Cut to Length (CTL) and Slitting Machines are essential pieces of equipment in the metal processing industry, designed to handle coils of metal and prepare them for further manufacturing processes.

Types of Cut to Length & Slitting Machine

As an indispensable machinery for metal sheet processing, metal coil cut to length and slitting machine has the following types:

1. Steel slitting machine which is only for slitting the steel coils from big coil to various width strips and recoiling; 

2. Cut to length machine is for cutting the steel coil into different length of pieces;

3. Combined cutting to length and slitting machine which has both functions of slitting to strips and cutting to lengths.

Differences Between Cut to Length Machine and Slitting Machine

Steel cut-to-length and slitting machines serve distinct purposes in the metal processing industry. Cut-to-length machines are designed to produce flat sheets of steel in specific lengths, while slitting machines are designed to produce narrow strips of steel from wider coils.

  • Understanding the differences between these machines helps businesses select the right equipment for their specific production needs, enhancing efficiency and achieving high-quality output;

  • Cut-to-Length Machine: To uncoil, straighten, and cut steel coils into flat sheets of specified lengths;

  • Slitting Machine: To slit a wide coil of steel into narrower strips.

Precision and Tolerances of Cut to Length & Slitting Machine


  • Cut-to-Length Machine

Precision: High precision in cutting length, with tight tolerances to ensure consistent sheet dimensions.

Tolerances: Typically tighter tolerances for length and flatness.


  • Slitting Machine

Precision: High precision in slitting width, with adjustable blade spacing to achieve desired strip widths.

Tolerances: Typically tighter tolerances for width and edge quality.


Safety Systems for Cut to Length & Slitting Machine

Safety is paramount when operating steel cut-to-length and slitting machines due to the high-speed, high-force nature of these processes. Below are the key safety systems and features that we have:

  • Emergency Stop Buttons: It is a large, easily accessible button that immediately halt machine operation when pressed;

  • We have advanced PLC control systems that manage machine operations and safety features and the touch screen can provides real-time feedback which the operate can press the emergency button for stop the machine running.
