“We wanted the loading and unloading to be as ergonomic as possible. With the Shear Genius, there is no more shaking out parts, no more loading the sheets by hand. We’ve also eliminated skeletons by taking advantage of common line cutting. We have very rectangular parts, so the right- angle shear was a perfect solution for us. We were able to nest more parts and to achieve better sheet utilization. With our older turret punch press, we were running about 7-8 minutes per sheet compared to the 3-1/2 - 4 minutes with the Prima Power SGe. That’s a 2-to-1 increase in productivity.”
