<p>Machine for leveling a strip of material comprising: a lower fixed back plate (1) from which extend a plurality of vertical beams (2a, 2b), the beams being located on either side of a longitudinal axis of movement of the strip of material, a lower fixed leveling cassette (5b), during operation of the leveling machine, the lower fixed leveling cassette (5b) bearing against the fixed back plate (1), an upper leveling cassette (5a), each cassette having a plurality of rollers (51a, 51b) spaced out and mounted rotatingly in bearings (52) on axes perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of movement (P) of the material, characterized in that the leveling machine also includes: an upper fixed back plate (11) rigidly connected to the vertical beams (2a, 2b) and rigidly attached to the upper extremity of each beam (2a, 2b), movable means (9) for coupling the upper leveling cassette (5a) to the upper back plate (11) enabling movement of the upper leveling cassette, means (10) for moving the upper leveling cassette (5a) in vertical translation in relation to the upper fixed back plate (11) between a resting position in which the rollers (51a) of the upper leveling cassette (5a) are not close to the rollers (51b) of the lower leveling cassette (5b) and a leveling position in which the rollers of the upper leveling cassette are close to the rollers of the lower leveling cassette in order to cause the strip to follow an undulating route.</p> |
