M-Shear: Superior integration of hydraulics and electronics
The robust hydraulic systems in the SAFAN M-Shear are controlled by modern electronics. This means that the regulatory mechanism has evolved from hydraulic to electronic technology. A successful

With the M-Shear, the blade cuts four ways. The standard equipment for the SAFAN M-Shear includes blades with four cutting edges, on both the top and bottom. Your shearing is done very economically because blade wear is spread over the blade’s entire length, thanks to the programmable starting position of the cutting beam. Cutting small blanks can also be done on the right side of the shear.
