Dominio de la precisión con la línea de corte a medida de gran calibre de MaxDo

In the competitive world of steel processing, precision isn’t optional—it’s everything. As manufacturers face increasing demand for accuracy, heavy-gauge plate processing must combine speed, strength, and superior flatness. MaxDo’s Heavy Gauge Cut-To-Length (CTL) Line redefines performance, empowering producers to achieve unmatched sheet quality and efficiency across demanding industrial applications.

What Is a Heavy Gauge Cut-To-Length Line?

A Heavy Gauge Cut-To-Length Line is an automated coil processing system engineered to uncoil, level, measure, cut, and stack steel plates with extreme precision. Designed for thick materials ranging from up to 25 mm in thickness and 2,000 mm in width, these systems produce perfectly flat, stress-free blanks critical for heavy fabrication, shipbuilding, energy, and construction projects.

Unlike light-duty CTL setups, heavy-gauge systems maintain consistent accuracy and plate geometry even when processing coils weighing more than 40 metric tons—a critical advantage for modern fabrication speed and throughput.

How MaxDo’s CTL System Works

MaxDo integrates advanced automation and engineering design into one continuous workflow. Each stage of the process is monitored and optimized to minimize manual input and eliminate variability:

1. Uncoiling – Dual mandrel uncoilers ensure safe, stable unwinding of massive coils, featuring regenerative braking to recover energy during deceleration.
2. Leveling – A deep-plunge precision leveler eliminates coil memory and relieves internal stress, ensuring flat, stable plates.
3. Measuring & Shearing – Accu-Square servo-driven shears deliver consistent cutting accuracy within ±0.15 mm.
4. Stacking – Automatic high-speed stackers align and organize the final sheets without surface scratches or deformation.

Through synchronized control and smart automation, this process guarantees panel-flat output at maximum line speed and minimal operator involvement.

Key Performance Features

• Dual-Mandrel Uncoilers – Balanced control with regenerative braking for energy efficiency.
• Hands-Free Coil Loading – Fully automated loading and alignment to enhance worker safety and reduce changeover time.
• Heavy-Gauge Straightener – Deep-plunge design ensures flawless sheet flatness for materials up to 25 mm thick.
• Quick-Change Knife Cassettes – Minimize downtime during blade transitions for different plate specifications.
• Fully Automatic Stackers – Maintain stacking integrity at high speeds.
• Loop or Flying Shear Operation – Select between speed-focused mode and accuracy-focused mode for custom production needs.

Combined with MaxDo’s proprietary Stretcher Leveling Integration, users can achieve memory-free plates ideal for fiber laser cutting, forming, or precision welding operations.
