Notchers:

Sheet Metal Notcher - Variable Angle

Model AV/B

Model AV 1800

Model LC

Model AV/PA

The variable angle notching machines are available in three versions: the AV series, which includes the AV\B and AV\PA, the LC series and the AV180. All models boast a solid structure, a shearing head in GS500 fusion with downwards movement, and the workbench is fitted with conical slots for housing of the squares. The conical form of the slots has been designed especially to give greater rigidity to the squares to guarantee greater precision. The different models of variable angle notching machines offer a great variety of choice, both in terms of cutting capacity (thicknesses between 1/32" and 3/8") and cutting angle (from 30degree to 180 degrees).

The most important characteristic is the automatic adjustment (SIMASV Patent) of the slack between the blades from 1/32" to 1/4" in thickness. The cut starts from the tip of the base of the blades, and blade adjustments are made automatically between the upper and the lower blades, allows simultaneous cutting of different thicknesses.
All models in this series are equipped with hydraulic blade blockage. The AV/PA version is predisposed for the mounting of a punch head for carrying out drilling, beading, nibbling, shutter slits, straight cuts and so on. There is also the option of activation the cutting or punching unit via the special reversing button.

The LC series, with variable angle from 30 degree to 135 degree, boasts a robust C-shaped structure capable of supporting even sizeable loads. In fact it is one of the few on the market capable of cutting sheet up to a thickness of 3/8", guaranteeing perfect cutting even on elevated thicknesses. The mobile group is well guided and blade slack is adjusted mechanically via two pawls set at the front of the machine.

Subject of a Simasv patent, the AV180 degree series is the only machine on the market with a cutting capacity of up to 180 degree without moving the sheet metal from one angle to the other, and it is for this very characteristic that it lends itself to use in automatic lines and in CN. The shearing head in GS500 fushion is mounted on 4 anti-flexion columns and the robust supports on the head and under the workbench guarantee absolute machine rigidity. The direct frontal reading of the cutting angle avoid laborious calculations between the blades and the squares

Simply put a SIMASV sheet metal notcher is the highest quality and versatile sheet metal notcher on the market, period. As far as sheet metal fabricating equipment is concerned SIMASV sheet metal equipment offers superior machinery for a great value. Our sheet metal notcher line consists of twelve different models demonstrating the companies willingness to provide solutions to several specific market requests.

Main Features:

● The thing that sets our corner notchers apart from other sheet metal equipment out there is our patented blade gap adjustment that allows the operator to cut different thicknesses without any adjustments needed by the operator. This allows our blades to last longer and gives us a nice burr free cut.

● Our machines shear with the blades in the negative position as well as the positive position. Which one you use is based on which part you want to keep, the finished part pulled from the machine (best is Negative) or the dropped piece (best is Positive). Negative cut allows for less deformation on the finished part. Negative cutting clamps the sheet metal down so there isn't any movement. Positive cutting will want to move the sheet away from the stops allowing for room for error.

● The stop guides have dove tail grooves in the tail that allows for a tighter more secure guide setting, allowing our machine more accuracy and repeatability.

● The shearing head is the most rigid in the industry because we employ a five point fixed head. A stable shearing head is very important to blade life, and machine life when notching heavier plate.

● Regarding our variable angle notchers, the variable angle blades are fixed in three positions. The pivot point and the end points of each blade is fixed after adjustment to angle is made. This type of rigidity separates us from other sheet metal fabricating equipment on the market.

● Our notcher with punching capabilities has the punching station in the front of the machine. Many other brands have the punching station in the back of the machine that means you have to waste valuable floor space, because you can't put the machine against a wall. Punching stations in the back of the machine also brings up safety issues to the table. With our notchers you can rest assure that you have the safest option and use the least amount of floor space.

● Our notchers drop the waste into a chute and the chute drops the waste in a bin outside of the machine. Believe it or not, there are some machines on the market where the dropped material goes into a bin in the middle of the machine making the operator have to bend into the machine to take out a heavy bin of scrap to throw out. Thus our machines offer a more ergonomically friendly machine for the operators back.

● Our variable angle machines can notch from 30° up to 140° (Model AV 180° can notch up to 180°). We can shear a 140° notch in one pass with one drop, some other machines require two cuts resulting in two drops.

● We offer notchers that can shear up to 3/8" thick mild steel, with blades up to 9-3/4" long.

● We offer fixed angle and variable angle notchers with or without punching capabilities.
