날 갭(Clearance) 설정의 기본

Baseline and material factors

A consistent guillotine shear blade clearance setup starts with a baseline and a disciplined way to adjust it as material strength changes.

A widely adopted baseline for guillotine shear clearance is ~7% of material thickness, with two directional failure modes that define the usable window:

• Too much clearance → tearing and burr.
• Too little clearance → a double cut/step.

중요한: Treat ~7% as a starting reference, not a universal specification. The valid clearance window depends on the machine, blade condition, and the material’s strength and thickness—and must be verified on your specific shear by measuring left/center/right and confirming with controlled test cuts.

Where available, record and follow your OEM’s stated blade-gap guidance. For example, the Tennsmith LM/MSE manual notes a factory-set blade clearance of .003 in at the ends and .002 in at the center, and emphasizes that clearance must be reset after turning to a new edge or after re-sharpening (Tennsmith MSE1016 Operation & Maintenance Manual; see References section).

Setting and verifying the gap

Treat clearance as a measured setting, not a knob position.

Minimum tool kit

• Feeler gauges (clean, undamaged)
• Micrometer/caliper (material thickness + blade checks)
• Dial indicator (parallelism checks)
• Clean shims (if your shear uses shim packs)

Verification sequence (repeatable, audit-friendly)

1. Isolate/lock off the machine and confirm guards/hold-downs are safe.
2. Clean blade seats and clamping faces (chips under a seat behave like “bad clearance”).
3. Measure actual sheet thickness (don’t trust nominal).
4. Set target clearance and record the basis (thickness + material class).
5. Verify clearance at left/center/right with a feeler gauge.
6. Run a short test cut on representative scrap and inspect the edge.

핵심 요점: If left/center/right don’t agree, your “clearance” is three different clearances.

Compensating after regrind

Regrinding changes installed geometry and seating height. Your protocol should treat “post-regrind install” as a controlled setup event:

• Clean seats, verify torque, then re-check clearance at left/center/right.
• Record the measured values as the new baseline.
• Confirm with a test cut before releasing to production.

The burr-height bands in the tables below reflect the measurement criteria Maxtor Metal uses when evaluating blade condition during field audits for shear blade customers.

버(Burr) 허용 한계 및 날 기하학적 형상

Burr height bands by thickness and strength

A burr height threshold for shearing only works if it’s tied to an action. Use bands so different shifts don’t make different decisions on the same edge.

Example internal acceptance criteria (not an international standard)

Below is an example of internal burr-height limits used in production control. The measurement criteria in the tables below reflect the blade condition thresholds Maxtor Metal references when evaluating shear blade performance during field reviews. Validate and adjust against your OEM guidance, customer requirements, and your own process capability.

(A) Low-carbon steel (≤350 MPa)

(B) High-strength steel (350–700 MPa)

Because of springback and a larger fracture zone, limits are often tightened/shifted.

Decision rule

• Green: keep running; log the measurement.
• Amber: rotate at the next planned stop.
• Red: rotate now; if red persists after verified clearance, trigger regrind.

Measurement method (make the data defensible)

• Tooling: a burr gauge or a toolmaker microscope (e.g., 50×), with a defined reading rule.
• Sampling: measure left/center/right, 3 points each (9 readings total); record max, average, and standard deviation.
• Minimum resolution: use an instrument with resolution at least 0.01mm (preferably finer).
• Repeatability: if multiple shifts measure, run a simple check to confirm different operators obtain comparable readings.

Edge chamfer/hone and visual cues

Burr is not only a clearance problem. A sharp blade with poor gap can burr—but a dull blade with perfect gap can burr too.

Use visual cues that are easy to standardize:

• Reflective bright line along the edge: rounded bevel (edge no longer a crisp line).
• Micro-chipping: repeating burr “spikes” along the cut length.
• Double cut/step: frequently correlates with clearance too tight (verify before regrind).

Sampling and measurement method

If you want burr data you can defend, standardize sampling and the measuring tool.

Sampling cadence (simple default)

• Once per shift per active shear, and once immediately after any clearance change or rotation.

What to record

• Material family + thickness
• Clearance target and measured left/center/right
• Burr height (max observed) + method
• Operator/shift and action taken

Avoid “looks OK.” If you don’t have a dedicated burr gauge, use a consistent comparator method until you do.

나이프 회전 교체 주기 및 이력 로그

Edge-use sequence (four sides)

A 4-edge blade only pays off if your rotation order is standardized.

Recommended rule: rotate in a fixed sequence (Edge 1 → 2 → 3 → 4). If you skip an edge due to a nick, document it and why. A fixed rotation order prevents accidental reuse of a degraded edge and makes the log unambiguous—if you always rotate 1→2→3→4, any out-of-sequence entry is immediately visible as an anomaly.

Rotation “done when…”

• Clearance verified left/center/right
• One controlled test cut inspected
• Log updated (edge number, date, cut count estimate)

Shift-level inspection cadence

A practical cadence for mixed steels:

• Start of shift / job change: quick edge visual check + verify the last recorded clearance basis matches the job.
• During production: burr sample at the defined interval; record any change in cut sound as a note.
• End of shift: decision logged (keep / rotate / pull for regrind).

Rotation record template essentials

Your rotation record is the backbone of traceability—and the easiest place for gaps to hide.

