Cutting inputs

Plan the cut and the next process

Nominal thickness is not enough; grade, width, edge criteria, support and safety define the practical machine selection.

Material and thickness

Provide material grade, shear strength, thickness range and surface condition so the published capacity can be interpreted correctly.

Cut geometry

Define cutting width, minimum and maximum cut length, backgauge range, blank size and the downstream forming process.

Quality and output

Record straightness, squareness, burr and edge requirements together with stroke rate, batch size and changeover pattern.

Handling and safety

Confirm front support, rear handling, controller functions, blade-gap setup, guarding, foot control and destination requirements.

Product systems

Inside the swing-beam shearing system

QC12K/E shears use an upper beam that swings around a pivot. Blade setup, sheet holding and the reference edge work together to determine the cut.

Swing beam and hold-downs

Swing beam

Guide the cutting stroke

The welded frame carries the worktable and pivoting upper beam. Hydraulic motion drives the stroke.

Select working length, thickness and stated material capacity from the same QC12K/E model.

Shear hold-down cylinders positioned above the lower cutting blade

Hold-downs

Secure the sheet before cutting

Hold-downs secure the sheet before the blades separate the material.

Review the holding and support arrangement for the intended sheet. Hydraulic and stroke-rate data remain model-specific.

Blade geometry and clearance

Close view of the shearing blade and metal cutting edge

Blade geometry

Select the blade setup

The selected blade set and blade condition affect material separation.

Review the tooling for your normal work and the required cut quality.

Blade clearance

Match the gap to the stock

The gap between the cutting edges must suit material and thickness.

Review the adjustment method and validate the setup on the intended sheet.

Backgauge and sheet support

Backgauge

Repeat the cut-length reference

The backgauge locates the sheet for the required cut length.

Check short cuts, access and positioning requirements. Servo positioning depends on the supplied package.

Shear front worktable with ball-transfer supports and finger guard

Sheet support

Present and maintain the reference edge

The worktable and front supports help the operator support and present the sheet.

Review stock weight and remnant removal. Rear support depends on the selected package.

Controller and guarded access

Control system shown for a QC12K/E shear

Controller

Organize cut-length positioning

The controller manages the supplied programming and positioning functions.

Review how lengths are entered, recalled and adjusted. Automatic setup functions vary by configuration.

Operator at the shear control panel beside the hydraulic assembly

Guarded access

Review the final operating layout

Operator and rear access must be reviewed alongside the cutting workflow.

Confirm throat protection, foot controls, emergency stops and any optical devices in the delivered layout.

Cut-quality trial

Stack of straight-edged sheet-metal blanks

Check dimensions and edge condition

A sample cut brings material, blade setup, holding and positioning into one review. Inspect the finished dimension and edge against the drawing.

Use the intended material and thickness, with the planned support and removal method. Agree the inspection criteria before evaluating the result.

QC12K/E models and configuration options

Use the selected QC12K/E model data for numeric selection; material strength and delivered options determine how each row is applied.

Model Data

Use the selected QC12K/E model row for thickness, width, stroke rate, backgauge, angle, power, pump, weight and dimensions.

Configured Options

Controller, servo backgauge, gap or stroke functions, rear support, light protection, guarding and blade grade require confirmation.

Confirm Before Ordering

Confirm material shear strength, cut quality criteria, blade setup, support and handling, electrical supply and the complete safety package.
