The Application Of Flying Shear

Flying Shear


The Application Of Flying Shear


The Flying Shear is a common industrial application in rolling mill production lines for cutting a product into smaller lengths, without stopping the line, this means that the main production process is not interrupted, and so machine productivity is maximized.

The cutting tool is typically mounted on a carriage that moves either parallel to the product flow or at an angle across the product flow. The flying shear drive accelerates the carriage to synchronize with the line speed, while synchronized the cut is done and the carriage then decelerates and returns to its original position ready to cut again. There are also many other similar applications where a carriage must be synchronized at line speed and most of these can also be accommodated using the flying shear application software.

Typical applications include various types of cut-to-length machines, depositors, punches, product inspection, or any other process where synchronization at line speed is required.

A machine extrudes plastic pipes that must be supplied to the customer in pre-cut lengths. The extrusion process requires the extruder to run at a continuous speed to maintain the quality of the product. The pipe is uniform along its length and provided the length is within a set tolerance then the pipe is fit for sale. The flying shear is used to cut the product cyclically.

The actual design of the machine that we observed in the mill was very large in size and it cut the hot billets of diameter 1\2 inch to 1 inch and length will be in several meters and it cost thousands of dollars we cannot make this machine as FYP. So according to the situation, we had to design a machine of a small size to cut something other than a hot billet. We chose the design of the printer as a model as the design idea was similar to the printer and select copper wire as a job. The sketch will be shown below.

What are Flying Shears?

Flying Shears

What are Flying Shears?

The shearing machine for rolled pieces in transverse shearing operation is called flying shear. It is a processing equipment which can cut off iron plate, steel pipe and paper roll quickly. It is a fixed-size shearing machine for metallurgical steel rolling industry, high-speed wire and threaded steel. It is a product of modern rolling bar shearing and has the characteristics of low power consumption and low investment cost.

Flying shear is an important equipment used for shearing metal billets in iron and steel enterprises, and its performance will directly affect the production efficiency of rolling production line. There are many structural forms of flying shear mechanism. In this chapter, four-link structure is used. Through simple three-dimensional modeling of the frame, upper and lower cranks, upper and lower links, upper and lower rockers and workpieces, assembly and simulation can be carried out to obtain the shear force that the workpiece is subjected to during the shearing process and the motion track of the two cutting edges.

Flying shear is installed on the rolling mill line to cross-cut the head and tail of a rolled piece or to cut it to a fixed length. During the movement of the rolled piece, the rolled piece is cut by relative movements of the cutting edges.

The mechanism sketch of the four-link flying shear mechanism is shown in Figure 1. It consists of the upper and lower shear mechanisms with the cutting edges fixed on the connecting rods of the four-link mechanism. In practical flying shear mechanisms, the driving force is input from the lower crank. The upper crank is driven to move at the same speed by a pair of helical gears with the same number of teeth. Every revolution of the crank, the mechanism shears the work-piece once. In order to simplify the structure and facilitate the measurement of shear force, the same amount of torque is added to both cranks in Figure 1 during simulation to reduce the modeling of helical gears.

Flying shear is commonly used in steel rolling, paper and other production lines. In continuous billet or small section workshops, it is positioned at the back of the rolling mill line, cutting the rolled pieces to size or only to the head and tail. Various types of flying shears are provided in the shearing, shearing, galvanizing and tin plating units of cold and tropical steel workshops to cut the strip into fixed-scale or steel coils of specified weight. The wide use of flying shear is conducive to the rapid development of high-speed and continuous steel rolling production. Therefore, it is one of the important links in the development of steel rolling production.

Flying Shear in Rolling Mill

Flying Shear


Flying Shear in Rolling Mill


Application and Classification of Flying Shear


The flying shears used to shear the rolling pieces in transverse motion are called rolling mill flying shears. With the development of continuous plate mill, section mill, and billet mill and the improvement of flying shear productivity, the application of flying shear is more and more widely. There are many types of flying shears, such as disc flying shears, double drum flying shears, crank rotary flying shears, and pendulum flying shears.


1. Disc Flying Shear

This kind of flying shear is generally used in the small rolling locomotive room. It is installed in front of the cooling bed to roughly cut the rolled piece, so that the rolled piece entering the cooling bed is not too long; Or it can be installed before the finishing mill to cut the ends of the rolled piece to ensure the smooth-rolling process of the finishing mill. The flying shear consists of two or more pairs of disc-shaped blades. The axis of the disc is equal to the movement speed of the steel. When the flying shear is in the original position, the steel will advance along the inlet duct to the left of the flying shear. When the steel acts on the flag switch or the light guide tube, the inlet tube and the steel incline to the right, and the steel go into the middle of the two discs for shearing. After the lower blade descends, the guide pipe makes the steel return to the original left position, and then the lower blade rises again. The disadvantage of this kind of flying shear is that the cut is inclined, but it has little effect on the cutting or rough cutting of rolled piece before the cooling bed. Because of its reliable operation, simple structure, and shearing speed of more than 10 m / s, it has been widely used in small rolling locomotives.


