Shearing Machine - CNC Swing Beam, Hydraulic Guillotine Shearing Machine

Yash Machine Tools is a leading manufacturer and supplier of workshop machine tools. Metal cutting and metal shaping works remain the most difficult form of machining in engineering industries. Yash Machine Tools presents collection of reliable and fast performing shearing components. Our shearing components are made of excellent grade of materials which can withstand for long term usage. Our product range includes the following models.

QC11Y SERIES HYDRAULIC GUILLOTINE SHEARING MACHINE

Our QC11Y series hydraulic guillotine shearing machine is made of stress free steel welded structure. We have designed these components with three guide trolleys which enables for accurate movement while shearing metal work materials. The adjustable rake angle helps to reduce deformation of sheared metal plates. The back gauge can also be adjustable manually to reduce deformation in shearing processes. The swing away back gauge supports the machining operation in terms of cutting longer metal sheets. Adjustment of sheets can be easily carried out with the help of indicator. Above all, we have designed this shearing machine model with three trolley and rail structure for front preloading so that the rail forces blade holder for flexible movement along upper and down rail structure with no gaps.

Advantages of Different Types of Shearing Machines

The hydraulic shearing machines have high strength and rigidity and have vibration stress relief. They use a blade to reciprocate linear motion relative to the other blade that cuts the sheet. Compared with the hydraulic beam shearing machine the guillotine shearing machine has the advantages of high shearing precision, an adjustable shear angle, and long-serving life of the cutting edge. Similarly, the hydraulic device has a pressing force that is large and adjustable and the cutting precision is high. Shearing machine manufacturers design the tool in such a way that the metal cutting angle is adjustable and effective cutting can be achieved for plates of different thicknesses.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a shearing machine?

A shearing machine cuts sheet metal and steel plates in a straight line using an upper blade that moves down against a fixed lower blade. It produces clean, square cuts without heat, sparks or material loss. That makes it the standard machine for cutting sheets and plates to size in fabrication, sheet metal and steel processing workshops.

What is the difference between a guillotine shearing machine and a swing beam shearing machine?

In a guillotine shearing machine the upper blade moves straight down in a vertical line, and the rake angle can usually be adjusted. This gives higher cutting precision, less plate distortion and longer blade life, and it suits thicker plates and precise work. In a swing beam shearing machine the upper blade holder swings in an arc around a pivot. It is simpler and more economical, and it suits general sheet and plate cutting where the highest precision isn’t critical.

What is a hydraulic shearing machine?

A hydraulic shearing machine uses hydraulic cylinders to drive the upper blade instead of a mechanical flywheel and crank. The hydraulic system provides a large, adjustable cutting force and a smooth stroke, with built-in overload protection. Both guillotine and swing beam shears are commonly hydraulic, because hydraulics give reliable performance on thick plates with lower noise and less maintenance than mechanical shears.

What is the advantage of a CNC shearing machine?

A CNC shearing machine uses a numerical control system to position the backgauge automatically and control the cutting cycle. The operator enters cut lengths and quantities, and the machine repeats them accurately without manual measuring. This speeds up batch cutting, improves accuracy and reduces errors and material wastage.

Which shearing machines does Yash Machine Tools supply?

Yash Machine Tools, based in Ahmedabad, supplies four types of shearing machines:

QC11Y Series hydraulic guillotine shearing machines
CNC guillotine shearing machines
Hydraulic swing beam shearing machines
CNC swing beam shearing machines

The range covers plate thicknesses from about 4 mm to 25 mm, with cutting lengths up to several metres, to suit workshops from light fabrication to heavy plate processing.

What is the rake angle in a shearing machine?

The rake angle, or shear angle, is the angle between the upper and lower blades. A smaller rake angle reduces bending and twisting of the cut strip, which is better for thin sheets and precise cuts. A larger rake angle reduces the force needed to cut thicker plates. On a hydraulic guillotine shear the rake angle can be adjusted, so the operator can balance cutting force and cut quality for each thickness.

How do I choose the right shearing machine?

Start with the maximum plate thickness and length you need to cut, and the type of material, since stainless steel needs more capacity than mild steel. For thicker plates and precise cuts with minimal distortion, choose a hydraulic guillotine shearing machine. For general sheet and medium plate cutting on a budget, a swing beam shearing machine is a good choice. If you cut many parts to repeated sizes, add a CNC backgauge to improve speed and accuracy.

What is the backgauge on a shearing machine?

The backgauge is the adjustable stop behind the blades that sets the length of each cut. The operator moves it to the required size and pushes the sheet against it before cutting, so every piece comes out the same length. Backgauges can be manual, motorised with a digital display, or CNC controlled. A swing-away backgauge also lets the machine cut sheets longer than the backgauge travel.

How should shearing machine blades be maintained?

Keep the blade gap set correctly for the thickness being cut, because a wrong gap causes burrs, rough edges and faster wear. Never cut material thicker or harder than the machine’s rated capacity. Keep the blades clean and check them regularly for chipping. Most shear blades have four cutting edges, so they can be rotated to a fresh edge before they need regrinding, which extends blade life considerably.

Which industries use shearing machines?

Shearing machines are used in sheet metal fabrication, steel service centres, HVAC ducting, electrical panel and enclosure making, automobile and body building, agricultural equipment, structural steel fabrication, tank and pressure vessel making, and general engineering. Any business that cuts metal sheets or plates to size relies on a shearing machine.

Hydraulic Swing Beam Shearing Machine

Yash Machine Tools presents a Hydraulic Swing Beam Shearing Machine, which is a steel plate welded structure. The hydraulic transmission and accumulator return stroke account for flexible operation. Hydraulic operation leads to reliable performance. For safety reasons, indicator-based gap adjustment of blades is provided. The general digital display helps in positioning the back gauge and time taken for shearing work. The two rows of 6 characters and 7-segment LED display make way for flexible monitoring.

CNC Swing Beam Shearing Machine

A shearing machine with a Computer Numerical Control facility always remains fast and efficient in operation. Yash Machine Tools supplies CNC Guillotine shearing machines that work on the hydraulic principle. It is equipped with hydraulic transmission and a swing blade holder, and the whole structure is made of a strong and tensile integral welded frame. It has been designed with an adjustable stroke, wherein the operator would be able to obtain full or shorter strokes for shearing. The numerical control system and position coder provide a closed-loop control system, which in turn can be depended on for good speed, accuracy, and durability in performance.
