The very low rake angle ensures twist-free cuts starting from 10-15x sheet thickness.

Twist-free cut pieces

The low rake angle between the upper and lower blades ensures twist-free blanks.

  • Constant rake angle even with thicker sheets
  • Twist-free cuts starting from 10-15x sheet thickness
  • Rigid machine design absorbs high cutting forces
Rapid cutting stroke sequence by limiting the cutting length

Maximum productivity

Speed ​​in all aspects of operation ensures high throughput and productivity:

  • Rapid sequence of up to 50 strokes per minute 
  • Adjustable cutting length for short parts
  • Fast backstop movement
  • Fast and automatic blade clearance adjustment
  • Sorting functions of the sheet support and sorting system
  • Single stroke and continuous strokes
Home screen for selecting the operating mode
Manual input mode for basic entries such as sheet thickness, material type, stop dimension, and quantity
Extended manual mode: Additional input cutting length
Expert mode for complete cutting programs with multiple program lines

Individual operating concept

 The 15" touch monitor offers maximum and individual operating convenience

  • Large screen and purely icon based operating functions
  • Simple, fast and intuitive inputs
  • Movable control panel along the front of the machine
  • 3 operating modes for occasional users, more experienced users, experts
  • Simple mode: sheet thickness, material type, stop dimension and quantity
  • Advanced simple mode: additional sorting functions and cutting length
  • Program mode: Cutting programs with several program lines
  • Save and load programs
Straight edges, rightangled cuts and perfect dimensionally accuracy

Straight cutting edges

On a swing beam shear the upper blade penetrates the material above the lower blade

  • Clean and right-angled cuts
  • Long lifetime of the blades
  • Blades: 2 cutting edges on upper blade, 4 cutting edges on lower blade
Beveled, wide and rigid tables for quick material handling
Self-cleaning squaring arm
Deep finger pockets for an optimum material use
Shear tables and table extensions for easy access
Moveable table extensions support large blanks
Front stop with precision scale
Oblique cuts with adjustable angle stop

Best operator ergonomics

The shear table is the operator's direct working area. Its design ensures for easy, quick and efficient material handling.

  • Working height 850 mm
  • Wide, beveled and rigid tables for quick material handling
  • Ball rollers for gentle metal plate movement
  • Recessed grip between shear tables
  • Table extensions and table supports for easy access
  • Moveable table extensions can be added within seconds
  • Table extensions can be easily docked with a lever
  • Front stop with fine adjustment
  • Adjustable and self-cleaning squaring stop
  • Finger safety protection with good visibility
  • Deep finger pockets for an optimum material use
  • LED workspace illumination
  • Hold-down pressure automatically adjusts for slip free cutting
  • Easy maintenance and good accessibility when changing the oil
  • Large frame cutout for easy blade change
  • Highest safety levels by two-channel queries
The CNC backstop ensures precise cutting dimensions
The sheet support system prevents the sheet from hanging down, holds it in a horizontal position and guides it safely to the backgauge.

Precise cutting dimensions

The combination of CNC backstop and sheet support system ensure precise cutting dimensions. The sheet support system guides the sheet to the backstop.

  • Sheet in a horizontal position: exact cutting dimensions
  • Backstop depths selectable: 1000 mm, 1250 mm and 1500 mm
  • Snap-on extensions of the sheet support arms
For normal part length the backstop positions the part and the sheet support system eliminates the material from hanging down
Extremely long blanks can be routed below the backstop. Therefore the backstop moves to its maximum position and the sheet support slightly tilts down.
Blanks rolling off in 3 angular positions depending how sensitive the parts are
Return-to-sender function saves walking distances and increases the throughput
Cut parts can be returned to the font of the shear

Cuts pieces up to 200 x 500 mm can be delivered into a container in front of the shear
Separation of good parts and scrap during cutting
Full scrap container can be removed to the rear, the right or the left

Sorting while cutting

After the cut is made, the sheet support system shows its superiority with multiple material sorting functions:

  • Sorting the blanks while cutting increases productivity
  • Blanks rolling off in 3 angular positions
  • Low angle for sensitive parts: smooth and gentle delivery
  • Steep angle for normal blanks: fast delivery, rapid sequences
  • Return-to-Sender brings cut parts back to the operator
  • Safe small parts sorting to the front (max 200 x 500 mm)
  • Trim cuts fall into large volume scrap box
  • Separation of good parts and scrap during cutting
  • Removal of full scrap box to the rear, the right or the left
  • No material sorting required below the shear
