2. Material Quality The quality of materials used in the construction of the machine also affects pricing. Machines made from high-grade steel and other durable materials are often priced higher but offer better longevity and performance. Additionally, machines that are engineered to handle various materials, such as aluminum or galvanized steel, may also command a premium price.
The operation of machine shears involves two primary components the upper blade and the lower blade
. The upper blade (or moving blade) applies a downward force, effectively compressing the material against the lower, stationary blade. When the force exceeds the material's shear strength, it causes the material to fracture along the line of cut. The angle of the blades, the speed of the cut, and the type of material being sheared are crucial factors that influence the quality of the cut and the finish of the edges.
