Light gauge cut to length machine is an efficient equipment for processing metal coils into required lengths. Through a series of operations such as uncoiling, leveling, and cutting, the shearing line can transform large coils of metal materials into metal sheets suitable for downstream processing or direct use. This equipment plays an important role in modern manufacturing and is widely used in multiple industries to meet the needs of different customers.
The main purpose of light gauge ctl line is to accurately shear metal coils to generate metal sheets of specific sizes. This process usually includes the following steps:
1. Uncoiling: Unroll the metal coil from the roll and prepare for subsequent processing.
2. Leveling: Through the leveling machine, the warping and deformation of the metal coil during the coiling process are eliminated to ensure the accuracy of subsequent shearing.
3. Cutting: Cut the metal material into specific sizes according to the length required by the customer.
The flexibility and efficiency of the light gauge cut to length machine enable it to play an important role in different manufacturing environments. It not only improves production efficiency, but also reduces labor costs. It is an indispensable equipment in modern production lines.

2. Different coil thicknesses
According to the thickness of different metal coils, BRUTE STEEL SLITTER has produced three types of light gauge cut to length lines to meet different production needs:
- Light gauge ctl line: It can handle metal coils with a thickness of 0.3-3mm, suitable for light metal processing, and widely used in the electronics and home appliance industries.
- Medium gauge ctl line: It can handle metal coils with a thickness of 0.3-6mm, suitable for automobile and machinery manufacturing, providing good shearing accuracy and production efficiency.
-Heavy gauge ctl line: It can process metal coils with a thickness of 6-20mm, suitable for the processing of heavy structural parts, such as the construction and shipbuilding industries, and can meet the needs of high-strength and large-scale production.
3. Different shearing methods
BRUTE STEEL SLITTER provides light gauge cut to length lines with various shearing methods to meet the different production needs of customers:
- Flying shear light gauge cut to length machine: Shearing is performed by high-speed flying shears, which is suitable for rapid production and large-scale processing, ensuring high efficiency and high precision.
- Rotary shear light gauge ctl line: Rotary cutters are used for shearing to achieve uninterrupted shearing without stopping the material, thereby minimizing the indentation of the plate when the shearing is started.
- Fixed shear light gauge cut to length machine: The metal plate is stopped by the servo system at the moment of shearing, and then removed by the servo system after shearing. Due to the shutdown processing during shearing, the production efficiency is lower than other shearing types.
