Leveling Tests

Your Fiber Laser Cuts Perfectly. Why Aren’t Your Parts Flat?

Fiber laser cutting releases internal stress in sheet metal. That’s why parts lift, twist, and bend inconsistently after cutting. KOHLER part leveling removes that stress so parts come out flat and production ready.

The Fiber Laser Flatness Problem

Fiber laser cutting releases internal stresses in the sheet metal. The result is parts that warp, lift or twist after cutting.

 

If you run a fiber laser, you may be seeing:

  • Laser cut parts that won’t lie flat
  • Fine features and cutouts that exaggerate distortion
  • Bend angles that change from part to part
  • Welding distortion and fit-up problems
  • Manual straightening and rework

 

Laser accuracy doesn’t guarantee flat parts.

Where Most Laser Shops Lose Money

 

Typical “fixes” that increase cost without fixing the root cause:

 

  • Press flattening one part at a time
  • Hammering or thermal straightening
  • Shimming during welding and assembly
  • Programming workarounds instead of process control

 

More labor, more variability, more scrap, slower throughput.

Different Challenges. One Solution: Precision Part Leveling.

Running a Job Shop?

running a job shop

You cut a wide mix of parts everyday.
When laser-cut parts aren’t flat, production slows down fast.


Warped parts lead to rework, inconsistent bends, welding issues, and operators spending time fixing parts instead of producing them. Manual straightening might get you by, but it doesn’t scale.


KOHLER part leveling helps job shops:

 

  • Eliminate manual rework and straightening
  • Process mixed laser-cut parts quickly
  • Deliver flat, consistent parts job after job

Producing Parts In-House?

You need consistent part quality. Not just flat parts, but predictable downstream processes.

 

Internal stress released during cutting causes variation in bending, welding, and assembly. Without controlling flatness, process stability suffers and quality issues move downstream.

 

KOHLER part leveling helps manufacturers:

 

  • Remove internal stress from laser-cut parts
  • Improve bend accuracy and repeatability
  • Stabilize welding and assembly processes
