At KINBENZ, our high-precision and fully automatic cut to length lines are designed to deliver accurate, efficiency, and reliable cutting solutions for the automotive manufacturing process.

 

What is a Cut to Length Line?

A Cut to Length Line is an industrial production line that uncoils, levels, and cuts metal coils into flat sheets of required lengths. These sheets are then used in stamping, welding, or assembling different automobile components.

Our KINBENZ CTL lines can process a wide range of materials - cold-rolled steel, hot-rolled steel, stainless steel, galvanized steel, aluminum and copper - which are widely used in automotive production.

 

Why the Automobile Industry Needs Cut to Length Line

1. High Precision for Vehicle Components

Automotive manufacturers require extremely accurate sheet dimensions to ensure a perfect fit during assembly.

KINBENZ CTL lines are equipped with NC servo feeding systems, high-performance levelers, and rotary shear or stop shear cutting systems, guaranteeing excellent cutting accuracy and flatness for every sheet.

 

2. Full Automation for Higher Efficiency

Automation reduces labor costs and eliminates huamn error.

Our fully automatic control system - integrated with advanced PLC and HMI - manages every stage from uncoiling to stacking, ensuring continuous, stable, and efficienct production.

This level of automation helps car manufacturers shorten production cycles while maintaining consistent quality.

 

3. Flexible and Customizable Design

Different car models require various sheet thickness and materials.

KINBENZ provides customized cut to length line solutions that match each client's production requirements - whether it's for thin aluminum sheets for body panels or thick carbon steel sheets for chassic parts.

Our lines can handle a wide range of coil thickness, from 0.3mm to 12mm, and acheive speeds up to 80m/min depending on material type.

 

4. Enhanced Productivity

With automatic stacking systems and smooth coil handling, our CTL lines minimize downtime and maximize throughput.

This is especially important for automotive suppliers who must meet large-volume and time-sensitive production schedules.

 

Common Applications in Automobile Industry

KINBENZ Cut to Length Lines are used to produce:

• Car body penels (doors, roofs, hoods, fenders)
• Chassis and underbody parts
• Inner structural reinforcements
• Electrical shielding panels and brackets
• Decorative trim or stainless components

The flat sheets processed by CTL lines are then stamped, formed, or welded into finished parts used across the entire vehicle structure.

 

FAQ: Cut to Length Lines in the Automotive Sector

Q1: What coil thickness is most commonly used for car manufacturing?

A: Most automobile body panels use thin sheets from 0.3mm to 3.0mm. However, thicker materials (up to 6mm or even 12mm) are often used for structural or chassis components.

 

Q2: Can one CTL line handle both aluminum and steel coils?

A: Yes. KINBENZ CTL line can process multiple materials including stainless steel, aluminum and copper under the same thickness range requirements.

 

Q3: How does KINBENZ ensure precision cutting for high-end automotive production?

A: Our lines use NC servo control, hydraulic precision shearing, and automatic synchronization systems to guarantee accuracy within ±0.2mm.

 

Q4: What makes KINBENZ CTL line suitable for the automobile industry?

A: High precision, stable performance, full automation, and flexible customization make KINBENZ CTL lines and ideal choice for automotive sheet metal production.

 

Conclusion:

With KINBENZ Cut to Length Line's high precision, automation, and customization, KINBENZ Cut to Length Line helps automakers produce reliable, high-quality components efficiently - driving innovation and performance on the road.
