52 Inch Industrial Foot Shear Sheet Metal Cutter

Piranha hydraulic shears feature the advanced Delem DAC-360 control system, which provides CNC control of critical cutting parameters including blade gap and rake angle. This advanced controller ensures optimal cutting performance, repeatable accuracy, and ease of operation. The system integrates with AC servo-driven ball screw backgauge systems with 39" standard travel for precise material positioning.

Piranha hydraulic shears are equipped with Leuze light curtain/photocell safety systems to protect operators during cutting operations. Each unit undergoes rigorous inspection under Piranha's 'Perfect Machine' Process at the Rockford, Illinois facility prior to shipment. Safety systems comply with current industrial standards and are designed to prevent accidental blade engagement during material handling and setup.

Piranha provides comprehensive technical support including service manuals, filter lists, and maintenance documentation for all hydraulic shear models. Customer service is available at 800-338-5471 for parts verification and ordering assistance. The company offers same-day parts shipping from Belvidere, IL, along with installation checklists and warranty guidance to ensure proper setup and long-term reliability.

Industrial foot shears are essential equipment for metal fabrication shops, trailer OEMs, truck body manufacturers, structural steel fabricators, and custom fabrication operations. They're widely used in trucking and trailer manufacturing, power and transformer production, switchgear fabrication, and any facility requiring precision cutting of steel plate for industrial manufacturing applications.

Piranha hydraulic shears utilize Bosch (Rexroth) hydraulic systems, recognized globally for reliability and performance in industrial metalworking applications. The hydraulic system powers the shearing action while maintaining consistent cutting force across the full blade length. Combined with the 3-point roller gib system and high-quality alloy 2-piece blades, the Bosch hydraulics deliver precise, repeatable cuts with minimal maintenance requirements.
