Cut-To-Length Lines
A cut-to-length (CTL) or a blanking line unrolls and flattens a coil of material, cuts it into sheets of precise lengths and stacks those sheets into a bundle. Functions can include, but not be limited to, coil stocking and coil loading, uncoiling and coil opening, straightening of the leading edge of the coil, edge trimming, scrap balling, scrap cutting, and sheet stacking. In-line equipment used in a system can vary according to the width, thickness and incoming coil weight and may include coil storage, uncoiler and coil loading, leveler, flattener, dust collector, grip, roll feeds, shears, laser cutting system, sheet stacker and related tooling and accessories.

With more than 20 kilowatts of power available, cutting thickness limits can be pushed to as thick as 2”, allowing fabricators to bring the speed, precision and cutting quality of the laser to a new range of parts and products.
There is a direct relationship between laser machining and texturing capabilities and the manufacturing market’s demand for it. The more capacity, effectiveness and efficiency the technology gains, the more ways it will be industrialized and integrated into everyday use.
The advent of turnkey and completely integrated coil-fed laser processing systems promises to enable serious reductions in part costs.
Variable beam shaping fiber laser technology, and the redesign of automation solutions to better handle part sorting are among the advances that position Mazak Optonics for the future.
THOR F integrates plasma and oxyfuel cutting with an optional beveling system, and an optional tube and profile lathe. It also combines plate cutting with edge preparation and numerous mechanical machining operations, including milling, drilling, tapping, countersinking, marking, etc.
The Beamcut System 3D Robotic Profile Cutting Machine cuts any shape from mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum with high repeatability and accuracy. It eliminates costly layouts and grinding, simplifies fabrication, minimizes errors, and boosts production speeds.
