There are three mainstream types of shear machines widely applied in cut-to-length lines, with distinct features and applicable scenarios:
Fly Shear (Rotary Shear)/Moving shear
It cuts materials while the line keeps running continuously. Features high speed and high efficiency, ideal for high-volume production of thin and medium-thickness metal sheets.
Pendulum Shear
The blade swings up and down to complete shearing. It has simple structure, stable performance and affordable cost, commonly used for medium-speed processing of general carbon steel sheets.
Guillotine Shear (Gate Shear)
The blade moves vertically in a straight line. It delivers outstanding cutting rigidity and precision, suitable for thick plates, high-strength steel and sheets with strict flatness requirements.
Stop Shear(similar type 3)
The mass market cutting method is economical, fast and convenient . It delivers outstanding cutting rigidity and precision, suitable for thin coils, thick plates, high-strength steel coils, with strict flatness requirements.