2. Double Drum Flying Shear

The double drum flying shear is widely used to cut the section steel and steel plate in motion. Its working principle is as follows: two blades are fixed radially on two rotating drums. The rolled piece moving along the roller table is sheared by two blades when passing between two rollers. The circular speed of the blade should be slightly greater than the moving speed of the rolled piece, otherwise, the rolled piece will be bent at the entrance during shearing. The disadvantage of this kind of flying shear is that the section is not smooth when cutting thick rolled pieces (it has too much influence on cutting thin rolled pieces); When the wide steel plate is sheared, the shear force is larger. Therefore, this kind of flying shear is used to shear small section steel and thin plate of high-speed rolling piece.


3. Crank Rotary Flying Shear

Its shearing mechanism is composed of four-bar linkage. The cutting edge moves approximately in-plane in the shearing area and is perpendicular to the surface of the rolled piece. Therefore, the cross-section of the rolled piece is relatively straight. The cutting mechanism of flying shear is composed of tool holder, eccentric sleeve and swing bar. One end of the tool holder is fixed on the eccentric sleeve, and the other end is connected with the swing rod. The swing fulcrum of the swing rod is hinged on the column. When the eccentric sleeve (crank) rotates, the tool holder moves in translation, and the blade fixed on the tool holder can be vertical or nearly vertical to the rolled piece. In order to reduce the shear force, the inclined blade can be used to shear the steel plate. The disadvantage of this kind of flying shear is that the structure is complex, the dynamic load characteristic of the cutting mechanism is poor, and the moving speed of the blade can not be too fast. It is generally used to shear thick steel plate or billet.


4. Swing Flying Shear

This kind of flying shear is sometimes used in the cross-cutting unit of continuous steel plate rolling locomotive. The blade of the flying shear also moves in translation, and the quality of the cutting plate is better. The upper tool rest is fixed on the swing frame. The swing frame is supported by the eccentricity of the spindle. There are two pairs of eccentricities on the spindle. The other pair of eccentricities is connected with the lower tool rest through the connecting rod. The lower tool rest can slide in the chute of the swing frame. Because the two pairs of eccentric positions on the spindle are 180 different °, Therefore, when the spindle rotates, the upper carriage will descend with the frame, while the lower carriage will rise to complete the shearing action. However, it can only shear the static rolled piece. In order to shear the moving workpiece, it is necessary to make the swing frame swing back and forth. The lower part of the swing frame is hinged with an eccentric rod, and the eccentric wheel is installed on the rear axle. The rear axle is connected with the main shaft through the pinion, rack, and synchronous disc. When the main shaft rotates, the rack can swing back and forth with the main shaft as the center through the synchronous disc, rack, pinion, and eccentric connecting rod on the rear shaft. At this time, the tool holder moves in translation to realize the shearing work of the pendulum flying shear. The function of shear in the rolling mill is not the key position, but it plays an important role in the precision and shape of the finished product. Different types of the rolling mills should choose the corresponding flying shear so that the whole production line can achieve the target size and precision.

2. Bar Rolling Mill Production Process


2.1 Production Process Characteristics and Advanced Technology

(1) With continuous casting slab as raw material, continuous, non-twist and high-speed rolling is adopted in the whole rolling line, and the maximum rolling speed is up to 18m / s.

(2) The short stress line is selected for all rolling mills, which is characterized by high rigidity, the long service life of roller bearing, whole stand replacement and short roll change time.

(3) The small-sized ribbed bar products are mainly produced by slitting rolling process, which can obtain a higher output with lower rolling speed and can produce small-sized products with fewer rolling mills.

(4) There are flying shears behind the roughing mills, intermediate and finishing mills. During the rolling process, the head and tail of the rolled piece are cut; In front of the roughing mill, there is a clipper. In case of an accident, the mill can be broken to protect the mill and deal with the accident conveniently. Each flying shear adopts a start-stop working system, which has high shearing accuracy, low accident rate, and less maintenance.

(5) After finishing mill, water-cooling equipment is reserved, which is used for the residual heat treatment of surface quenching core heat tempering of ribbed steel bar products after rolling, so as to improve the mechanical properties and strength grade of products.

(6) After rolling, the bar is cooled on the step rack type cooling bed, and the bar is evenly cooled with good straightness; the unloading device of the cooling bed has a steel discharging device, which can arrange the bars of the lower cooling bed evenly, so as to facilitate the rear finishing treatment.

(7) The fixed-length shear of the finished product is 500 tons stop shear, which has a large shear capacity and can meet the requirements of high output of the rolling line.

(8) The bar rolling mill line equipment is controlled by an advanced computer system, which has complete control functions, high-quality electrical products, short commissioning cycle, fast production, and efficiency, and has reached the international advanced level.

