Metal Shear Angle Calibration Guide

Key Steps for Effective Angle Calibration

  • Check shear alignment using high-precision protractor/angle gauge
  • Loosen blade-holding mechanisms (avoid complete detachment)
  • Incremental adjustments (1-2 degrees per change):
    • Mechanical shears: adjust pivot points/linkages
    • Hydraulic shears: fine-tune hydraulic cylinder settings
  • Inspect for mechanical wear (guide rails, bearings, pivot pins)
  • Replace damaged components before further calibration
  • Perform test cuts on scrap metal and re-measure angles
  • Tighten components securely after achieving accuracy
  • Implement regular maintenance (lubrication, wear checks)

Pro Tips for Calibration

  • Always record initial angle measurements for reference
  • Use light tension when re-tightening to prevent misalignment
  • Perform calibration in a stable environment free from vibrations
  • Consider using digital angle indicators for higher precision

Note: Consistent calibration ensures precise cuts, reduces material waste, and extends equipment lifespan.
