Industrial Rotary Selvage Edge Trimmers
Experience Precise Trimming with Our Rotary Shear Selvage Edge Trimmers
At U.S. Webcon, we understand the importance of precision in your production process. That is why we offer driven foot-mounted selvage edge trimmers equipped with many features and options to cater to your specific requirements.
Our trimmers are designed to flawlessly edge trim various materials, including woven fabrics, knitted fabrics, supported vinyl, and flame-laminated polyurethane foams, ensuring exceptional quality and accuracy.

Unmatched Performance with Advanced Technology
With a selvage edge trimmer, you can achieve impeccable results. The trimming heads can be conveniently positioned on the fly using a hand wheel and lead screw arrangement, allowing for seamless adjustments.
The upper and lower blades are driven, ensuring consistent trimming irrespective of web tension. Unlike competitors’ units, our bottom knife is spring-loaded against the top knife, providing a clean cut even if the blades are misaligned.
Tailor-Made Features for Optimal Efficiency
Our selvage edge trimmers come with features tailored to enhance your productivity. The rigid steel construction ensures durability and longevity, providing a reliable solution for your trimming needs. The center-justified hand-wheel positioning allows for precise control, with optional independent positioning for each trimming head.
For wandering webs, guided units are available to maintain accuracy. Additionally, our trimmers offer optional AC drives for speed control of the knives, maximizing efficiency. Create a seamless workflow by complementing your selvage edge trimmer with our optional unwinds, rewinds, and inspection tables for offline operation

What is an industrial rotary shear selvage edge trimmer?
An industrial rotary shear selvage edge trimmer is a machine designed to trim the selvage (the edge of the fabric that is typically woven to prevent fraying) using rotary shearing blades. These machines provide a high level of precision, ensuring consistent edge finishes during textile production.
What materials can a rotary shear selvage edge trimmer cut?
- These machines are designed to handle a wide variety of materials, including woven fabrics, non-wovens, knitted fabrics, flame laminated foam and synthetic fibers. Some machines can also handle more challenging materials like coated textiles or high-density fabrics.
How does a rotary shear selvage edge trimmer work?
The trimmer uses rotary blades that rotate at high speeds to cut the fabric edges. These blades are mounted in such a way that they can apply even pressure across the fabric, providing clean cuts without pulling or distorting the fabric. The speed and cutting precision are adjustable depending on the fabric type and desired edge finish.
Can rotary shear selvage edge trimmers be integrated with other textile processing machines?
Yes, these trimmers are often integrated into larger textile processing lines, such as weaving or finishing machines, for continuous edge trimming. This integration helps streamline the production process, improving overall efficiency.
