The effectiveness of a shearing machine in different material cutting tasks depends on the selection of cutting tools and the adjustment of cutting parameters. This article will detail how to choose the appropriate tool type when working with common materials and obtain the best cutting results by adjusting cutting parameters.

1. Steel plate cutting:

For steel plate cutting, choosing carbide tools or high-speed steel tools is a common choice. Carbide cutting tools have high wear resistance, while high-speed steel cutting tools are suitable for situations that require higher cutting speeds.

Cutting parameter adjustment:

Tool clearance: The steel plate is harder and usually requires a larger tool clearance, but the specific adjustment should take into account the hardness and thickness of the material.

Cutting speed: Moderate cutting speed helps ensure cut quality and can be adjusted according to material hardness and thickness.

2. Aluminum plate cutting:

For aluminum sheets, using carbide tools is a common choice because aluminum is relatively soft.

Cutting parameter adjustment:

Tool clearance: Aluminum has better cutting performance and a smaller tool clearance can be set, but it needs to be adjusted according to specific requirements.

Cutting speed: High-speed cutting is usually suitable for aluminum plates, but the cutting speed should not be too fast to avoid premature wear of the tool.

3. Stainless steel cutting:

When cutting stainless steel, choose carbide tools or high-speed steel tools with anti-corrosion coatings to ensure the wear resistance of the tools.

Cutting parameter adjustment:

Tool Clearance: The higher hardness of stainless steel requires larger tool clearance, but it needs to be adjusted according to the specific situation to avoid tool damage.

Cutting speed: Due to the poor thermal conductivity of stainless steel, the cutting speed is relatively slow, and the cutting speed can be moderately reduced to improve cutting quality.

4. Plastic plate cutting:

Choose carbide knives or knives with an anti-stick coating to reduce sticking between the knife and the plastic.

Cutting parameter adjustment:

Knife clearance: When cutting plastics, a moderate tool clearance can be set to ensure a smooth cutting surface.

Cutting speed: Plastics are usually cut at a fast speed, but excessive speeds should be avoided to avoid melting or burning.

5. Composite material cutting:

For composite materials containing metal layers, choose carbide tools suitable for metals.

Cutting parameter adjustment:

Tool Clearance: Adjust tool clearance to accommodate different layers of composite material to prevent delamination or damage.

Cutting speed: For different composite materials, experiments are conducted to determine the optimal cutting speed to ensure cutting quality.

Always refer to the operator's manual and shearing machine manufacturer's recommendations when making tool selection and cutting parameter adjustments. At the same time, small-scale experiments are conducted to gradually optimize the cutting tools and cutting parameters to ensure the best cutting results in different material cutting tasks. Comprehensive consideration of factors such as tool quality, tool clearance, cutting speed, etc. can improve the production efficiency and cutting quality of the shearing machine.
