Brake and shearer 2-in-1

The KECMT manual brake and shear 2-in-1 system combines two critical processes — sheet metal braking (bending) and sheet metal slitting (cutting) — into a single, space-saving machine. Maximum working width 3200 mm, adjustable back gauge, and a manual lever mechanism with tactile control for low-volume or custom jobs.

What the system is

The KECMT manual brake and shear 2-in-1 system represents a versatile innovation in sheet metal fabrication, combining two critical processes — sheet metal braking (bending) and sheet metal slitting (cutting) — into a single, space-saving machine. Designed for workshops and industrial applications requiring high precision and efficiency, this system supports a maximum working width of 3200 mm, making it suitable for large-scale sheet metal processing.

Core functions

Sheet metal braking

  • Bends sheet metal up to 3200 mm in length and 6 mm in thickness for mild steel in the heavy models
  • Adjustable back gauge system ensures repeatable accuracy (±0.1 mm) for complex bends
  • Manual lever mechanism provides tactile control for operators — ideal for low-volume or custom jobs

Sheet metal slitting

  • Slits materials up to 3200 mm in width and 4 mm in thickness (stainless steel, aluminium, galvanised sheets)
  • Dual-action blade design (upper and lower shear blades) ensures clean, burr-free cuts
  • Adjustable blade clearance (0.05–0.5 mm) accommodates varying material hardness

Technical specifications

ParameterSpecification

Key features

  • Integrated design — combines bending and slitting functions, eliminating the need for separate machines; a modular tooling system allows quick switching between bending dies and shear blades
  • Precision control — adjustable back gauge with ±0.1 mm resolution and optional digital readout
  • Durability — high-carbon alloy steel blades at HRC 58–62, welded steel frame with anti-vibration pads
  • Ergonomics — manual lever force ≤30 kg, designed for reduced operator fatigue over a full shift

Applications

  • Flashing, cladding and roofing panel work
  • HVAC duct and fitting fabrication
  • Small-batch custom sheet metal jobs where setup time decides profitability
  • Workshops where floor space cannot take a press brake and a separate guillotine
