Quick Turnaround and Delivery
Coil Shape Correction, Sheet Stress Relief, Flatness Matters!
Our processing lines improve coil quality by mitigating camber, oil canning, arbor breaks, edge wave and center buckle. Our unique stretch sequencing and precision leveling services reduce or eliminate internal stresses that cause spring back in coil, sheet, and flat parts. Traditional leveling can improve flatness up to 150/200 l-Units (wave peak to peak flatness measurement) and our stretch leveling can improve flatness up to 3OO0 l-Units. Eliminating material stresses and ensuring flatness allows for easier shearing, punching, laser cutting, forming and welding. There is less scrap and less customer machine down time!
Eliminate Trapped Sheet Stresses and Coil Shape Problems
Our unique stretcher line eliminates internal sheet stresses that cause springback. So shearing, punching, laser cutting, forming, and welding sheet is much easier. Our unique stretching sequence also eliminates coil quality defects including camber, arbor breaks, oil canning, edge wave and centerbuckle.
Reduction in Scrap Loss
Our special stretching sequence can correct prime and secondary coil conditions, outperforming most other leveling technologies. This results in lower scrap losses by reducing or eliminating defects that normally would need to be cut away.
Slitting/Edge Trimming
Our slitting line is one of the widest in the country and can process heavier gage materials. Paired with our other services, partnering with AUP will streamline your supply chain.
Buffing Services
Our buffing lines can accommodate widths up to 96˝ and lengths up to 480˝. The unique buffing heads and advanced controls are versatile, which ensures a consistent buffed finish that matches specific customer requirements.
Ancillary Services
AUP offers its’ customers Scrap Management, Quality Control Monitoring/Feedback, Customized Packaging, and Storage.
Exceptionally Flat and Square Sheets
Roller levelers can improve shape form by 150/200 I units. Stretch levelers can make shape improvements by up to 3000 I units. We have both capabilities, so no matter what your requirement, AUP will meet/exceed your expectations.
