Understanding of plate shears: What is CNC guillotine shearing machine?
What is a shearing machine ?
Plate shears is a metal manufacturing process that is used to cut material and is done by a shearing machine. Equipped with a blade or rotating disc, it can be used to cut sheet metal, tubing, bars and other materials such as paper, fabric and plastic. In addition to this, the rear gauge and adjustable movable fence improve the shearing range and flexibility of the machine, and it also comes with a table to accommodate the material being cut. The process begins by securing the metal plate using a square arm between the blade and the die. The upper blade holds the workpiece and cuts by moving the workpiece downward through the fixed blade. Shearing machine is the world's most commonly used cost-effective manual shearing machine equipment.
What type of shearing machine?
According to different classification standards, shearing machine can be divided into several types, including shearing machine, table shearing machine , swing beam shears, hydraulic shearing machine , mechanical shearing machine , power shearing and CNC shearing .
● Shearing machine can be mechanically driven, can also be driven by hydraulic, fast, low cost, suitable for some production or sheet metal processing work.
● Table shearing machine provides a variety of functions, including cutting 90 degree Angle, round and square steel bar, but also has the ability of t section, high cutting efficiency, clean cutting surface without burr, suitable for multi-function or small productivity shearing work.
● The hydraulic shearing machine uses the hydraulic cylinder to drive the ram and the upper blade to carry out the work of the shearing machine. It has a strong bearing capacity and can also carry out a long shearing stroke, but there are some small burrs on the cutting surface, which is suitable for large-scale production.
● Mechanical shearing machine, which have a high stroke per minute, were the leading industrial machines decades ago, but they are too noisy, lack the ability to adjust blade clearance, and can't handle heavy metal plates. Currently, they are not commonly used in factories.
● Power shearing machine, including electric shears and pneumatic shears, are ideal for cutting large sheets of metal with straight lines or large radius curves, flexible, efficient, accurate, and guaranteed high quality and burr free cutting of sheet surfaces.
● And CNC shearing machine is now the most commonly used and most suitable for a shearing machine.
What is CNC shearing machine?
CNC shearing machine, also known as guillotine shearing machine or power shearing machine, are machine tools that use sharp blades to cut sheet metal and other materials.
CNC stands for "Computer Digital Control", which means that the machine is controlled by a computer program to control the movement of the machine and the cutting process.
As an intelligent industrial machine its advantages are obvious, it can be very accurate cutting work, which means that the cutting is consistent and accurate.
Another advantage is its speed, which means it can cut large amounts of material quickly. It is also very versatile and can be used to cut a wide range of materials including sheet metal, steel, aluminum and other metals. Its operation method is very simple, the operator input the required cutting parameters in the program, such as cutting size and position, CNC program can help the machine to complete the rest of the work, in this process, only the operator monitoring the machine, and according to the need to make necessary adjustments to the program, it can easily and accurately cut the products you need.
Shearing machine cutting process is fast, only a few seconds can be completed, can cut different diameters of the workpiece, is the ideal choice of low cost and efficient mass production, it is also a short time of mass cutting small length, simple shape of the workpiece effective method.
