Shearing

Metal sheets are subject to shearing by the so-called guillotine shear hydraulic shearing machine DURMA. Its base is essentially a bench for placing the metal sheets, gauge, and blade that moves in the downward direction. The machine may be applied to sheets made of aluminium, bronze or their alloys as well as medium hardness steel. Metal sheet shearing is the initial operation in metal processing. Depending on the desired function, the sheet metal is further subject to other processing operations, such as folding, hole boring, milling, etc.
