Swing Beam Shear
All blades are manufactured by us Company TFI Co. and we serve customers in UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, and Kuwait.
The swing beam shear is a term used to describe a shear whereby the upper knife bar moves in an arc around a pivot bearing. Normally, the upper knife blade is tapered with only two usable edges to avoid interference with the lower blade during the arcing motion. The swing beam shear is generally a lower profile design and weighs less than the guillotine, making blade clearance adjustment easier via an eccentric in the pivot bearing.
Guillotine Shear
We manufacture both types of shears, including the guillotine shear. A guillotine shear refers to the upper blade's straight motion driven by a mechanism and way system. This design typically results in a bigger, heavier shear and is commonly found in designs rated at 1/2" capacity or greater.
The guillotine shear utilizes a gibbing system to provide stability to the upper knife bar, guiding it down through the cut in a straight plane, allowing the use of 4-edge blades. This design is rigid and sturdy, but typically does not allow for easy blade clearance adjustment.
Blade Clearance Setting
The blade clearance setting will influence the point of cut in relation to the bottom shear knife. The backgauge bar is adjusted to read the distance from the stationary bottom knife. However, when blade clearance is increased for thicker metals, the point of cut also increases away from the knife.
Blade Repair and Services
We offer precision blade repair and services for shear blades, including the adjustment of blade clearance gaps. Our expert technicians can ensure that your blades are in optimal condition for efficient cutting operations.
If you require blade clearance gap setting services, our team is equipped to handle the task with accuracy and precision. Proper blade clearance is essential for achieving accurate cuts, and our professionals have the expertise to set the blades to meet your specific requirements.
