There are various types of machines used for cutting, and different equipment can be selected according to different application scenarios and material types. Here are some common types of machines and their applications:
Shearing machine
Definition and classification: A shearing machine is a type of machine tool that uses hydraulic or electric drive to cut metal materials. It is divided into various types, such as metal shearing machines, combined punching and shearing machines, hydraulic shearing machines, bar cutting machines, etc. Among them, the most commonly used metal shearing machines are crocodile shearing machines and gantry shearing machines.
Application: Shear machines are widely used in metal recycling and processing plants, scrap car dismantling sites, smelting and casting industries, etc. They can perform cold cutting, pressing and flanging on various shapes of steel and metal materials, as well as pressing and forming powder products, plastics, fiberglass, insulation materials, and rubber.

Cutting machine
Definition and Application: A shearing machine is a mechanical equipment necessary for cutting the head, tail, corners, and fixed length of steel in a rolling mill workshop. According to different cutting methods and materials, shearing machines can be divided into various types such as steel billet hot shearing machines, thin slab shearing machines, and slab flying shearing machines.
Features: The shearing machine has diverse structures and strong adaptability, and can be used to cut steel of different shapes and sizes.
Hydraulic shear
Features: The hydraulic shear adopts hydraulic drive, which has the advantages of simple structure, small volume, light weight, and easy operation. It is usually used in small billet continuous casting machines and other occasions to shear materials through translational or up-down shearing.
Ultrasonic shearing machine
Application: Ultrasonic shearing machine uses the principle of instantaneous heat energy generated by ultrasonic vibration friction for shearing, suitable for industries such as packaging, gifts, and clothing. It can achieve precise cutting and automatic edge sealing, improving production efficiency and product quality.
Other cutting devices
Disc shearing machine: used for longitudinally cutting the edges of steel plates and strips, or cutting steel plates and strips into narrow strips longitudinally.
Flying shear machine: used for horizontally cutting moving rolled pieces, such as cutting the head and tail of the rolled piece and cutting the rolled piece into a fixed length.
In summary, there are many types of machines used for cutting, and the specific choice of machine needs to be comprehensively considered based on factors such as application scenarios, material types, cutting accuracy, and efficiency requirements.
