Side clipping shear blades

What do Side Clipping Shear Blades Mean?

“Side Clipping Shear Blades” are specialized cutting tools used in industrial applications, particularly in metalworking and continuous processing lines like cold rolling mills. Their primary function is to trim the edges (sides) of metal sheets or coils as they move through the production line. This process, known as side trimming or edge trimming, ensures a consistent width and removes any imperfections or unevenness from the edges of the metal. Side Clipping Shear Blades typically work in pairs, positioned on either side of the material flow. They are designed for continuous, high-speed operation and must maintain a precise and clean cut over extended periods. The shape and material of Side Clipping Shear Blades are critical for achieving accurate and burr-free edges, which are essential for downstream processes. These blades are also sometimes referred to as “edge trimming knives,” “side trimmers,” “strip edge cutters,” “notcher knives” (if they also perform notching for welding), or “side slitting knives” (though the focus is on the edge rather than multiple strips).

Uses and Applications of Side Clipping Shear Blades

Side Clipping Shear Blades are crucial in various continuous processing industries:

• Cold Rolling Mills: Used to trim the edges of steel or other metal coils after the rolling process, ensuring consistent width for subsequent processing.
• Slitting Lines: Employed to trim the edges of metal coils before or after the main slitting operation into narrower strips.
• Coil Processing Lines: Integrated into lines that process metal coils for various applications, providing precise edge conditioning.
• Fabrication de tubes et de tuyaux : Used to trim the edges of metal strips before they are formed and welded into tubes or pipes.
• Industrie automobile : Employed in the production of car body panels and other metal components where precise edge quality is required.
• Appliance Manufacturing: Used in the production of metal sheets for appliances, ensuring accurate dimensions and clean edges.
• Metal Packaging Industry: For processing metal sheets used in can manufacturing and other metal packaging.

In some continuous welding lines, Side Clipping Shear Blades may also perform a notching function to prepare the edges of the metal sheets for welding, ensuring a strong and accurate weld.

Common Materials for Side Clipping Shear Blades

The materials used to manufacture Side Clipping Shear Blades are selected for their high hardness, exceptional wear resistance to withstand continuous high-speed operation and contact with metal, and toughness to prevent chipping or cracking. Common materials include:

• Acier à haute teneur en carbone: Offers good hardness and can be heat-treated for durability, suitable for some applications with softer metals.
• Tool Steels (e.g., D2, M2, A2, SKD-11, Cr12MoV): Provide a superior balance of hardness, toughness, and wear resistance, making them suitable for a wide range of metal types and high-production environments.
• Acier rapide (HSS) (par exemple, M2, M4, SKH-51) : Offers excellent hardness and wear resistance, especially at higher operating temperatures, suitable for demanding, high-speed applications.
• Le carbure de tungstène: Provides the highest level of hardness and wear resistance, ideal for processing abrasive metals and for achieving extended blade life, reducing downtime in continuous operations. Often used as inserts or welded edges on steel bodies.

Heat treatment to achieve the optimal hardness and temper is a critical step in the manufacturing process of Side Clipping Shear Blades. Coatings, such as Chromium Nitride (CrN) or Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC), may be applied to further enhance surface hardness, reduce friction, and increase wear resistance, especially when processing high-strength or abrasive metals.

Common Shapes of Side Clipping Shear Blades

Side Clipping Shear Blades are typically designed as straight blades, but their specific geometry can vary to optimize the cutting process:

• Lames droites : The most common design, with a linear cutting edge that shears against a counter blade or another straight blade.
• Lames à bord biseauté : The cutting edge is angled to provide a cleaner shear and reduce the cutting force required. The bevel angle is specific to the type and thickness of the metal being processed.
• Square Edge Blades: Blades with a 90-degree edge, often used in specific cutting configurations.
• Notching Blades: Some side clipping blades may incorporate notches or shaped cutouts along the cutting edge to perform simultaneous edge trimming and notching for welding preparation.
• Lames segmentées : In some cases, the side clipping blade may be composed of multiple segments that can be individually replaced, reducing maintenance costs.

The mounting of Side Clipping Shear Blades is crucial for stability and precise alignment. They typically feature precision-machined surfaces and bolt holes for secure attachment to the shear housings in the processing line. The overall length and thickness of the blades are determined by the width of the material being processed and the design of the shearing mechanism.
