The fixed angle notching machine AF226 has a compact structure, and a shearing head in GS500 fusion with downwards movement. The workbench is fitted with conical slots for housing of the squares. The conical form of the slots has been especially designed to give greater rigidity to the squares to guarantee greater precision. Subject of a SIMASV® patent, the most important characteristic is the automatic adjustment of the slack between the blades from 1 to 6 mm in thickness. The cut may start from the tip of the blades, and the auto-adjustment system between the upper and the lower blades allows simultaneous cutting of different thicknesses.
