Eran,
Our company develops and markets plates used at the offset DI printing industry for machine such as Karat 74 DI of KBA. We developing a new product based on Aluminum sheet. The Aluminum alloy type is 1050A H18 and thickness of 0.15mm (0.006 inch). It's not a gouge size but a millimeter standard. We receive the Aluminum Sheet as coil (coil width 770mm and diameter 1000mm). At the end of the process we cut it to pieces/plates. As a results of the sheet been at coil the pieces have an arc shape that we want to eliminate.
We are interested in a machine that can straighten the Al coil And plates. Most of the professional leveling machine builders can't handle material that thick (the minimum they can is 0.4mm). I would like to know what is the process and technology for straighten 0.15mm Al sheet and information on a company that build machine for the job.

Regards.
