Frequently asked questions
What sheet thickness can it cut?
See "Cutting capacity" in the technical table: typically 1 to 6 mm on mild steel.
The capacity refers to S235 steel. For stainless steel or high-strength alloys, the actual capacity is lower (approx. 70-80% of the declared value).
How does the hydraulic system work?
Hydraulic unit with electric pump and cylinders that drive the moving blade against the fixed blade.
The hydraulic system requires periodic maintenance with specific hydraulic oil. Pressure is factory set for nominal capacity.
What cutting length does it offer?
The effective length is indicated in the technical table (typically 1,000-3,000 mm).
The cutting length determines the maximum size of the workpiece that can be processed in a single pass. For longer pieces, multiple passes with repositioning are required.
Does the machine have a guide and backstops?
Yes, professional hydraulic shears have a rear guide with an adjustable backstop.
The backstop allows repeated cuts to the same dimension without the need for marking. Advanced models offer CNC for automatic positioning.
What electrical power does it require?
See "Motor power" in the technical table: typically 4 to 22 kW (400 V three-phase).
Shears are industrial machines that require a dedicated 400 V three-phase power line. Check the absorbed power at start-up to properly size the cables.
