Do you work with sheet metal and want to produce smarter? Then chances are a coil solution will make your production process more efficient, faster and more profitable. But what is a coil solution – and why do you need one? – and why should you invest in one?
What is a coil solution?
A coil solution is a machine or line setup that allows you to produce directly from a coiled coil (steel, aluminum, zinc, etc.). The coil is automatically unwound, aligned (flattened), cut to size and, if necessary, fed to a subsequent operation, such as setting or profiling.
A coil solution usually consists of:
- An uncoiler/decoiler
- An aiming unit to level the material
- A measuring and cutting unit (mechanical or motorized)
- Possibly a stacker or link with a typesetting machine or roll forming machine

π‘ Why choose a coil solution?
- Less handling, more speed
No more lifting loose sheets or cutting them to size – everything is automatic. - Less waste
You cut exactly the right length. That saves costs and waste material. - Constant quality
Flat and tight material, time after time. Ideal for follow-up production such as setting or edging. - Save time and staff
With one operator, you can easily run a fully automated line. - Saving space
No piles of sheets, but compact rolls that you process immediately.
π‘ Who is this of interest to?
- Roof and wall builders
- Typesetters and sheet metal workers
- Sheet metal workers who work with steel, aluminum or zinc on a daily basis
- Those who consume a lot of materials and want to save on purchasing and labor
π Example: Forstner COMPACT PRO
One popular solution is the Forstner COMPACT PRO. It combines straightening, measuring and cutting in one compact machine. Ideal for workshops with limited space and many changing orders.
Perfect to combine with a CIDAN typesetting bench.
