Flying Shear Controller and Accelerator Upgrade

The Alpha® Flying Shear Controller Upgrade, available for all Alpha® Flying Shears, improves reliability and provides a simple, user-friendly process for real-time control.  Change part-length on the fly, reduce setup time with stored recipes, increase control via real-time feedback, and benefit from increased service potential and future software updates.
The Alpha® Rack and Pinion Accelerator upgrade is the ideal solution for tube and pipe producers seeking improved operational performance. Designed to significantly improve repeatability of cut length tolerance, the installation will improve mill productivity and reduce maintenance. The upgrade is simple to install and requires no special foundation.

Prime candidates for the Alpha® Rack and Pinion Accelerator upgrade include Alpha® Shears with unreliable, maintenance intensive hydraulic accelerator units.

Many original equipment flying shear cutoffs were installed with maintenance intensive hydraulic accelerators with continue to need frequent tuning to maintain cut length accuracy. This installation eliminates these requirements and provides many benefits.

The Alpha® Controller Upgrade replaces obsolete control systems that are no longer serviceable or supportable. While older controllers are proprietary dedicated microprocessor based CPUs, the Alpha® Flying Shear Controller Upgrade utilizes a Siemens PLC and other readily available components ensuring long-term viability.

Available for all Alpha® Flying Shears, the Alpha® Flying Shear Controller Upgrade improves reliability and provides a simple, user-friendly process for real-time control.  Change part-length on the fly, reduce setup time with stored recipes, increase control via real-time feedback, and benefit from increased service potential and future software updates.
