Selecting the correct shearing machine capacity is essential for achieving clean cuts, machine longevity, and maximum production efficiency. In this expert guide by OMAXE MACHINE TOOLS INDIA PVT LTD, we break down how thickness, cutting length, tensile strength, and machine design affect performance.
Shearing machine capacity refers to the maximum thickness and width of metal sheet that a machine can cut in a single stroke. Capacity is generally defined in mm thickness × mm cutting length, based on mild steel reference material.
| Machine Type | Thickness Range | Cutting Length |
|---|---|---|
| Hydraulic Shearing | 4mm – 12mm | 2500mm – 4000mm |
| NC Shearing | 6mm – 16mm | 3000mm – 6000mm |
| CNC Shearing | 8mm – 20mm | 3000mm – 6000mm |
Always calculate required cutting force based on material strength and thickness. Choose a machine with 20–30% higher safety margin to ensure stable performance and longer lifespan.
