Hydraulic Guillotine Shear
The Atlantic shears are guillotine type shears. This means that the cutting action is a scissors cutting action. The hydraulic cylinders are positioned directly above the ram and push the ram in a downwards direction. Guillotine shears have several advantages above swingbeam type shears. They are made to cut several material types and thicknesses and have no twist in the frame like swingbeam types.
This shear has a SP7 control. The SP7 CNC controls the backgauge and rake angle of the machine.
