Core Features

Bellcrank Linkage System

Each AS model uses a single large-bore hydraulic cylinder to power a bellcrank linkage drive, delivering full cutting force across the entire table. This eliminates swing-beam balancing issues and ensures clean, distortion-free shears with every cycle.

Blade Gap Adjustment & Gibbing

Models 14 feet and longer (or ½” capacity and up) include a front-operated, infinitely variable power blade gap system. Oil-impregnated Nylatron guides and precision-machined gibs ensure long-term accuracy with minimal wear or heat buildup.

Serviceability & Component Access

All electrical and hydraulic parts are common, non-proprietary components from trusted brands like Siemens and Vickers—guaranteeing future availability and serviceability.
