Premium CNC Shearing Machine
Solutions
Precision sheet metal cutting for job shops and OEM lines worldwide — swing beam, guillotine and hydraulic shears engineered for repeatability and long-term production value.
What is a CNC shearing machine?
A CNC shearing machine cuts sheet metal along a straight line between an upper and lower blade. It works like industrial scissors but with much higher force and precision, making it ideal for fast, repeatable cutting of rectangular blanks in fabrication shops. ZW CNC offers both swing beam and guillotine shearing machines to match different thickness ranges and production needs.

SHEARING MACHINE SOLUTIONS
Expertly engineered for precision, speed, and long-term reliability.

Swing Beam Shearing Machine
Fast & economical straight-line cutting
Pivoting upper beam design for faster cutting cycles and lower cost. Ideal for thin to medium thickness plates in general fabrication workshops.
- Faster cutting cycles for straight cuts
- Cost-effective hydraulic structure
- Fixed shear angle, simple operation

Guillotine Shearing Machine
Adjustable shear angle for thicker plates
Vertical upper beam movement with adjustable shear angle. Better suited for thicker plates and more demanding cutting requirements.
- Adjustable shear angle for different thicknesses
- Higher cutting capacity
- Better cutting quality on thick plates
