Shears

GUILLOTINE DRIVE: What separates U.S. Made machines from the imports?

100% American Guillotine drive system with straight line cutting action. Unlike most imported swingbeam/rocker arm shears that have top blades that pivot from the end frames and shear in an arc or “swing”, Standard Industrial utilizes a true guillotine drive system that shears straight down.

Straight line cutting means that the relationship of the top blade to the workpiece never changes throughout the cut providing the best cut possible. Our US made shears are rated to 80,000 tensile and 44,000 yield strength.

5 YEAR PARTS/2 YEAR PLC & 5 YEAR LIMITED ONSITE LABOR WARRANTY

The best warranty in the business. All hydraulic, mechanical and electrical components are covered by our 5 year parts warranty. The CNC control is covered for 2 years. If you have any issues, contact our service department, we troubleshoot the problem and send you the parts.

What separates us from the rest, is that if we cannot identify the problem over the phone, we send a technician to your facility to take care of the issue at no cost to you, for the entire 5 year warranty period in the contiguous U.S.

Power Swing-away:

All shears come standard with a simple, manual swing-away backstop when shearing material longer than the machine’s backgauge travel is required. A power swing-away option is available that automatically swings the backstop out of the way when needed. This option also gives you 48” of travel.

Infinitely Variable Power Blade Gap Adjustment:

The operator can input the desired material to shear and the CNC control will automatically set the machine to shear that material. This automatic feature is standard on all ½” and larger and 14’ and longer shears.

Manual quick-change blade gap adjustment is standard on all 10 gauge, ¼” and 3/8” shears from 6’ to 12’. The automatic power blade gap adjustment can be added optionally.

Rake Adjustment:

All shears come standard with a low fixed rake. We offer a variable rake option that allows a lower rake setting for purposes of slitting and keeping the drops flatter if required.
