Crop Shear
A crop shear is a type of industrial cutting machine that cuts (or "crops") lengths of metal — typically at the beginning or end of a coil, bar, or strip — to remove defective, uneven, or out-of-tolerance material before further processing.
- Hydraulic and mechanical crop shear designs available
- Single rake or double rake cutter bars
- Up or down-cut capabilities
- Simple compact designs allow retrofit into existing lines
- Heavy-duty welded steel construction
- Squaring shears for strip welder applications
Flying Shear
A flying shear is a cutting machine that shears metal sheets, coils, or bars while the material is still moving, all without stopping production.
- Hydraulic and mechanical flying shear designs available
- Hydraulic or servo line speed matching controls, custom for your application
- Adjustable knife gap options available
- Complete controls packages as requested by our customers
Zip Shear, Drum Shear and Rotary Shear
Zip shears, drum shears, and rotary shears each represent distinct cutting configurations used in metal processing lines, varying in blade design, motion type, and the specific production demands they're built to meet.
- Compact zip shears can be installed in many areas with limited space
- Rotary shear and drum shear machines engineered to be versatile and high speed
A toggle shear can achieve 100 cuts per minute on lighter gauge materials, up to 0.375” thick, which is faster than traditional hydraulic shears.
