Shear Machines

How Shear Machines Work

The shearing process operates by placing the material between a punch and a die. The punch moves downward with significant force to push the material against the die, effectively slicing through it. Depending on the material thickness and the type of cut required, shear machines are fitted with different types of blades:

• Straight Blades: Used for long, straight cuts across sheets and plates.
• Circular or Rotary Blades: Applied for cutting bars or making curved cuts.

As the punch descends, it applies shear force that causes the material to fracture along a line, producing a clean, straight cut. Shearing is a cold-working process, which means no heat is involved, preserving the structural integrity of the material.

Technical Advantages of ARZ Shear Machines

1. Precision Cutting:
   Our shear machines are engineered to deliver extremely precise cuts, maintaining tight tolerances even on high-strength metals like steel and aluminum. Whether cutting thin sheets or thick plates, our machines ensure minimal burrs and deformation.
2. Versatile Blades:
   We provide machines equipped with both straight and rotary blades to accommodate a range of cutting needs. These blades are made from high-strength materials, ensuring durability and longevity, even in high-volume production environments.
3. High Shear Force:
   Our hydraulic shear machines are designed to apply high shear force, allowing for efficient cutting of thick materials without compromising accuracy. This makes them ideal for industries that work with heavy-duty metals or high-strength alloys.
4. Material Optimization:
   ARZ shear machines are designed to minimize material waste, allowing for better optimization of raw materials. This not only reduces costs but also ensures more sustainable production.
5. Customizable Cutting Parameters:
   Our machines come with adjustable cutting angles and programmable settings, enabling users to fine-tune the cutting process based on material type, thickness, and required shape. This customization leads to faster setup times and greater flexibility in production runs.
6. Durability and Low Maintenance:
   The robust construction of our shear machines, combined with wear-resistant blades, ensures long-term performance and minimal maintenance requirements. Hydraulic models are built to withstand continuous operation in demanding environments without sacrificing reliability.
7. Automated Features:
   Many of our shear machines include automated back gauges, programmable logic controls (PLC), and touch-screen interfaces, reducing operator error and enhancing repeatability for large-scale projects.
