Shearing

Shearing sheet metal in steel, stainless steel and aluminium

For simple shapes and straight lines, shearing is faster and cheaper than laser cutting. No thermal distortion, a clean cut, ready for the next step right away.

  • Up to 3000 mm cut length
  • Up to 6 mm steel (material dependent)
  • No thermal distortion
  • Fast and cost-effective

Shearing or laser cutting

The right operation for a straight cut

Shearing is the fastest, cheapest method whenever a part only needs straight lines — no holes, no radii, no complex contour. Once a part needs more shape,laser cutting is the better choice.

Shearing is often combined with other operations: cut to size first, thenbent, welded or finished.
