METAL SHEARING MACHINES

Hydraulic sheet metal shears are used for the mechanical parting of metal. Hydraulic shears are sheet metal cutters that work by bringing a moving shear blade down across a fixed blade. The result is that the metal or material between the two blades is sheared (i.e. cut) by the opposing force of the blades against each other. Some hydraulic metal shears (including our FMS Shears) allow you to program the angle of the moving blade in order to cut edge at a specified angle.

A metal shearing machine is typically made up of a shearing table (where the actual cutting takes place) a holding device (which prevents the metal piece from moving during the shear), and the moving and a stationary shearing blades. All of this is typically regulated by a shear gauging device, which ensures the angle and placement of the material is correct and remains so throughout the shearing process. Our electric sheet metal shears increase productivity for a great value.
