Shearing Machine for Steel Cutting Applications

A shearing machine (also called a guillotine shear) is an industrial machine used to cut sheet metal with a straight line. It works by holding the workpiece firmly with hold-down clamps while an upper blade moves down against a fixed lower blade, creating a clean shear cut. The blades overlap slightly to ensure clean separation of the material.

Our shearing machines can cut mild steel, stainless steel, aluminum, galvanized steel, and other ductile metals. The cutting capacity depends on material thickness, tensile strength, and shear length. Please refer to our capacity charts for specific material and thickness combinations.

Our CNC hydraulic shears typically achieve ±0.1mm to ±0.2mm length accuracy with the programmable backgauge. Blade clearance adjustment ensures clean cuts with minimal burr. Squareness and parallelism are maintained through precision construction and optional angle compensation systems.

We offer high-carbon steel blades for general use, alloy steel for stainless and harder materials, and optional carbide-tipped blades for extended life. Blade clearance is adjustable—typically 5–10% of material thickness for optimal cut quality. Our machines feature quick blade gap adjustment mechanisms.

Standard models typically ship within 4-8 weeks. Custom configurations or large-capacity machines may require longer lead times. All our shearing machines come with a comprehensive warranty covering major components. Extended warranty and blade warranty options are available.

We offer mechanical shearing machines, hydraulic shearing machines, and CNC hydraulic shears. Our hydraulic models feature variable rake angle, programmable backgauge for accurate cutting lengths, and optional CNC control for automated production. We also provide swing beam and gate-type designs for different applications.

Our shearing machine models range from 2mm to 25mm cutting thickness for mild steel, with cutting lengths from 1.25m to 6.5m or more. Larger custom models are available. Contact us for specifications tailored to your production requirements.

Hydraulic shears offer smoother operation, adjustable cutting force, overload protection, and easier integration with CNC backgauges. Mechanical shears are typically faster for simple repetitive cuts and have lower maintenance. Hydraulic models are preferred for thicker materials and precision applications.

Regular maintenance includes hydraulic oil changes (for hydraulic models), lubrication of guide ways and bearings, inspection of blades for wear and damage, and verification of hold-down pressure and safety systems. We provide detailed maintenance schedules and operator training. Annual professional inspections are recommended.
