| Is it necessary to adjust the blades for the cutting of different thicknesses? |
| No. The cutting system of the Simasv notching machines is self-adjusting and therefore it is possible to cut different thicknesses without the need to create the clearance between the upper and lower blades |
|
| What is the maximum cutting thickness? |
| The different notching machines available includes the LC series which can cut thicknesses from 8 to 10 mm. |
|
| What cutting angle is available? |
| The fixed angle notching machines can carry out 90° cuts, while the different variable angle notching machines offer cutting angles between 30° and 180°. |
|
| Is it possible to cut sheet stainless steel? |
| Certainly. It is possible to cut sheet stainless steel, although the greater hardness of the material allows the cutting of lesser thicknesses with respect to normal iron. |
|
| How is the same cutting angle maintained for mass-produced notching works? |
| Once the cutting angle has been set using the handwheels it is possible to lock it using the pins on the handwheels, designed for this very purpose. |
|
| Is there an instrument to set a determined cutting depth? |
| The internal stop bar on the right-hand side of the machine allows the operator to set the desired cutting depth. |
|
| Is it possible to process even very small pieces of sheet metal? |
| Yes, it is sufficient to set the lateral mechanical hold-downs on the sides of the head |
|
| Is it possible to adjust the blade group stroke and when could it be useful to do so? |
| The blade group stroke can be adjusted using the stroke limiter set above the shearing head. Stroke adjustment may prove useful when carrying out cuts with a length lower than the entire length of the blade. |
|
| There are 15° and 30° blades. When should these be used? |
| The first are used to make cuts with a total minimum angle of 30° and the second with minimum cuts of 60°. |
|
| Do some notching machine models include a punching station? |
| The AF/P fixed angle notching machines series and the AV/PA variable angle notching series are fit to be equipped with a punching head. |
|
| What is the maximum punching diameter? |
| The fixed angle series offers a maximum diameter of 60 mm, while the variable angle series offers a maximum diameter of 40 mm. |
|
| When working in notching mode how can the punching unit be disabled? |
| The special selector should be positioned on the cutting unit and the punch-holder must be removed by unscrewing the special ring nuts. |
|
| When working in punching mode is it necessary to remove the cutting blades? |
| No, the machine features double adjustment, one for the notching function and one for the punching function. The blades do not interfere. |
