Steel cut to length lines are designed specifically for sheet metal production. These steel cut to length lines process metal coils by uncoiling, straightening, cutting to length, and stacking metal sheets and offer automated control, ensuring precise feeding, leveling, and cutting for a wide range of industries. In modern metalworking, the introduction of steel cut to length lines into their operations has helped many factories reduce sheet processing costs. These steel cut to length machine also provide flexible inventory and production planning, allowing them to produce the desired sheet sizes when needed.
Steel cut to length machines typically flatten and cut metal coils ranging in thickness from 0.2 to 25 mm into customer-specified lengths. A complete steel cut to length line consists of a loading trolley, decoiler, guide device, leveling machine, movable bridge, guide and correction device, cut-to-length machine, conveyor table, pneumatic stacking frame, hydraulic lift and stacking platform, material transport roller table, hydraulic system, electrical control system, and other components, all coordinated by a PLC. This steel cut to length machine can process a variety of metal coils, including cold-rolled carbon steel coils, stainless steel coils, and non-ferrous metal coils. It can also be equipped with six-, four-, or two-stage levelers, depending on customer needs and workpiece processing requirements.
– Decoiler and loading trolley for steel cut to length line
KINGREAL STEEL SLITTER steel cut to length machines offer varying capacity ranges. The decoiler and loading trolley are configured based on the required working width and coil outer diameter. Therefore, KINGREAL STEEL SLITTER can equip steel cut to length lines with decoilers and loading trolley up to 30 tons.
– Straightener for steel cut to length machine
For steel cut to length lines, KINGREAL STEEL SLITTER engineers provide customers with straighteners based on the raw material being processed. The number of rollers and operating mode of the straightener vary depending on factors such as material thickness and tensile strength. KINGREAL STEEL SLITTER engineers provide the optimal straightening solution based on the customer's steel cut to length machine operations.
– Coil feeder for steel cut to length line
Coil feeders ensure precise feeding. Utilizing servo motors, KINGREAL STEEL SLITTER steel cut to length machines can achieve extremely low feeding tolerances. KINGREAL STEEL SLITTER engineers can provide customers with individual straightener and feeder solutions tailored to the specific requirements of their steel cut to length lines.
– Cutting unit for steel cut to length line
For metal cut-to-length operations, the shearing unit type may vary. For example, for high-speed steel cut to length machines, KINGREAL STEEL SLITTER equips the steel cut to length line with either a rotary shear or a flying shear. For slow-speed steel cut to length machines, KINGREAL STEEL SLITTER provides a typical guillotine shear system, with hydraulic or eccentric shears available depending on the sheet thickness. Therefore, KINGREAL STEEL SLITTER can provide different metal cut-to-length machine manufacturing solutions based on the customer's steel cut to length machine requirements.
- Conveyor unit for steel cut to length line
The conveyor unit of a steel cut to length machine is primarily used to transport the cut steel plates to the stacking unit. It should be synchronized with the steel cut to length machine. The length of the conveyor unit on the control line can be adjusted to suit the maximum required cutting length of the steel cut to length line.
- Stacking unit for steel cut to length machine
The stacking unit is the final stage of the steel cut to length line. Furthermore, the type of stacking system varies depending on the steel plate cutting operation. The working system can be a vacuum system, a flapper system, a lifting system, or simply a basic metal work table. Based on the customer's metal cutting needs, KINGREAL STEEL SLITTER provides the optimal stacking unit solution for the steel cut to length machine.

KINGREAL STEEL SLITTER can provide customized steel cut to length machine manufacturing solutions based on the customer's actual production requirements and drawings. These solutions include equipping the steel cut to length line with two levelers, two stacking tables, and a laminating device. The most significant feature and function of a steel cut to length machine is shearing, and KINGREAL STEEL SLITTER offers various metal cut-to-length machine solutions for this purpose.
-Fixed shearing cut to length line
Fixed shearing cut to length machines are more cost-effective than continuous steel cut to length lines. After the coil is fed into the fixed shearing cut to length line, the machine stops. A fixed shear is activated and cuts the coil to the customer's pre-set length. Fixed shearing cut to length lines are generally suitable for customers with limited factory space and smaller production runs. Because they eliminate the need for a looper, this type of fixed shearing cut to length line offers lower initial costs. Steel cut to length machines equipped with a fixed-shearing system are also less expensive but also offer the lowest production efficiency. Furthermore, fixed shearing cut to length machines can damage thinner materials, as visible rolling marks may appear where the material remains in the straightener.
-Fly shearing cut to length line
In a fly shearing cut to length line, the coil is unwound by a decoiler and passed through a straightener. Then, based on the set thickness and cutting speed, the strip is fed into a looper at a constant rate to the desired depth. At the other end of the loop, a separate servo feeder measures the material and feeds it into the fly shearing system. The advantage of this fly shearing cut to length line is that it cuts coils without stopping and boasts high production speeds of up to 80 m/min.
-Swing shearing cut to length line
The swing shearing cut to length line allows for adjustable cutting angles, typically ranging from 90 degrees perpendicular to the strip to 30 degrees tangentially. It can cut metal coils into special shapes, such as rectangles, trapezoids, and parallelograms.
