Flying Shear
Flying Shear Product Advantages
1. High-Precision Cutting
Dynamic Tracking Cutting: Synchronizes with the production line to achieve precise cutting during high-speed movement, with an error margin within ±0.5mm.
Intelligent Positioning: Real-time feedback from encoders or laser distance measurement ensures smooth cuts and minimizes material waste.
2. High-Efficiency Production
Continuous Operation: Cutting can be performed without stopping the production line, significantly improving efficiency (e.g., steel rolling lines can reach speeds of 20m/s or higher).
Rapid Response: Servo-driven or hydraulic systems complete shearing actions in milliseconds, meeting high-frequency production demands.
3. Strong Flexibility
Multi-Specification Adaptability: Adjust cutting length and angles (e.g., right angle, bevel, arc) via programming, eliminating the need for mold changes.
Wide Material Compatibility: Suitable for steel plates, rods, pipes, copper, aluminum, and even complex cross-section profiles (e.g., H-beams).
4. Energy Saving & Reduced Waste
Low-Inertia Design: Optimized mechanical structure reduces kinetic energy loss, saving 30%+ energy compared to traditional shears.
Waste Control: Precise cutting minimizes burrs, improving material yield (e.g., 99.2% yield for silicon steel sheets).
5. Smart Integration
Automated Coordination: Interfaces with PLC & MES systems for automatic length measurement, counting, and fault diagnosis.
Parameter Memory: Stores multiple process configurations for quick switching between production needs.
6. Durability & Low Maintenance
High-Strength Materials: Blades use tungsten carbide or ceramic coatings, extending lifespan by 3-5 times.
Modular Design: Key components (e.g., bearings, hydraulic valves) allow quick replacement, reducing downtime by 70%.
Industry Application Cases
Steel Industry: Hot-rolled strip flying shears achieve ±0.3mm precision, becoming standard in million-ton annual production lines.

With the rise of Industry 4.0, its smart manufacturing potential will further expand.
Flying Shear Product Details
1. Product Overview
A flying shear is an advanced industrial cutting machine designed for high-speed, continuous shearing of metal strips, bars, pipes, and profiles in motion. It is widely used in steel rolling mills, non-ferrous metal processing, paper manufacturing, and battery electrode production due to its precision, efficiency, and automation capabilities.
