Key Features

  Fully stress-relieved and incorporating a sliding table for blade clearance adjustment.
• Drive
  Consisting of a heavy-duty worm and wheel, it is fitted with a cylinder jaw clutch running in a totally enclosed oil bath.
• Lubrication
  Slides and the main journal are provided by a motorised single-line pump via distributor blocks.
• Auto Sheet Supports
  Consisting of steel rods that rise and fall with each stroke, prevent sagging of light sheets, either ferrous or non-ferrous, and ensure accurate gauging.
• Adjustable Back Gauging
  Controlled by a rotary shaft encoder with readout in metric or imperial. The Programmable Logic Control Unit’s memory can store up to numerous dimensions and batch sizes. Additional sequences can be grouped together to form programmes, which automatically that automatically move the gauge to a new position after each batch is completed.
• Material Hold Down Clamps
  These are operated by an independent hydraulic unit. 'Cushion Clamping' significantly reduces noise and minimises any marking of soft or polished materials.
• Auto Shearing
  Enables the operator to achieve the maximum output from the Shear. The system uses three (or four) hardened and ground contact probes in the back gauge to ensure square/parallel cuts.
• Shadow Line Gauging
  Is provided by fluorescent tubes casting a shadow from the top blade along the full length of the machine.
• Ergonomically-Designed Control Panel
  The Rhodes "Hi-Mech" range of Mechanical Shears are stylish and totally practical.
