Cut-to-Length Line is widely used in coil processing industries, but their application in the HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) and home appliance sectors is particularly significant. These industries demand and high precision, clean surface quality, and efficient sheet production. In this article, we'll explore how Cut-to-Length Line support the manufacturing of air conditioners, refrigerators, wasing machines, and more - and why choosing the right machine is crucial to your production success.
Why Are CTL Lines Important for HVAC and Home Appliances?
Both HVAC systems and home appliances require metal sheet components that are:
A well-designed cut-to-length line can meet all these requirements with high reliability and automation.
How Does a Cut-to-Length Line Work?
A CTL line processes metal coils into sheets of precise length and flatness. Here’s a quick overview:
-
Decoiling – Coil is fed into the line.
-
Leveling – A precision leveler removes coil set and waviness.
-
Measuring – Encoder tracks exact length.
-
Cutting – Rotary or flying shear makes clean cuts.
-
Stacking – Sheets are stacked and ready for stamping or forming.
