Cut-to-Length Lines

A CUT-TO-LENGTH LINE takes flat-rolled steel, or steel coils, unrolls it, levels it and cuts it to desired length as a sheet. Cut-to-Length lines are also known as blanking lines, level lines or shear lines. Cut-to-length lines or CTL lines can be start and stop, such as in heavy gauge metal processing which process materials up to 1" thick. Or, cut-to-length lines can operate as a free loop on lighter gauge materials up to 0.06" thick.The basic parameters of cut-to-length lines (CTL Lines) are steel coil width, coil weight, material type, minimum and maximum thickness, tolerance, finished sheet length range and desired flatness.
