Shearing machine is a widely used mechanical equipment in the field of metal processing, used for cutting metal sheets or other materials. Different types of shears offer unique advantages when dealing with various cutting needs and materials. The following is a detailed introduction to the different types of shears.

 

1. Mechanical shearing machine

Mechanical shearing machines use a mechanical transmission system to drive the blades for cutting through mechanical components such as motors and gears. This type of shear is typically used where less precise cutting is required, but excels at simple cutting tasks. Due to their relatively simple structure, mechanical shears are generally more economical in price.

 

2. Hydraulic shearing machine

The hydraulic shearing machine uses a hydraulic system to provide power and controls the movement of the lower knife through a hydraulic cylinder. Compared with mechanical shears, hydraulic shears have higher cutting power and a wider range of applications. Their ability to handle larger thicknesses of sheet material while maintaining high cutting accuracy makes them widely used in a variety of industrial fields.

 

3. Laser shearing machine

Laser shearing machines use laser beams for cutting and are suitable for applications that require high cutting accuracy and speed. This highly sophisticated shearing machine is usually equipped with a computer numerical control system (CNC), which can achieve complex shapes and high-precision cutting through pre-programmed programs. Laser shearing machines are widely used in automobile manufacturing, aerospace and electronics industries.

 

4. CNC shearing machine

The CNC shearing machine uses a computer numerical control system to control the movement of the tool to achieve high-precision and automated cutting. This type of shearing machine has the characteristics of strong flexibility and high production efficiency, and is suitable for large-scale production and scenarios that require high cutting accuracy. CNC shears are widely used in fields such as metal structures, construction and shipbuilding.

 

5. Manual shearing machine

Manual shears are typically smaller pieces of equipment that are operated manually by an operator. Although its scope of application is relatively limited, it still plays an important role in small-scale production and repair work. This type of shearing machine is simple and easy to use and highly dependent on manpower.

 

6. Swing shearing machine

Swing shears use an oscillating motion to cut, with the cutter cutting in an arc or oscillating line. This design reduces stress when cutting, making it excellent in applications that are sensitive to material deformation.
