Shears 

A swing beam shear is an electrically or pneumatically powered hand tool designed to blank large pieces of sheet metal. It is designed to cut straight lines and relatively large radius curves. A beam shear is the best form of metal cutting tooling available. Specifically designed to cut sheet metal at a high rate, our swing beam shears are sure to get the job done quickly and efficiently. 

How do they work? 

Depending on the size of the machine and the required sheet metal thickness to cut through, the swing beam shear can use a hydraulic or a mechanical shear. In both instance, the blade will swing down from the top to cut through the work piece. 

Due to the small shear angle, a wing beam shear is ideal from cutting out sheet metal blanks at a very high speed. The hydraulic type of swing beam shear also allows for control in the stroke and pressure of the cut. This means the work pieces can be cut in a way that reduces warping and distortion in the final product

What can you expect? 

At African Machine Supplies, our swing beam shears will cut with extreme precision and efficiency. As a customer, you can expect a certain level of quality assurance from us, and so any tool we sell we have but our full confidence and reputation in. A few features you can expect from our swing beam shears are: 

• Durability
  We create and import tooling that lasts. With correct usage and maintenance, and beam shear bought from us will keep up with your metal cutting needs for many years to come. 
• Cutting Span
  When working in heavy industry, projects tend to be large. Cutting blanks out of multiple smaller sheet metal sections is time consuming and could reduce the integrity of the finished product. At African Machine Supplies, our swing beam shears can cut sheet metal that is up to a 6 meter span. 
• Cutting Thickness
  Sheet metal isn’t necessarily thin, and heavier industry applications will needs thicker sheet metal. Thicker sheet metal is obviously more difficult to cut, but with swing beam shears from African Machine Supplies, we can provide you with the tooling to cut sheet metal that is up to 20mm thick!
