Sheet Metal Notchers

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.  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.
