The Roper Whitney MSE1016 has a capacity for 16-gauge mild steel, 20-gauge stainless and up to 121 inches in cutting length. Standard features include a 30-inch front-operated 2x back gauge system and 4-edge high carbon/high chromium (HCHC) blades and precision bearings. This shearing machine is available as a standard model or in the “Performance Package” configuration which includes a 5′ squaring arm, a pair of front support arms, and an air operated sheet support available in either front or rear material return.
Standard Features
- The MSE1016 comes standard with the unique 2x backgauge system. The design of the 2x allows the operator to position the back stop from 0 to 30 inches with only two rotations of the handle. The Speed of the 2x system is unmatched with positioning speeds of just 2 seconds. The optional digital display shows measurements in 0.001″ increments.
- The optional sheet support system is recommended for gauging of thin material. With this air-powered support mechanism, one operator can effectively shear cumbersome, light-gauge stock. The sheet support system is available in two styles: System F is a front return support which drops sheared parts to a front chute for easy retrieval; and support System R which drops sheared material to the rear of the machine. The user can cut materials longer than the standard back gauge length by deactivating the sheet support.
