Swing shear offers smooth operation, reduced maintenance

Coe Press Equipment has announced the availability of its new oscillating servo shear. According to the company, the shear is designed to reduce maintenance and provide energy savings and noise reduction compared to hydraulic shears. Smooth operation allows the shear to cut rectangular and trapezoidal blanks with repeatability.

The self-contained machine relies on a slew ring to support the weight of the shear. This design allows the shear to swivel back and forth with the help of a second servo axis, attaining different angles for the cut.

The shear can handle coil materials from 24 to 78 in. wide and up to 0.25 in. thick. When run in continuous mode, the system can reach speeds of up to 240 SPM, depending on the width of the material being run.
