The Bradbury Co., Inc. announces the hiring of Steve Baker to the Group's coil processing and leveling team. Steve comes with a 20 year plus background in this industry. His experience involves cut-to-length lines, slitting lines, galvanizing and paint lines as well as push/pull pickle lines.

The Bradbury Group introduces a 60” X .070” cut to length line featuring a Bradbury e•Drive® leveler and an Athader rotary shear operating at 300 FPM eliminating the need for a looping pit.  The line was also equipped with a recoiler giving the ability to rework secondary coils into leveled prime coils. Athader joined The Bradbury Group in 2012 which brought the latest technologically automated coil processing lines including: slitting lines, cut-to-length lines, packaging and strapping lines to enhance Bradbury’s offering of metal processing equipment.

This newly issued patent is another example of Bradbury’s commitment to innovation.

Adjusting precision roller levelers 

A precision roller leveler will produce flat sheets from coiled steel. If the leveler is not adjusted properly, stress can be induced in the material causing bow in the end product.
