What is a Heavy Gauge Cut to Length Line?

Heavy Gauge Cut to Length Line is an industrial production line used to uncoil, level, and cut thick metal coils into flat sheets of specific lengths. Compared with a standard CTL line, it features stronger mechanical structures, higher-powered components, and enhanced leveling capacity to process thicker coils efficiently. 

 

Key Features and Technical Highlights

• Processing range: Suitable for 4.0-12.0mm thickness metal coils, including carbon steel, hot-rolled steel, and stainless steel
• Line speed: Operates at 0-30m/min, with stepless speed regulation to ensure cutting accuracy and safety during heavy material handling
• Main leveler: Achieve better leveling results, the line can be equipped with 6-roll leveler instead of the standard 4-roll design. This ensures superior flatness even for high-strength materials.
• Robust shear system: Hydraulic shearer is built for heavy-duty performance, capable of cutting thick plates smoothly without distortion.
• Durable frame structure: Reinforced frame and transmission system guarantee stability during continuous operation.

 

Difference Between Heavy Gauge and Standard Cut to Length Line

 

Feature	Standard CTL Line	Heavy Gauge CTL Line
Coil Thickness	0.3–3.0mm	4.0–12.0mm
Line Speed	Up to 80m/min	Up to 30m/min
Leveler Type	4-roll leveler	6-roll or 7-roll leveler (optional)
Application	Light & medium sheet processing	Thick plate and structural steel processing
Machine Structure	Compact	Reinforced heavy-duty frame

While standard CTL lines focus on speed and efficiency for thinner coils, heavy gauge lines prioritize stability, strength, and leveling accuracy - essential for thick and high-tensile materials.

 

Applications:

Heavy gauge cut to length line  are windely used in:

• Shipbuilding and heavy machinery industries
• Steel structure fabrication
• Bridge and construction material production
• Automotive chassis and component manufacturing

These industries require thick, precisely leveled plates that can only be produced by heavy-duty cut to length system.

 

FAQ: Heavy Gauge Cut to Length Line

Q1: What materials can be processed?

A: The line can process hot rolled steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, and other heavy metal coils.

 

Q2: What is the key advantage of a 6-roll leveler?

A: Compared with the standard 4-roll leveler, 6-roll leveler provides more leveling rolls ensuring better leveling accuracy for thick or high-strength plates.

 

Q3: Can the system speed be adjusted?

A: Sure, the line uses variable frequency drive for stepless speed regulation (0-30m/min) to suit different material thickness and cutting requirements.

 

Q4: Is it possible to customize the machine?

A: Absolutely. KINBENZ offers customized heavy gauge cut to length line according to coil width, thickness, and output requirements.

 

Q5: How is safety ensured during operation?

A: The line is equipped with emergency-stop button, anti-slip rollers, and overload safeguards to guarantee operator safety and long-term reliability.

 

Conclusion:

Heavy gauge cut to length line is the backbone of thick metal coil processing. With its powerful frame, high-precision leveling, and flexible cutting speed, it ensures consistent output and superior flatness for the most demanding industrial applications.
