Hydraulic Metal Shear Machine AS-60 Used For Cutting Various Kinds of Steel and Metal

The AS-60 is designed to cut a variety of metals including brass, copper, carbon steel, aluminum, stainless steel, steel cables and small wire bundles. It is suitable for metal recycling, waste steel processing, foundries and similar applications.

The AS-60 delivers a maximum cutting force of 60 kN, providing enough power to shear many types of metal commonly encountered in industrial and recycling operations.

The machine has a blade length of 300 mm and a maximum blade opening (maximum blade gap) of 160 mm for versatile cutting of different profiles and bundles.

The AS-60 operates with a working pressure of 12 MPa and uses a hydraulic drive system for smooth, low-noise operation, low motion inertia and good dynamic performance.

The AS-60 physical dimensions are 1100 x 980 x 800 mm and the machine weight is approximately 1200 kg. Color is optional and can be specified when ordering.

Yes — the AS-60 is a fully automatic hydraulic shear. Core components include PLC control, motor, gearbox, bearings, pump, pressure vessel and related hydraulic components for reliable automated operation.

Typical applications include metal recycling companies, waste steel factories, smelting and foundry enterprises, cable and wire cutting, and small-to-medium scale metal processing operations where compact, automatic shearing is required.

Actual maximum cutting thickness depends on material type, hardness and cross-section. The AS-60's 60 kN force and 160 mm opening allow substantial capacity, but for precise thickness limits and sample cuts please contact the supplier with material details so they can provide material-specific cutting charts or perform tests.

Specific motor power and electrical supply can vary by configuration. The AS-60 includes the necessary motor and hydraulic power system, but exact electrical requirements (voltage, phase, amperage) should be confirmed with the manufacturer or on the machine's specification sheet at order time.

Regular maintenance includes daily visual inspections for leaks and damage, checking hydraulic fluid levels, changing hydraulic oil and filters per the manufacturer's schedule, inspecting and sharpening or replacing blades as cut quality declines, and periodic checks of hoses, fittings and PLC/controls. Follow the supplied maintenance manual for recommended intervals.

The hydraulic drive offers overload protection and stable operation. The machine is designed to accommodate safety guards, emergency stop controls and PLC-managed sequences to protect operators. Additional guarding, lockout/tagout and PPE are recommended per local regulations.

Yes. Replacement parts such as blades, hydraulic pumps, valves, seals and electrical components are available. Contact the supplier or authorized service center for spare parts, troubleshooting support and on-site service options.

Yes. Some options such as machine color, control configurations and ancillary equipment can be customized. For custom blade designs, automation options or site-specific requirements, discuss details with the manufacturer or sales representative.

Key differences are cutting force, blade length and maximum opening: AS-60 (60 kN, 300 mm blade, 160 mm opening, 12 MPa), AS-250 (250 kN, 300 mm blade, 160 mm opening, 15 MPa), AS-630 (630 kN, 600 mm blade, 580 mm opening, 31.5 MPa) and AS-1200 (1200 kN, 600 mm blade, 300 mm opening, 21.5 MPa). Choose the model based on required force, blade length and opening for your materials.

Common checks: ensure hydraulic oil level and condition are correct, inspect for air in the hydraulic system, verify system pressure and pump operation, examine blades for wear or damage and replace/sharpen if needed, check PLC error codes and electrical connections, and confirm that workpiece positioning and feed settings are correct.
