What is Shearing Machine

A shearing machine is an industrial machine used to cut sheet metal, plates, or other materials into desired shapes and sizes by applying a shearing force. The shearing process involves using a set of blades—one fixed and one moving—to slice through the material, much like scissors cutting paper.

Key Components:

Upper and Lower Blades: Perform the cutting action.

Hold-down Clamps: Secure the material during cutting.

Back Gauge: Positions the material for accurate cuts.

Control System: Operates the machine manually or automatically.
