Hydraulic Plate Shearing Machine

Shearing machines are multipurpose devices used in the cutting of alloys and other sheet metal. Some shearing machines use a scissor-like, angular shear action to cut metal into sheets or strips. Other, larger machines use a straight shear action with the blade fixed at an angle as opposed to the angular movement.A hydraulic press plate, also known as a hydraulic plate press or hydraulic press brake, is a machine used to bend and shape metal plates. These machines use hydraulic pressure to apply force to a die and bend the metal plate to the desired angle or shape.The machine consists of a shear table, work-holding device, upper and lower blades, and a gauging device. The shear table is the part of the machinery that the workpiece rests on while being sheared. The work-holding device is used to hold the workpiece in place and keep it from moving or buckling while under stress.