2.2.2 Process Flow


The whole bar rolling mill line equipment is arranged on the + 5.00m elevated platform, and the elevation of the rolling center line is + 5.80m.

Description of the Production Process

(1) Loading Billets

The cold billets are transported to the raw material span of the workshop from the steel-making and continuous casting workshop adjacent to the workshop by the over span electric flat car, and the billets are lifted to the raw material span by the electromagnetic disk crane.

When using the cold billet production, the electromagnetic crane will lift the billet in rows and put it on the feeding platform. The feeding platform will place the billets on the furnace roller table one by one.

After the hot billet is sent to the workshop from the continuous casting workshop through the hot delivery roller table, it is lifted from the + 0.05m hot delivery roller table to the furnace roller table by a hoist.

In the process of transportation on the roller table, the billets are measured and weighed one by one. For the unqualified blank (manual visual inspection, surface defects, excessive bending, which do not meet the requirements), it can be removed by the removal device set at the side of the furnace roller table. The qualified billets are pushed into the heating furnace by a pusher in rows from the roller table.

According to the heating process of different steel grades, the billets are heated to 980-1150 ℃ and then sent out from the side of the heating furnace by roller according to the rolling rhythm.

Continuous Casting Billets

(2) Rolling

The billets after discharging are transported by the discharging roller table and rolled in the roughing mill ( 500 × 4 +  400 × 2) arranged by 6-stand flat/interchange. Then it is sent to the medium rolling mill ( 400 × 4 +  350 × 2) arranged in the flat / interchange of 6 stands for medium rolling after 1 × flying shear head and tail. The rolled piece comes out of the intermediate rolling mill and passes through the 2 × flying shear head and tail, and then is sent to the 6 stands finishing rolling mill ( 350 × 6) for rolling. Two of them are the horizontal/vertical convertible rolling mill for slitting rolling.

The roughing mill and the middle rolling mill are micro tension rolling. The front of the finishing mill and the front of each stand are equipped with vertical loopers. The rolling piece is rolled here without tension to ensure the dimensional accuracy of the rolling piece.

When there is a fault in the downstream of the rolling line, 1 × 2 × flying shears will start automatically to cut continuously, and the rolling piece will be broken to prevent the accident from further expanding. In front of the roughing mill, there is an accident clip shear, which automatically cuts off the rolled piece in case of an accident.

3) Water Cooling Device (Reserved)

The ribbed bars and bars coming out of the finishing mill immediately enter the water-cooling device for on-line residual heat quenching treatment (if water-cooling is not required, they can be emptied). That is to say, the rolling piece is forced to be cooled by the water-cooling box to make its surface temperature drop sharply to about 300 ℃, forming the martensitic structure. After the cold box is discharged, the heat of the core of the rolled piece disperses to temper the martensite structure on the surface, and finally, the tempered martensite structure on the surface and the fine pearlite structure on the core are obtained. The product of this structure has high tensile strength and can increase the strength of ribbed steel bars. According to the product requirements of different steel grades and specifications, the number of using sections and water volume of the water-cooling device is set to achieve the required rolling temperature.


(4) Segments

The finished rolled piece is clamped by the pinch roll and sent to the multiple lengths segmented flying shear (3 × flying shears). The multiple length segmented shear is optimized and cut into multiple lengths of the cooling bed.

The rolled piece after multiple length and section is sent to 78 × 9m step rack type cooling bed by the cooling bed input roller table and steel throwing (brake apron) device, and the rolled piece is cooled naturally while stepping on the cooling bed. Before lowering the cooling bed, align one end of the rolled piece with the output direction of the cooling bed by aligning the roller track, and then form a steel group in rows by the unloading chain conveyor according to a certain distance and quantity, and send it to the output roller track of the cooling bed in rows by the steel transfer trolley device.

(5) Cut to Size and Collect

The output roller table of the cooling bed will transport the group of steel unloaded from the cooling bed to the cold stop shearing place. The steel will be cut to the fixed-length by the fixed-length machine and the cold stop shearing (among which the hole type shear blade is recommended for the rolled piece with the specification of ≥ 25mm).

The fixed-length material is transported by the sheared roller table and transported to the finished span by the traverse chain stand. A set of short-scale roller table is arranged on the side of the transverse moving platform, which can be used to collect the short scale materials sandwiched in the fixed scale materials.

The traverse platform is composed of three groups of chain conveyors. The fixed-length materials are inspected and sorted during the transportation of the platform, and then they are collected on the collection roller with the vertical roller, which will deliver the collected bars to the baler for bundling, and finally to the collection platform for weighing, labeling, and collection of steel bundles. The bundles of finished bars are hoisted by the crane in the finished product warehouse to the finished product span for stacking.

The cutting head and broken materials are collected in the cutting headbox, lifted to the car by the crane, and then transported out of the workshop by the car. A kind of
In the rolling process, the size sample is selected manually on the cold bed, and the test sample is selected at the cold shear.
