Precision Steel Processing Equipment — Sourced, Sold & Supported.
From cut-to-length lines and slitting lines to roll-forming equipment, VX Machinery supplies quality used processing machinery for the steel, aluminum, copper, and brass industries worldwide.
Cut-to-Length Lines (CTLs)
A CTL, or cut-to-length line, serves the primary function of slicing metal sheets or coils into predetermined sizes — such as steel, aluminum, or copper. This equipment finds widespread application in construction, automotive, HVAC, metal crafting, and agriculture.
These lines are instrumental in creating building components like roofing, siding, floor decking, and framing — currently seeing a surge in demand across the construction sector. They also play a critical role in the automotive industry, aiding in the fabrication of body panels, vehicle frames, and structural reinforcement components.
Suppose your business is considering acquiring a cut-to-length line for your production site or factory. In that case, you can trust the specialists at VX Machinery to assist you in selecting the most suitable machinery for your unique requirements. We take pride in offering competitively priced, pre-owned industrial machinery, and we stand behind the quality of each piece of equipment.

Slitting Lines
Slitting lines are indispensable in the metalworking sector, where they serve the vital function of accurately shearing and cutting sheet metal into precise dimensions. Slitter lines perform longitudinal cutting of a steel master coil to create narrower segments known as “mults,” utilized in metal stamping, roll-forming, and more.
The Slitting Process
- 1Load master coil onto the uncoiler
- 2Guide material through edge alignment
- 3Advance to the slitter head for cutting
- 4Trim coil edges & collect scrap
- 5Wind finished mults onto the recoiler
Downstream Applications
- Metal Stamping
- Roll-Forming Operations
- Tube & Pipe Mills
- Automotive Blanking
- Metal Distribution & Service Centers
At VX Machinery, we offer an extensive array of slitting line machines. The process commences with loading the metal coil onto the uncoiler, guiding it through edge alignment, and advancing it to the slitter. Following the slitting process, the coil’s edges are trimmed and any waste material is collected. Ultimately, the slit mults are neatly wound onto the recoiler, all set for the subsequent production stages.
Our slitting lines handle a wide range of material thicknesses and widths, and our team can help you identify a machine matched precisely to your production specifications. If you’re searching for reliable, pre-owned slitting lines, we invite you to explore our extensive collection and contact us today.
Key Components
Holds and feeds the master coil into the line under precise, controlled tension.
Houses circular blades spaced to perform longitudinal cuts and create mults of exact widths.
Collects edge trim and scrap material cleanly without interrupting the production process.
Winds finished slit mults onto separate mandrels, ready for downstream processing.
Roll Forming Equipment
Roll-forming equipment is designed to convert lengthy metal strips — typically coiled steel — into specific cross-sectional configurations. Fixed rollers positioned at multiple stations progressively bend the metal at room temperature, making these machines ideal for high-volume, precision profile production.
At each roller station, incremental bends are made, gradually achieving the desired cross-sectional shape without altering the material’s overall area. These machines are exceptionally well-suited for mass-producing parts or crafting elongated components. Moreover, roll-forming machinery can also perform in-line tasks like material cutting and roll punching, eliminating secondary operations.
If you’re searching for high-quality, pre-owned roll-forming equipment, look at our offerings. Reach out to our knowledgeable team today, and let us assist you in finding the ideal equipment solution to meet your specific requirements. We source roll formers of all configurations — from simple open profiles to complex custom shapes.
In-Line Capabilities
Fixed roller stations progressively bend metal to achieve precise open or closed cross-sectional profiles.
In-line notching and punching operations eliminate secondary processing steps and reduce cycle time.
Flying or stop-and-cut shear systems deliver precise finished part lengths at full production speed.
Continuous punching operations integrated directly into the roll-forming process for high-output production.
