Light and Medium-Gauge Cut To Length Blanking Lines: Transform Your Metal Processing
MaxDo’s Light and Medium-Gauge Cut-To-Length Blanking Lines represent the next generation of intelligent coil processing systems—delivering precision, speed, and adaptability in a single platform.
In today’s competitive metal fabrication industry, production precision and efficiency define profitability. Modern manufacturers rely on Cut-to-Length (CTL) Blanking Lines to turn raw metal coils into precisely leveled, ready-to-use sheets. The latest Light and Medium-Gauge CTL systems from MaxDo Machine set a new standard for automation, flatness accuracy, and throughput across industries such as automotive, construction, and appliance manufacturing.
What Is a Cut-to-Length Blanking Line?
A Cut-to-Length Blanking Line converts coiled metal into flat sheets with uniform dimensions. The process involves feeding, leveling, and shearing metal coils into custom lengths, ensuring consistent squareness and surface quality. Unlike older hydraulic systems, MaxDo CTL Lines feature servo-controlled rollers and precision levelers, which maintain extreme tolerances of within ±0.1 mm even at high speed.
This continuous operation minimizes vibration and reduces internal stress, allowing processed materials to meet the flatness requirements of laser cutting, forming, and surface coating applications.
Light-Gauge CTL Lines: Precision and Speed for Thin Materials
Light-gauge CTL systems like the MD-850 and MD-1350 are engineered for high-speed production of thinner materials ranging from 0.2 mm to 3.5 mm in thickness. Capable of running up to 120 meters per minute, these lines are ideal for aluminum, pre-painted sheet steel, and galvanized materials.
Key benefits:
- Servo roller feed and tension control for consistent cut accuracy.
- No-slip material handling for flawless painted and coated surfaces.
- Hands-free coil threading and automatic stacking for lower labor requirements.
- Constant feedback loop between feed and shear stages for reliable edge precision.
For example, a European solar-mounting manufacturer installed the MD-1350 Light-Gauge CTL Line to eliminate warp issues in aluminum panel production. The upgrade improved material yield by 7% and reduced rework cycles to near zero.

Medium-Gauge CTL Lines: Power, Control, and Strength
When processing thicker or high-tensile materials, MaxDo’s MD-1650 and MD-2200 Medium-Gauge Lines deliver robust stability with thicker inputs up to 9.5 mm. These lines integrate torque-optimized servo drives and Hybrid Hydraulic Shear Systems, providing isotropic accuracy and minimizing shear-induced strain.
Performance highlights:
- Wide gauge range from 0.4 mm to 9.5 mm.
- Quick-Switch tooling design for coil width changes under five minutes.
- Real-time dynamic loop control for steady feed tension at high speed.
- Optional Smart Leveling Cassette to achieve stress-free flat sheets for structural steel and chassis parts.
A case study from an Australian heavy-equipment processor reported a 15% productivity increase upon adopting MaxDo’s MD-2200 CTL Line, benefiting from tighter thickness consistency across 4 mm–8 mm structural steel sheets.
How Do MaxDo CTL Blanking Lines Improve Production ROI?
Investing in a modern CTL line is not just a capacity upgrade—it’s a manufacturing transformation. MaxDo’s digital control platform combines precision mechanics with intelligent automation to deliver sustainable outputs:
| Optimization Factor | Result |
