Shear slitting is the most versatile and commonly used method to slit flexible web materials. It is also the most demanding, requiring careful attention to control specific operating variables, for high quality slitting.

In shear slitting, there are four basic principles, the consistent utilization of which is necessary to obtain a top-quality cut. They are: 1. Cant angle or toe-in 2. Side loading pressure. 3. Blade overlap or penetration. 4. Rake angle setting on your top knife. 1. CANT ANGLE OR TOE-IN Cant angle is needed in the shear slit process, to ...

2021年1月21日 · While shear cutting or shear slitting is the type of slitting that uses a combination of a top and bottom knife with defined geometries. Creating a shear force on the material as it separates going through the cut point. The main idea behind shear cutting is to replicate a pair of circular scissors. These “scissors” cut the material exactly ...

2023年2月16日 · Shear slitting is used in applications that require precision cuts. It is more expensive and difficult to set up than other slitting methods and is commonly used to convert heavy films, foils, paper, layered materials, and composites.

The bottom knife of a shear slitting system is typically designed to outlast the top knife by a factor of 10:1, if top and bottom knives are made from the same material, and because most often there is a longer down time

2024年8月20日 · This comprehensive guide delves into the three primary types of slitting methods—razor slitting, score slitting, and shear slitting—offering an in-depth understanding of their benefits, applications, and the critical factors to consider when choosing the right technique for your operations.

2020年11月5日 · Having problems with shear slitting? This blog reviews the 6 most common problems found in shear slitting, including specific indicators of each problem.

2025年1月1日 · Shear slitting involves two rotary disc blades (upper and lower) that create a shearing force to slit the material to the desired width. Depending on how the blades contact the material, shear slitting can be classified as: Tangential Slitting: The blades directly contact the material in a tangential manner to perform the cut.

2024年3月29日 · There are three types of rewind slitting: razor slitting, shear slitting, and crush cutting. A. Razor slitting. Razor slitting employs a sharp blade or multiple blades (called industrial razor blades) to cut the material. The blade is held by a blade holder to stay stationary on a …
