Crop Shear to Cut Coil Ends Cut to Length Machine

Crop Shear for Cutting Coil Ends in CTL Machine a dedicated pre-shearing unit used to remove irregular, damaged, or deformed leading & trailing ends of metal coils before precision length cutting begins. It ensures smooth feeding, accurate measurement, & high-quality finished sheets by eliminating coil end defects. Cut to Length Machine, the crop shear installed after the de-coiler & before the leveller or main shear. Its primary function is to square & trim the coil head & tail, allowing the strip to enter the leveller & measuring system without causing jams, misalignment, or inaccurate cuts. Characteristics Dedicated shear for coil head & tail cutting Improves sheet length accuracy Protects leveller rolls & measuring devices Essential for high-speed & high-precision CTL lines Can be hydraulic or mechanical type Main Components De-coiler or Un-coiler Pinch Rolls Crop Shear Unit Scrap Chute or Conveyor Straightener or Leveller Main CTL Shear Working Principle Coil is mounted on the de-coiler The leading end of the strip is fed forward by pinch rolls Strip reaches the crop shear Shear performs a single squaring cut to remove damaged or uneven coil head Scrap is discharged through the scrap chute The squared strip proceeds to the leveller & main CTL section At the end of the coil, the tail end is cropped in the same manner Types Hydraulic Guillotine Crop Shear Mechanical Crop Shear Applications Steel Service Centers - Coil preparation for sheet cutting General Fabrication - Coil end trimming Automotive Industry - Blank preparation Appliance Manufacturing - Flat panel production Construction Industry - Sheet processing
