ON THE FLYING SHEAR USED FOR CONTINUOUS ROLLING

Abstract

The flying shear used for the continuous rolling is required to shear off the end of steel shapes and to cut out standard lengths at behind the finishing rolling mill and to be precise according with different finishing lengths and different rolling speeds. Therefore special care is necessary for the design and manufacture. The author concisely explained different kinds of flying shears used at present and described the structure, behaviour, control and design of an example of the reciprocal type flying shear.
