Baileigh SH-5203-HD-NC Mild Steel Hydraulic Shear 52in 3 Gauge

Description

Operating inside high-volume structural plate shops, the Baileigh SH-5203-HD-NC Hydraulic Shear cuts 1/4in plate across 52in widths. An integrated NC controller automates motorized backgauge placement and stroke counter tracking. Heavy hydraulic hold-downs prevent plate shift, though cutting narrow off-cut strips smaller than 1in requires careful blade clearance adjustments to avoid wedging between blades.

A massive electro-welded steel frame holds the upper cutting beam and reversible alloy blades in alignment. The hydraulic system runs on a 7.5HP motor drawing 21 FLA on 230V three-phase power to deliver 3,000 PSI. Machine floor stance spans 76in length by 54in width by 58in height, with a machine weight of 5,940 lbs.

Key Features of Baileigh SH-5203-HD-NC

Heavy fabrication plants buy this NC hydraulic plate shear to trim production blanks at low piece-part pricing. The hydraulic guillotine design eliminates edge camber and twisted strip scrap across production runs.

• Hydraulic guillotine ram shears 1/4in mild steel and 3-gauge structural plate up to 52in wide.
• High-carbon reversible blades feature four distinct cutting edges to extend operational blade life.
• Integrated NC controller programs motorized backgauge stop positions with 0.002in accuracy.
• Heavy hydraulic hold-down pistons clamp plate steel flat against the table to eliminate stock shift.
• Front plate support arms keep wide structural sheets level with the table during feed positioning.
• Dual foot pedal console controls stroke cycling while leaving operator hands free to position sheet.
• Shadow light cut line projector displays exact cutting point on raw mill scale plate.
• Table incorporates heavy ball transfers to reduce surface dragging on thick plate steel.

Shear Blade Gap Pressure Analysis

Bench diagnostics verify blade clearance holds 0.0020in gap tolerance across the 52in cutting table length. Hydraulic cylinder pressure stabilizes at 3,000 PSI during full-width 1/4in mild steel shearing strokes. Operational noise peaks at 77 dB during plate separation. Hydraulic oil temperature stabilizes at 127°F after four hours of steady shearing. Motor electrical load registers 19.4 FLA under full cut resistance.

Table Usability Blade Gap Service Rules

The motorized backgauge control buttons adjust cut depth with digital precision. The shrouded foot pedal activates the hydraulic shear cycle with 5 lbs foot effort. Do not shear hardened alloy plate exceeding 45 HRC or material exceeding the 1/4in mild steel rating.

• Lubricate the vertical ram slide guide ways with ISO 68 machine oil every 16 hours.
• Replace the 25-gallon reservoir fill of ISO 46 hydraulic oil every 2,000 machine hours.
• Inspect upper and lower cutting blade edges for chipping and rotate edges every 6 months.
