PRODUCT QUESTIONS
Before you request a configuration
These answers are planning guidance. The final machine, capacity, tooling, safety scope, and acceptance criteria belong in the approved technical proposal.
01Swing beam or guillotine shear?
The decision depends on plate duty, cutting geometry, edge expectations, and operating preference. The proposal compares both platforms against your material schedule.
02What material information is required?
Provide grade, maximum thickness, common thicknesses, sheet width, and any surface-protection requirements.
03Can the backgauge be CNC controlled?
Yes. Backgauge travel, control level, support arms, and safety scope are configured around the cutting workflow.
