quality, Performance, and Bullet-Proof Reliability, plus exemplary technical support made Cascadia's choice of a Braner/Loopco Computer Controlled Hydraulic "Plunge" Cassette Leveler and CTL equipment a "no-brainer."
