The Simasv patented AV180° series Variable-angle notching machines feature a unique 180° cutting capacity, eliminating the need for sheet metal movement. This makes them ideal for use in automatic lines and CN. The GS500 has a shearing head installed on 4 anti-flexion columns, while the highly robust supports on both the head and under the bench provide excellent rigidity. As this model features direct frontal reading of the cutting angle it completely eliminates extensive calculations between the blades and the squares.
