Introduction to Automatic Cut to Length Line
A automatic cut to length machine is a fully solution that integrates uncoiling, precision leveling, CNC servo feeding, and hydraulic shearing. Specifically designed to process metal coils with thicknesses ranging from 0.2 to 25 mm, it enables high-speed, precise, and high-volume production of sheet metal while ensuring surface protection. As a supplier of automatic cut to length lines, KINGREAL SLITTING offers customized automatic cut to length machine solutions with a variety of parameters and performance characteristics.
KINGREAL SLITTING automatic cut to length lines can process a wide range of metal materials, including stainless steel, steel, aluminum, copper, hot-rolled, cold-rolled, and PPGI. This makes the automatic cut to length machine extremely flexible and adaptable to diverse application scenarios. When designing automatic cut to length lines, KINGREAL SLITTING engineers can customize coil widths based on customers' specific production needs and provide automatic cut to length machine manufacturing solutions for various shearing methods, including fly shearing, rotary shearing, swing shearing, and fixed shearing.
Technical Advantages of KINGREAL SLITTING Automatic Cut to Length Line
1
Intelligent control for automatic cut to length line
The automatic cut to length machine utilizes advanced servo NC closed-loop control technology, coupled with a PLC servo control system. The operator interface features a main console and an unwinding console, supporting manual/automatic switching.
By inputting parameters via the touchscreen, users can precisely control the cut-to-length (various sizes, including 500-6500mm) and cut-to-length tolerances (≤±0.3mm/2.0mm, ≤±0.5mm/2.5mm). This high-precision cut-to-length process ensures consistent product dimensions and significantly improves production efficiency.

Efficient processing for automatic cut to length line
During processing, the automatic cut to length machine utilizes a four-roller leveling machine (19-roller leveling machine). The leveling rollers undergo multiple processes, including precision turning and tempering, resulting in excellent surface hardness and smoothness, effectively eliminating unevenness in the metal sheet.
During the shearing process, the automatic cut to length line can achieve stepless speed adjustment from 0 to 70 m/min, and the belt threading speed can reach 0 to 150 m/min. Combined with efficient material collection and conveying mechanisms, this enables continuous production and significantly improves processing efficiency.

Comprehensive protection for automatic cut to length line
The automatic cut to length machine is equipped with pneumatic stoppers, chrome-plated/polyurethane-coated leveling rollers, a material receiving rack, and a blower to protect the sheet metal surface from scratches and dents throughout the entire process, from feeding to processing to discharging.
This comprehensive protection allows the automatic cut to length line to adapt to orders with varying surface quality requirements and meet customers' stringent quality demands.
How Does Automatic Cut to Length Line Produce High-precision Metal Sheet?
The automatic cut to length machine's ability to produce high-precision metal sheet is primarily due to the coordinated function of its various precision components. The following are some key components:
Storage table and loading trolley for automatic cut to length line
The storage table and loading trolley conveniently store and transfer coils, improving loading efficiency and accommodating a wide range of coil sizes. This design effectively reduces production delays caused by improper loading and improves production efficiency.
Double-head uncoiler & unwinder for automatic cut to length line
The double-head uncoiler and unwinder ensure stable coil unwinding. Combined with the unwinding and coil-holding devices, they ensure the proper tension. This design not only facilitates coil unwinding and support, but also ensures stable unwinding and accommodates various coil outer diameters.
Leveler (19 Rollers) for automatic cut to length machine
The leveler, with its four-roller structure, precisely levels sheet metal. The large number of support rollers and their strategically arranged layout effectively ensure effective leveling and the production of high-quality sheet metal.
Edge trimmer and scrap remover for automatic cut to length line
The upper and lower circular knives of the edge trimmer and scrap remover slit and trim the sheet metal edges, completing cut-to-length cutting and scrap removal. The high precision and durability of these key components make them suitable for processing sheet metal of varying thicknesses.
Conveyor for automatic cut to length machine
The conveyor on the automatic cut to length line utilizes a welded steel frame and a belt drive, equipped with a variable-frequency motor. The belt design prevents scratches on the metal sheet, while the variable-frequency motor matches the shearing machine speed, ensuring stable and continuous conveying.
Flyover (for looping) for automatic cut to length machine
The flyover controls the synchronization and buffering of the steel belt speed between the slitter and feeder, ensuring overall coordination of the automatic cut to length line.
Stacker for automatic cut to length machine
The stacking device features a high-efficiency stacking design, welded channel steel structure, and coordinated pneumatic and hydraulic operation. The air cushion and photoelectrically controlled lift design allow for orderly collection of metal sheet, improving storage and transfer efficiency.
NC length-scaling machine and five-roller finishing machine
The NC length-scaling machine and five-roller finishing machine combine to achieve precise measurement and leveling. The steel plate frame is equipped with measuring rollers (closed-loop sizing with a high-precision encoder), controlled by a 15-inch touch screen and driven by a 55kW AC servo motor. This design enables efficient operation of length measurement, hydraulic cutting control, and secondary leveling, ensuring precise sizing and convenient operation.
High-speed hydraulic motor shear for automatic cut to length line
The high-speed hydraulic motor shear in the automatic cut to length line features a heavy-duty frame and dual high-torque hydraulic motors. The automatic cut to length machine's shearing machine operates from bottom to top (with a belt-protected mechanism). Forced lubrication and interchangeable four-sided shears ensure an optimal balance between cutting efficiency and cost.
Electrical system for automatic cut to length machine
The electrical system of the automatic cut to length line features intelligent coordination and integrates advanced control components, including parameter setting, fault alarms, and automatic counting. The user interface is available in both Chinese and English, adapting to the needs of customers in different countries and regions.
