Shearing is a cutting process used in punch press operations to separate or cut flat sheet materials into specific shapes or sizes. This article will focus on the various materials the WinSet punch press can shear.
Shearing Material Applications
- Metals: Various types of metals can be sheared, including:
- Steel: Carbon steel, stainless steel, alloy steel
- Aluminum: Aluminum alloys
- Copper: Copper alloys, brass, bronze
- Titanium: Titanium alloys
- Nickel: Nickel alloys
- Precious metals: Gold, silver, platinum
- Plastics: Different types of plastics can be sheared, such as:
- Polyethylene (PE)
- Polypropylene (PP)
- Polyvinyl chloride (PVC)
- Acrylic (PMMA)
- Polycarbonate (PC)
- ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene)
- Rubber: Shearing can be used for cutting various rubber materials, including:
- Natural rubber
- Neoprene
- Silicone rubber
- EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer)
- Fiberboard: Shearing can be applied to fiberboard materials, such as:
- Medium-density fiberboard (MDF)
- Hardboard
- Particleboard
- Fabric and textiles
- Composite materials
- And more
The WinSet high-velocity electromagnetic punch press not only can shear these materials but can also perform many other forming and trimming operations.
