It is the distance between the cutting edges(die and punch), and it depends on the elasticity and thickness of the material. With higher clearance, rollover and burns can occur. With a lower clearance, a secondary shear can occur. Norck has an expert team that will guarantee you a perfect cut each time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e Shearing: \u003c\/strong\u003eIt is slicing a flat sheet of metal using an inclined blade. Shearing can be done manually using a set of traditional tooling or semi-automatically using a die and a punch. It is preferred to use shearing when making straight cuts, although it can be influenced by the formability of the sheet’s material and thickness. At Norck, we use blade types for each specific material to produce a clean cut with no visible burrs.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"collection_images-inner\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"coll_images oneimgsc\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"img-col\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/4679\/3277\/files\/Shearing.png?v=1663308255\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLasercutting: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/laser-cutting\" title=\"Laser Cutting\"\u003eLaser cutting\u003c\/a\u003e is a thermal method used to obtain custom flat shapes of sheet metal.
