Multi-Blanking & Cut to Length Steel Sheet
With Chesterfield’s multi-blanking & cut to length (CTL) processing, you can get metal sheets and blanks cut to your exact specifications. Cut to Length processing is used to process metals into specific lengths and pieces for further processing. Multi-blanking processing combines both slit-to-width and cut-to-length processes in one, providing cost-efficient custom slit blanks or sheets from coiled stock. Chesterfield can provide multi-blanking & cut to length processing to meet your exact specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is cut-to-length?
A: Cut-to-length steel coil processing is a manufacturing process where large coils of steel are unrolled, flattened, and cut into precise lengths according to customer specifications. This process is commonly used in industries such as construction, automotive manufacturing, appliance production, and metal fabrication.
Q: What is multi-blanking?
A: Multi-blanking refers to a process that combines slit-to-width and cut-to-length processes in one, providing cost-efficient custom slit blanks or sheets from coiled stock. Chesterfield can provide multi-blanking and cut-to-length processing to meet your exact specifications.
Q: What are the benefits of cut-to-length and multi-length processing?
A: These processes have many benefits such as reducing processing time, less scrap, streamlining material flow, and minimizing material handling to preserve top and bottom surfaces.
