Compact, Accurate Coil‑to‑Blank Solutions for High‑Speed Production

PRI offers a range of Rapid‑Air Cut‑To‑Length (CTL) Machines designed for precise feeding and clean shearing of coil stock in a compact, efficient footprint. These systems combine Rapid‑Air’s proven air‑feed or servo‑feed technology with a cutting station to deliver reliable, repeatable blank production for stamping, fabrication, and automated processing lines.

Whether you need a simple cut‑off solution or a fully integrated CTL line, Rapid‑Air systems provide the accuracy, durability, and flexibility required for modern manufacturing.

System Overview

Rapid‑Air CTL machines are built around two core feed technologies:

Air‑Feed CTL Models

  • Cost‑effective and dependable
  • Ideal for moderate‑speed applications
