Shearing machines are critical in the metal processing industry, offering improved precision, efficiency, and automation through hydraulic and CNC technology. These machines play a key role in sheet metal cutting and rough processing, directly impacting production speed and product quality.

Hydraulic vs Guillotine Shearing Machines

Hydraulic shearing machines are available in two main types: swing beam and guillotine. The QC12Y series uses hydraulic transmission with a swing beam blade holder, handling plates up to 6mm thick and 4000mm wide. The QC11Y series guillotine shearing machine offers a vertically descending blade for straight cuts and can handle plates from 0.3-16mm thick and 2500mm wide.

CNC Automation for Shearing Efficiency

CNC systems in shearing machines improve accuracy and efficiency. The QC11Y/K-16x2500 model, with the MD-100 CNC system, automates blade gap and angle adjustments, increasing efficiency by over 30%. The Q15 series gantry machine processes larger plates, offering a shearing thickness range of 12-40mm at 4-7 times per minute.

When choosing a shearing machine, consider material type, thickness, and width. High-precision applications benefit from machines with adjustable angles and accurate back gauges. Modern models feature automatic blade clearance adjustments for better accuracy.

Future of Shearing Machines: Automation and Precision

Shearing machines are evolving toward greater automation, precision, and efficiency. These advancements offer better support for the metal processing industry.

Technological innovations continue to improve performance and simplify operations, ensuring that shearing machines remain key to the future of metal processing.
