01
Flying shear
The strip keeps running while the shear travels with it and cuts on the fly. On the thin-gauge stainless machines a cut takes about 0.5 s and the shear can run up to 150 cuts a minute.
Solutions
Solutions for the coil you actually run
Start with the task — slit the coil into strips, or cut it into sheets. Then the gauge, then the shear. Everything below is the range we build, with the models that cover each band.
Step 1 · The task
Two things a coil processing line can do
Everything else — leveling, recoiling, stacking, the shear — follows from which of these two the finished product needs.
01 / Slitting
Slit wide coil into strips
The coil is uncoiled, leveled, slit to the strip widths the next process needs and rewound under tension. Scrap is wound separately so the strips stay clean.
See the slitting models
02 / Cut to length
Cut coil into flat sheets
The coil is uncoiled, leveled, measured and cut to length, then stacked as sheets. Rotary, flying and swing shear versions suit different thickness and surface needs.

Step 3 · The shear
Four ways to cut a sheet, chosen by the coil
On a cut to length line the shear decides the surface finish, the accuracy and the cycle time. These are the four we build.
02
Rotary shear
A rotary shear head is built for stainless coil: the 0.3–3 mm machine in the range takes strip up to 1650 mm wide. Cutting is continuous, so the line does not stop for every sheet.
Example builds
0.3–3 × 1650 mm
03
Swing shear
The swing shear cuts high-tensile coil into trapezoidal blanks rather than plain rectangles — the shape used for stamped parts such as automobile fenders and appliance panels.
Example builds
0.5–3.5 × 1650 mm
04
Stop shear
Pneumatic on thin sheet, hydraulic on thick: the line stops under encoder measuring, then the blade comes up through the sheet. This is the shear the heavy-gauge and heavy-duty lines use.
Custom configuration
When nothing on the list matches the coil
Lines are built to order, so the working range, the units and the shear are set per project rather than picked off a shelf. Five inputs are usually enough to start.

-
Material and grade
Carbon or stainless, and the grade you buy to — the heavy-duty lines are built around grades such as Q235, Q345 and S355.
-
Thickness and width
The coil you actually run, not the nominal range of a catalogue sheet.
-
Coil weight
Slitting line uncoilers are built for 15–20 t or 20–30 t coils, so the weight decides the uncoiler and the handling.
-
Finished product
Strip widths, or sheet length and the tolerance you have to hold on every sheet.
-
Site conditions
Power supply, floor space and lifting capacity where the line will stand.
Next step
Send the coil, not just the question.
Thickness, width, grade and the strip or sheet you need to end up with is enough to start. We will come back with the line configuration and the working range it has to cover.
