Shearing machine is a kind of mechanical equipment widely used in the metal processing industry. Its main function is to cut metal sheets or other materials. Through precise control and coordinated movements, shears are able to produce sheet metal of various sizes and shapes, providing an important tool for the manufacturing industry. Do you know how a shearing machine works?

1. Clamping and alignment

When the work begins, the metal plate to be cut is tightly clamped by clamps or clamping devices to ensure that it can maintain a stable position during the cutting process. This step is to ensure the accuracy and stability of the cutting.

2. Adjust the knife edge distance

Using a control system, the operator adjusts the distance between the upper and lower knives to accommodate the desired cutting thickness. The adjustment of this parameter is crucial to the depth and accuracy of cutting and needs to be accurately controlled.

3. Back thrust

The back thrust system is the core of the shearing machine. It provides force through a set of hydraulic cylinders or mechanical mechanisms to push the metal plate to move along its length. This helps the metal plate maintain a stable position when cutting, providing a stable working platform for the blade to cut.

4. Cutting action

Once ready, the cutting action begins. The upper knife and the lower knife move relative to each other through a mechanical transmission or hydraulic system. They move towards each other with a certain speed and force, shearing the metal plate. This is the core cutting process of the shearing machine.

5. Separation

After the cutting is completed, the back thrust system will continue to work to separate the sheared metal sheet from the remaining metal plate.

6. Return to position

Finally, the blade returns to its original position, ready for the next cut. This process is cyclical, allowing the shearing machine to perform a large amount of cutting work efficiently.
