Frequently asked questions
For which sections are the blades available?
The blades are manufactured to suit standard commercial sections, for instance for U-sections (UNP) in several sizes. Which cutting openings make sense to combine depends on the section size and machine capacity.
What does shearing without chip removal mean?
During shearing the section is separated by the blades without producing chips and without heat input as in thermal cutting. This saves a work step and avoids additional distortion.
Can one blade set cut several section sizes?
Yes. Depending on the version, the set has several cutting openings, so that several section sizes can be sheared without changing tools, for example UNP 65, 80 and 100.
