CAMT QC12Y Swing Beam Type Hydraulic Shears For Sale
The QC12Y is a swing-beam hydraulic shear designed to deliver clean, accurate cuts on metal plates of varying thicknesses. It uses a moving upper blade and a fixed lower blade, with an optimized blade gap that applies controlled shearing force to separate the material exactly to size.
Dual hydraulic cylinders work in tandem to keep the blade beam moving in perfect parallel throughout the stroke. By adjusting the oil volume in the circuit, operators can change the rake (shear) angle on demand. For thinner materials, a reduced rake angle minimizes distortion while shortening the blade stroke — resulting in higher strokes per minute and faster production rates.
A nitrogen accumulator assists the return cylinders, significantly reducing non-cutting time between cycles and boosting overall productivity.
The result is a reliable, high-output shear that combines precision, speed, and consistent edge quality for everyday fabrication work.

Key Advantages of CAMT QC12Y Swing Beam Type Hydraulic Shears
Synchronized Parallel Cutting
Dual hydraulic cylinders work in tandem to keep the upper blade perfectly parallel throughout the entire stroke. This ensures consistent cutting force and clean, straight edges across the full length of the plate.
Adjustable Rake Angle for Different Materials
Operators can change the shear angle according to material thickness and type. A smaller angle for thin sheets reduces distortion and shortens the stroke, increasing strokes per minute and overall productivity.
High-Precision Servo Back Gauge
The ball-screw driven back gauge is controlled by servo motor with digital display. It offers fast, accurate positioning and can be lifted for cutting extra-long sheets beyond the standard gauge length.
Fast Return with Nitrogen Accumulator
A nitrogen accumulator assists the return cylinders, significantly reducing non-cutting time between cycles. This increases the machine’s stroke rate and overall throughput in continuous production.
Optional Pneumatic Sheet Support
The pneumatic support system automatically raises and lowers to hold large or thin plates during cutting. It prevents sagging and deformation, delivering higher cutting accuracy and better surface quality.
User-Friendly Digital Control
Equipped with Estun E21S (or optional DAC-360T) controller, the system allows easy adjustment of back gauge, shear angle, blade gap and stroke. Program memory and power-off protection make daily operation simple and reliable.
ESTUN E21S Simple Digital Control
The Estun E21S digital control system puts complete and intuitive command of the shear in the operator’s hands. Every critical parameter — back gauge position, cutting angle, blade gap and stroke length — can be adjusted quickly and with high precision, allowing the machine to be fine-tuned for different materials and thicknesses in seconds.
Intelligent positioning supports both unilateral and bidirectional movement, while the retract function and automatic reference search reduce setup time and eliminate common positioning errors. One-key parameter backup and restore, combined with fast position indexing, makes it easy to switch between jobs or recover settings after maintenance. The controller stores up to 40 complete programs, each with 25 steps, so frequently used cutting sequences can be recalled instantly. Power-off protection ensures that all programs and parameters remain safely stored even in the event of an unexpected shutdown, delivering reliable, uninterrupted production day after day.
DAC-360T featuring:
The optional DAC-360T controller upgrades the machine with a clear 7-inch widescreen TFT colour display and a practical panel-based design. Operators can control both the back and front gauges, adjust cutting angle and blade gap, and set precise stroke length limits with ease. Manual movement of all axes is supported, along with force control and a useful Return-to-Sender function that further streamlines daily operation.
The system stores up to 100 programs for quick recall of frequently used cutting sequences. It also works seamlessly with the sheet support system and includes a sheet thickness measurement function, giving operators greater accuracy and consistency when processing different materials.
Technical Highlights
- Advanced Optical Amplification: Employs pump light excitation of doped ions within the fiber core, driving photon oscillation and amplification to output a stable, high-power beam through the resonant cavity.
- Compact & Flexible Architecture: Designed for seamless system integration, maximizing workspace utility without compromising power output.
BGA Accurate & Fast BGA System
The CAMT back gauge system moves in perfect synchronisation with the swinging upper beam. Positioned by a servo motor that drives a precision ball screw through a gear reduction unit, it delivers fast and highly accurate positioning. Operators can move the gauge forward or backward simply by pressing the “+” or “–” buttons, with the exact position shown clearly on the digital display. For ultra-fine adjustments, a manual handwheel is available to achieve the precise setting required.
When the sheet length exceeds the maximum gauge range, the gauge plate can be moved fully to the rear and lifted clear, allowing unrestricted cutting of extra-long plates. The result is a convenient, reliable and highly flexible gauging system that maintains accuracy across a wide variety of job sizes.
Pneumatic Sheet Support System for Precision Shearing Machine
The optional pneumatic sheet support system uses air cylinders powered by compressed air to automatically raise and lower the support frame. During the cutting cycle it holds the plate firmly in position, preventing sagging and deformation that can compromise accuracy — especially on large, thin or heavy sheets.
Compared with traditional mechanical or manual supports, the pneumatic system responds quickly, operates smoothly and requires minimal maintenance. Its energy-efficient design and simple adjustment make it particularly well suited to automated or high-precision production, helping operators achieve consistent cutting quality and higher overall throughput.
Shear Distortion Prevention: Principle and Function
The Anti-Twist System prevents distortion of the sheet during cutting by combining secure clamping with precise guiding. It firmly holds the material in place to restrict unwanted horizontal movement while distributing cutting forces evenly across the plate. This minimises localised stress, especially on narrow or thin strips that are most prone to twisting.
Working in coordination with the hydraulic system, the device can also adjust clamping force according to material thickness and type, helping maintain flatness under a wide range of cutting conditions. As a result, operators achieve cleaner, straighter edges, reduced sliding and fewer surface marks on sensitive materials such as polished stainless steel or pre-painted sheets. The system lowers the need for rework, improves overall process reliability and expands the machine’s capability to handle high-precision or surface-critical jobs with confidence.
