Cut to length machine

A cut to length machine (CTL line) processes flat metal coils into precisely sized flat sheets by uncoiling, leveling, and shearing coil stock at programmed lengths. These lines serve steel distributors, construction material suppliers, and fabricators who need standard or custom-length flat sheets for downstream processing or direct sale. CTL lines handle galvanized steel, cold-rolled steel, stainless steel, and aluminum in thickness ranges from 0.3 to 6.0mm, with rotary or hydraulic shear options matched to throughput and material demands.

Core advantages:

• Precise sheet length cutting with ±0.5mm tolerance

• Processing range: 0.3–6.0mm steel, stainless, and aluminum coils

• High-speed rotary shear or hydraulic shear cutoff options

• Automatic stacking and bundle packaging for shipment-ready output

• PLC-controlled length, quantity, and batch programming

FAQ: What is the difference between rotary shear and hydraulic shear CTL lines? — Rotary shear (flying shear) cuts at line speed for high-throughput thin-sheet production; hydraulic shear stops the strip for each cut, suited for thicker material (3–6mm) where cutting precision outweighs speed priority.
