Cut-To-Length
The Cut-To-Length process at Heidtman Steel delivers steel sheets tailored to your exact size specifications. With precision cutting and consistent quality, we provide flat, ready-to-use steel that saves time and improves efficiency in your production processes.
About This Process
Cut-To-Length (CTL) is a steel processing method where steel coils are unrolled, leveled, and cut into flat sheets of specified lengths. This process ensures the steel meets exact dimensional requirements with superior flatness and surface quality. CTL is essential for industries that need pre-sized steel sheets for efficient production.
- Converts steel coils into flat sheets of specific lengths and dimensions.
- Ensures tight tolerances for consistent and reliable results.
- Produces sheets with superior flatness and surface quality.
- Reduces waste and speeds up production by delivering ready-to-use materials.
