High-Precision Hydraulic Shearing Machines
Product Overview
The SLM Hydraulic Shearing Machine series provides the essential first step in high-quality metal fabrication. Engineered for clean, burr-free cuts, our machines are the perfect pre-processing partners for plate rolling and bending operations. Whether you require the cost-effective Swing Beam Shear or the high-precision Guillotine Shearing Machine, SLM Forming delivers the structural rigidity and cutting accuracy required for modern industrial standards.
Shearing Machine Categories
QC12Y Swing Beam Shear
A robust and economical solution for standard sheet metal cutting. Features a circular arc movement of the blade beam to ensure consistent results with minimal maintenance.
QC11K Guillotine Shear
Designed for heavy-duty and high-precision tasks. The vertical cutting action allows for adjustable rake angles, reducing plate distortion on thick materials.
Key Technical Advantages
- Superior Blade Quality: Equipped with high-carbon, high-chrome 6CrW2Si or Cr12MoV blades for extended service life and sharp cutting edges.
- Advanced Hydraulic System: Integrated valve blocks from Bosch Rexroth or Huade ensure smooth, quiet, and leak-free operation.
- Precision Backgauge: Motorized backgauge with digital display (NC) or full CNC control for rapid and accurate positioning.
- Rapid Blade Gap Adjustment: Manual or motorized adjustment mechanisms allow operators to set the optimal gap based on plate thickness in seconds.
- Safety Compliance: Includes front finger guards, rear light curtains, and emergency stop buttons to protect operators.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is the difference between Swing Beam and Guillotine shears?
A: Swing Beam shears (QC12Y) use a pivoting blade movement, ideal for thinner plates and cost-efficiency. Guillotine shears (QC11K) move vertically and allow for rake angle adjustment, making them superior for thick plates and higher precision requirements.
Q2: How often should I sharpen the blades on my hydraulic shearing machine?
A: This depends on the material and usage. Typically, high-quality SLM blades can perform thousands of cuts before requiring a flip (our blades have 4 cutting edges) or professional regrinding.
Q3: Can your machines cut stainless steel?
A: Yes. However, because stainless steel is harder than carbon steel, the cutting capacity is usually reduced by about 40-50%. We recommend using specialized high-strength blades for consistent stainless steel processing.
Why Choose SLM Forming?
At SLM Forming, we bridge the gap between factory power and global standards. Every hydraulic shearing machine undergoes a rigorous 48-hour stress test and precision calibration before shipment. We provide full technical transparency and professional English-language support to ensure your operational success.
