WyShear S Series Swing-Beam Sheet Metal Shearing Machine

The WyShear S Series is a swing-beam sheet metal shearing machine with hydraulic drive and CNC control, available in 4 configurations with a fixed length of 3200 mm and cutting thicknesses from 4 mm to 12 mm. The swing-beam system of this swing-beam sheet metal shearing machine maintains a constant blade angle throughout the cut, ensuring superior edge quality compared with systems with a fully vertical moving blade — with high frame rigidity for continuous production and 12 spring pressure columns for uniform clamping of the material along the entire length of 3200 mm.

Compared with the WyShear G series with a conventional guillotine, the WyShear S Series swing-beam sheet metal shearing machine uses the swing-beam mechanism — the blade rotates on a fixed pivot point, maintaining a constant cutting geometry and reducing blade wear compared with systems with purely vertical movement. Combined with the Bosch Rexroth / Parker Hannifin hydraulic system and the Siemens / Fisher CNC control, the WyShear S Series is the balanced solution between cut quality, mechanical simplicity and investment cost.

Key advantages of the WyShear S Series swing-beam sheet metal shearing machine

• Swing-beam system — constant blade angle throughout the cut — the swing-beam mechanism of the WyShear S Series swing-beam sheet metal shearing machine maintains a constant blade angle relative to the sheet throughout the cut, ensuring superior and uniform edge quality compared with systems with purely vertical movement where the effective angle varies over the course of the stroke.

• 12 spring pressure columns — uniform clamping over 3200 mm — the 12 spring pressure columns distributed uniformly along the length of 3200 mm ensure the firm and uniform clamping of the sheet in the cutting area, preventing the displacement of the material during the cut and guaranteeing accuracy across the entire width of the sheet.

• Integrated Bosch Rexroth / Parker Hannifin hydraulic system — the high-efficiency hydraulic pump with flow control and fast response ensures constant cutting force and fast blade return, with optimized energy consumption compared with conventional hydraulic systems.

• Automatic blade-gap adjustment system — no burrs — the Bosch Rexroth / Parker Hannifin automatic blade-gap adjustment system calculates and applies the optimal gap per material thickness, ensuring burr-free cuts without edge deformation, with maximum blade life.

• Siemens / Fisher CNC control — complex programming and job storage — the advanced CNC system with superior automation allows the programming of complex cutting data, the storage and recall of jobs, step-by-step operation and a simple interface — reducing setup times and eliminating manual adjustment errors.

• NC back gauge with 5-program memory — continuous production — the NC back gauge with precise adjustment and memory for 5 sets of programmed parameters allows fast switching between different cutting dimensions without manual re-entry, ideal for production with varied orders.

• SICK Germany safety light curtain — CE operator protection — the SICK light curtain with fast detection and full compliance with European safety standards immediately stops the swing-beam sheet metal shearing machine at any obstacle in the danger zone.

Swing beam versus conventional guillotine — when to choose the WyShear S over the WyShear G

The WyShear G Series with a conventional guillotine offers larger maximum thicknesses (up to 16 mm versus 12 mm for the WyShear S), a Yaskawa servo back gauge with ±0,1 mm accuracy and a speed of 17–20 strokes/minute on the thin models — suitable for high-volume production with high accuracy requirements on thick sheets.

The WyShear S Series swing-beam sheet metal shearing machine is the choice when the cut-edge quality on thin and medium sheets (4–12 mm) is a priority over maximum speed — the swing-beam mechanism maintains a more constant cutting geometry than the conventional guillotine on materials with a tendency to deform in the cutting area. The fixed length of 3200 mm on all models and the 12 pressure columns make the WyShear S Series the standard solution for workshops that process exclusively 3200 mm wide sheets with a varied range of 4–12 mm thicknesses. UZINEX provides free consultancy for selecting the right series.

Applications and industries for the WyShear S Series swing-beam sheet metal shearing machine

The WyShear S Series swing-beam sheet metal shearing machine is intended for workshops and plants that process carbon steel and stainless steel sheets with thicknesses of 4–12 mm in standardized 3200 mm formats, where the cut-edge quality is critical for subsequent bending, welding or finishing operations. The swing-beam system reduces edge deformation compared with the conventional guillotine, generating parts with straighter and cleaner edges.

Manufacturers of machine panels, industrial housings and agricultural equipment that work with 6–12 mm sheets use the WyShear S 6/3200, 8/3200 and 12/3200 models for preparing semi-finished products intended for press-brake bending or stamping operations — the edge quality from the swing-beam sheet metal shearing machine directly influences the quality of the secondary operations on thick materials.

Metal furniture plants and industrial shelving manufacturers that process 4 mm sheets use the WyShear S 4/3200 model of the swing-beam sheet metal shearing machine for cutting sheet metal into precise strips for the frames of shelving and metal structures, with NC memory for 5 frequent dimensions set once and recalled quickly at order change.

How the WyShear S Series swing-beam sheet metal shearing machine works

1. CNC or NC program setup — the operator enters or recalls one of the 5 programs stored in the Siemens/Fisher CNC system: the piece length, the number of pieces and the cutting parameters are set digitally without manual mechanical adjustments.

2. Automatic blade-gap adjustment — the Bosch Rexroth automatic system calculates and applies the optimal gap between the blades for the selected sheet thickness, ensuring burr-free cuts from the first stroke.

3. Sheet clamping with 12 spring pressure columns — the 12 spring pressure columns uniformly clamp the sheet along the entire length of 3200 mm before cutting, preventing the displacement of the material and ensuring accuracy across the entire width of the sheet.

4. Swing-beam cutting with a constant angle — the swing beam moves on the fixed pivot point, maintaining a constant angle relative to the sheet throughout the stroke — 1° for the 4 and 6 mm models, 1,5° for 8 and 12 mm — with the Bosch/Parker hydraulic system providing the necessary force.

5. NC back-gauge advance and cycle repetition — the NC back gauge automatically advances to the programmed dimension; the cycle repeats for the set number of pieces with no manual intervention.

6. SICK safety monitoring — the SICK light curtain continuously monitors the danger zone and immediately stops the swing-beam sheet metal shearing machine at any unauthorized obstacle.

Frequently asked questions about the WyShear S Series swing-beam sheet metal shearing machine

What concrete advantage does the swing-beam mechanism offer over the conventional guillotine?

On a conventional guillotine with purely vertical movement, the effective angle of the blade relative to the sheet varies slightly over the course of the stroke due to the geometry of the mechanism — an effect that is more pronounced on larger thicknesses and longer lengths. The WyShear S Series swing-beam sheet metal shearing machine uses the fixed-pivot mechanism of the swing beam, which maintains a constant geometric angle throughout the cut, generating a straighter edge with less deformation of the material in the cutting area. The difference is most visible on 6–12 mm carbon steel or stainless steel sheets where the edge quality influences the subsequent operations.

How many programs can the NC system of the WyShear S Series store?

The NC system of the WyShear S Series swing-beam sheet metal shearing machine stores 5 sets of cutting parameters. This covers the dimensions frequently used in the workshop's current production, with fast switching between programs without manual re-entry. If the storage requirements are higher — diverse orders with many different formats — the WyShear G models with a full Siemens/Delem CNC system offer unlimited program storage.
