Shearing Machines And Its Types

Shearing machine is an industrial machine with rotating disks and blades used to snip hard iron sheets and metal bars. The word shearing means to put high pressure tool on metal bar when you want to remove a metal part. The design of shearing machine is simple having fixed upper blade , lower blade and convertible clearance move apart the two. When a pressure is applied on the upper blade, it then pressurize the lower blade to cut and split the metal bar into two. The finest type of metal for shearing process are aluminium , brass , bronze and mild steel. It is cost effective process and easy to operate, hence used in industries and at homes.

Shearing machines are classified on the basis of blade - linear or circular. A linear shearing machines are useful in cutting metal with thickness above 2mm and are handled with hydraulic power for slender metals. While circular shearing machines are used to cut into rings from metal bar and operated by an electric motor.

Types of Shearing machines - 

  • Bench Shear

Since the machine is clamber up on a bench in order to enhance its mechanical ability, so the word bench is used.  Beanch shearing machine is used to cut irregular medium sized shapes  from metal bars. These are contoured with ground cutting blades and are light-weighted thus it easy yo get clean and fast cuts. 


  • Guillotine

This  shearing machine is mechanically powered many times and rest of the time act as a hand or foot powered.  Initially a material will be cut with ram and a revolving blade moves down and then shear the metal. This types of shearing machine consist of shear table to keep the material to get sheared , a holding device to hold the material in order to avoid movement , a gauging device to make sure that the device is kept at right place while upper and lower blades are used to do cutting.


  • Power Shears

In this type of shearing a large pieces of metal get sheard irrespective of sizes which can be done electrically powered. It can also be powered with hydraulics in order to get large size metal pieces which are too heavy for transportation.


  • Throat-Less Shear

This type of shearing can be done for complex curves and cuts. In this shearing machine, a metal can be moved around the cutting blade so it's flexible. 

Always preferred specialist operator to work on shearing machines and then maintain cleanliness in the machine. Must follow the operating rules in order to avoid any failure. Make sure to switch off power of the machine after every use.

Advantages of Seamless Pipe

Seamless pipes are developed in measurement from 1/8 to 36” nominal. These pipe has no length ways weld in comparison with ERW pipe. In simpler words, the seamless pipe is fabricated by penetrating a round billet lay down a void seamless pipe. They are manufactured from high grade mild steel. These pipes are leakage proof , durable , resistant to corrosion and chemical. There are two ways to fabricating a seamless pipe - Hot Rotary Piercing Method It is most common way of manufacturing a seamless pipe. In this process hot billets are enforced by rotating heavy rollers over a mandrel plug. The mandrel plug make the hole from one side of seamless cylindrical billets. Extrusion Process Method   In this process, hot billets of metal are created into seamless pipe by enforce the billets by extrusion dies and above a forming mandrel. Extrusion process seamless manufacturing These pipes undergoes by many finishing operations like straightening , inspection , hydro testing and im...

Industrial Vacuum Cleaners For Solids and Liquids

There are many manufacturers who fabricate a full line of commercial and industrial commercial vacuum cleaners for companies, professionals and businesses. These vacuum cleaners can be handle easily , versatile in nature and noiseless. Basically, few vacuum cleaners are perfect selection for room vacuuming and sanitising. Industrial vacuum cleaners are portable and can be useful for vacuuming both small and large quantities of dry and wet kind of waste. They are sketched in a way to carried out even heavy cleaning work with fast emptying mechanism for the waste container. All models are drawn to set a fixed front accessory. The filtering system which consist a tangential entrance nozzle , cyclone cone of stainless steel and a big surface filter which provides excellent filtering system. Three phase industrial vacuum cleaners are formulate for regular and heavy duty applications. The industrial vacuum cleaners are available in wide range and fulfil all requirements for industrial suc...

Be Careful- Xerox Machines May Eat Your Privacy

As per survey conducted by SHARP , 60% of people are unware of the fact that the xerox machines keep images on the hard drives.  It may arise questioning on security of people's data as probable risk of xerox machines come onto surface. People were shocked after knowing that the thousands copies of private papers related to medical , insurance and salary can be easily found from hard drives. And if you have sound knowledge of computers then your must know the concept of data recovery, in which deleted or formatted data can be recovered from hard drives by using file recovery software . How xerox machines eat the privacy? Almost every digital xerox machines of any brands manufactured after 2002 carry a hard drive. Just like our PC , it can easily stores images of every documents , scan ,copy or email through the machine. Initially the main purpose of this design is to speed up the copy and print processes. The xerox machine scans a digital image of the work through digital...
