Htc Model 375-6A Hydraulic Metal Shear, 6ft x 3/8 Inch Capacity

The Hte model 375-6A is an industrial hydraulic metal shear designed for precision cutting of mild and stainless steel. This machine features a 6-foot working length with a rated capacity of 3/8 inch for mild steel and 1/4 inch for stainless steel. It utilizes a precision guillotine drive system and a heavy-duty gibbing system with precision machined tapered gibbs to ensure uniform ram travel and high-quality cuts. The shear is equipped with a 36-inch travel PLC backgauge featuring a "go-to" function, multi-job programming, and an LED readout for accurate positioning. Standard technical specifications include a 4-foot squaring arm with an inlaid scale, multiple hand slots, and T-slots in the table for versatile material handling. The cutting system employs infinitely variable, manual, quick-change blade gap adjustment to accommodate various material thicknesses. Safety and operational features include a hydraulic self-compensating hold-down bar assembly with approximately seven hold-downs, a light beam shadow line gauge, and a guarded foot pedal for cycle control. The unit is typically powered by a 20 HP motor, operating on 208/230/460V three-phase power, and reaches a stroke speed of approximately 17 cycles per minute. Construction consists of an all-steel fabricated frame with a total machine weight of approximately 13,000 to 15,100 lbs depending on specific configurations. All components are designed for industrial durability, meeting NFPA 79 and ANSI B11.4 safety standards.
