Shearing, is a process which cuts stock without the formation of chips or the use of burning or melting. In strict technical terms, the process of “shearing” involves the use of straight cutting bladesorm of sheet metal or plates, however rods can also be sheared. Shearing-type operations include: blanking, piercing, roll slitting, and trimming.
Micro is manufacturing Guillotine Type Hydraulic Shearing Machines . The machine may be foot powered (or less commonly hand powered), It works by first clamping the material with a ram. A moving blade then comes down across a fixed blade to shear the material. For larger shears the moving blade may be set on an angle in order to shear the material progressively from one side to the other; this angle is referred to as the shear angle. This decreases the amount of force required, but increases the stroke. A 5 degree shear angle decreases the force by about 20%. The amount of energy used is still the same. The moving blade may also be inclined 0.5 to 2.5°, this angle is called the rake angle, to keep the material from becoming wedged between the blades, however it compromises the squareness of the edge. As far as equipment is concerned, the machine consists of a shear table, work-holding device, upper and lower blades, and a gauging device. The shear table is the part of the machinery that the workpiece rests on while being sheared. The work-holding device is used to hold the workpiece in place and keep it from moving or buckling while under stress. The upper and lower blades are the piece of machinery that actually do the cutting, while the gauging device is used to ensure that the workpiece is being cut where it is supposed to be.
The design of press tools is an engineering compromise. A sharp edge, strength and durability are ideal, however a sharp edge is not very strong or durable so blades for metal work tend to be square-edged rather than knife-edged. Typical workpiece materials include aluminum, brass, bronze, and mild steel because of their outstanding shearability ratings, however, stainless steel is not used as much due to its tendencies to work-harden.
We have with us rich industry experience in successfully handling the demands of precision engineered and optimum functionality based range of Shearing Presses. These are designed and developed to shear plates with clean square edges. Further, these come with close working tolerances with options of different rake angles. With our capability of offering these in different sizes, the superior box construction of these Shearing Machines provides in them desired structural rigidity.
Here, our rich industry experience allows us to offer these machines in customized finish specifications so as to meet client’s specific work process requirements. Further, the offered machines being powerful and at the same time simple to operate, these come with most hold- down and shearing capabilities than any other industrial shear machine available in the market.
