What are Cut-to-Length Lines?
Cut-to-Length Lines are innovative machine solutions used to precisely cut and stack strip materials such as steel, aluminum, or copper. They are used in numerous industries, from the automotive industry to metal processing, where they ensure maximum efficiency and quality in production.
Advantages of modern Cut-to-Length Lines
- Highest precision: State-of-the-art control systems enable millimeter-precise cuts and exact angularity of the blanks.
- Maximum efficiency: Automated processes and fast setup times significantly increase productivity.
- Reduced waste: Precise machining minimizes material loss and thus contributes to cost savings.
- Flexibility: Cut-to-Length Lines process a wide variety of material thicknesses, widths, and alloys, including high-strength steels and sensitive surfaces.
- Space-saving design: New construction methods require less floor space, thereby maximizing production space.
Areas of application
- Automotive industry: Cutting sheet metal for doors, hoods, and other body parts.
- Metalworking: Precision cutting of sheet metal
- Aerospace engineering:
Processing high-strength materials with tight dimensional tolerances.
Innovation: Laser technology in Cut-to-Length Lines
Modern Cut-to-Length Lines are increasingly relying on laser technology, such as the Laser Blanking Line. This makes cutting even more flexible and efficient, and allows individual shapes and cutouts to be produced in a single operation. The system reduces the number of work steps, increases material utilization, and significantly shortens the length of the line compared to conventional cutting systems.
