Shearing Machine (Guillotine Shear) manufacturers in India

The sheet is placed on a table against a back gauge and clamped, and a moving upper blade comes down against a fixed lower blade to cut it. Shears are described by the longest cut and the thickest mild steel they can cut. They can be mechanical or hydraulic, and the blade gap and rake angle are adjusted to suit the thickness and material.

A shearing machine is fast and inexpensive for straight cuts and leaves no heat-affected zone, but it cannot cut shapes or holes. Laser and plasma cutting follow any outline, with higher running cost for straight cuts.

• Cutting length and the maximum thickness in mild steel, and the reduced capacity in stainless steel.
• Hydraulic or mechanical drive, and the type of beam: guillotine or swing-beam.
