The Bradbury Flat Trak® CL Series surface scanning technology utilizes lasers to continuously scan the surface of the strip for shape deformation. A digital representation of the surface is shown on a monitor screen.

Once selected by the operator, the leveler backups adjustand immediate improvement will be seen on themonitor. If further adjustment is needed, another suggestion will appear. Once the material is flat within I-Unit standards, the software will continuously monitor the material.
