The cut-to-length process involves slicing large metal coils into manageable lengths. This process incorporates several large machines, together known as a "cut to length line".

This process is perfect for hard or thick materials like steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. Cut-to-length machines work quickly and can accommodate precise measurements, so it’s an ideal cutting method for many different applications. Many materials are perfect for the length line, which is one of the reasons it’s such a popular process.

The most common raw materials used in cut-to-length processing are aluminum and steel. These metals hold up well throughout the coiling, uncoiling, cutting, and stacking phases. They’re also easily processed after they’ve been cut into workable sheets. After they go through the cut to length line, they can be turned into a variety of different products.