Minimum fields (audit-ready)

• Blade set ID, machine ID
• Edge number in use (1–4)
• Material mix (thickness range + tensile class)
• Clearance target + measured left/center/right
• Burr height + measurement method
• Decision and sign-off

Two fields that make the log useful for cost and planning:

• Estimated cut count or runtime
• Regrind count

That set of fields is enough to be a reversible shear blade rotation log that quality and maintenance can both use.

재연마 기준 및 연삭 관리

Triggers and minimum removal

Regrind is a controlled response to sustained indicators—not the first reaction.

Trigger regrind when BOTH are true

1. Burr stays in your red band, and
2. Clearance has been verified (left/center/right) and corrected, but burr remains above limit.

Also trigger regrind (or replacement) for chips, cracks, or if the blade has reached OEM minimum dimensions.

On minimum removal: remove only what’s needed to restore a continuous edge and the correct bevel. Heavy passes shorten total life.

Preserve geometry and tolerances

Your shear blade regrind criteria should protect geometry first—because geometry drift forces clearance changes, and clearance changes drive burr.

In neutral technical terms (and consistent with how Maxtor Metal approaches precision grinding work):

• Track OEM minimum dimensions and allowable tolerances as controlled limits.
• Control grinding heat; heat tint/discoloration is a reject signal.
• Verify straightness and thickness consistency across the full length.
• Lightly hone/deburr after grinding to avoid installing a fragile burr that breaks off into product.

Post-grind checkpoints to standardize:

• No heat tint on the edge
• Straightness/flatness verified (straight edge or dial indicator method)
• Thickness checked at multiple points (micrometer)

Industry practice for post-grind dimensional tolerances typically targets thickness parallelism within 0.05 mm end-to-end and thickness variation ≤0.025 mm per 300 mm of blade length—confirm against your OEM’s stated limits. Maxtor Metal’s post-grind inspection protocol includes heat-tint verification, full-length straightness measurement, and micrometer-based thickness mapping at five positions before any reground blade is released from production. If regrind intervals remain short despite disciplined geometry control, the underlying blade grade may be the constraint — the carbide microstructure and failure-mode selection framework between D2 and SKD11 is covered in the D2 vs SKD11 tool steel selection guide for shearing blades.

For operations where regrind frequency is the primary cost driver—particularly on AHSS or coated materials—switching to a carbide-inlaid blade construction can significantly extend edge life between regrind events. A full cost-per-meter model and pilot benchmark data are available in the Tungsten Carbide Inlaid Shear Blades ROI Guide for AHSS.

Post-grind installation checks

After reinstalling a reground set:

• Clean seats, torque to spec, verify clearance left/center/right.
• Run a test cut and measure burr.
• Record the baseline so the next shift isn’t guessing.

For the full shim stack calculation method after regrind, see the regrinding thickness reduction compensation and shim stack guide.

마모 보완 신호로서의 모터 부하

Baseline current profile

Motor load/current won’t replace burr or clearance checks, but it can corroborate rising cutting resistance.

Start with a baseline:

• Use VFD/drive readings or installed sensors.
• Baseline by material family and thickness band.
• Trend over weeks, not one day.

그만큼 ReliaMag note on baselining and trending motor current captures the key pitfall: without baselines, trending, and thresholds, current data is just noise.

Alert bands and safe monitoring

Set alert bands relative to your own baseline and validate them on known-good runs.

If you use current transformers, follow CT safety rules: NK Technologies’ guidance on current monitoring for predictive maintenance notes that CT secondaries must not be left open-circuit when energized.

Correlation with burr and clearance

Use current as a cross-check:

• Rising current + rising burr + verified clearance drift → fix setup first.
• Rising current + stable burr → check hold-down, alignment, lubrication, or mechanical drag.
• Stable current + rising burr → likely edge geometry/dullness.

• If there is any conflict between this protocol and an OEM manual, follow the OEM manual and record the deviation in the log.

Rotation and regrind traceability

Minimum traceability pack per blade set:

• Blade ID and spec (where available)
• Rotation log (edge usage history)
• Regrind log (date, key checks, pass/fail)
• Nonconformance notes (what happened, what was corrected)

OEM-dependent limits and audits

Write into the SOP that OEM limits win:

• Minimum blade dimensions after regrinds
• Straightness/flatness limits
• Hole/seat wear limits

Attach OEM charts/manual pages as controlled documents (with revision) if your quality system requires it.

Training and continuous improvement

Train for consistency:

• clearance measurement left/center/right
• double-cut vs tearing identification
• burr measurement and recording
• rotate vs regrind decision logic

Then review logs monthly to adjust burr bands to your downstream requirements—not to opinion.

우수 사례 연구(적용 예시)

The following case example is drawn from a maintenance review conducted with a Maxtor Metal D2 shear blade customer. Customer identity anonymized per standard disclosure practice.

Context

• Factory: automotive parts stamping center (anonymous)
• Machine: 3200 mm hydraulic guillotine shear
• Blade: 4-edge reversible D2 shear blades (vacuum heat-treated, 3200 mm, supplied by Maxtor Metal)
• Material: ASTM A36, 4 mm
• Operation: two shifts/year-round

Results represent a single documented maintenance trial; outcomes may vary by machine type, material grade, and operating conditions.

Before (no standardized rotation schedule)

• Rotation triggered inconsistently when burr “looked bad”
• Uneven utilization across edges (Edge 1 over-used; Edge 2 nearly new; Edge 3/4 inconsistent)
• No rotation log

After (measurement-based schedule + rotation log)

Inspection every 120–150 operating hours (interval established from baseline wear data collected during the first two months of the trial; adjust to your actual wear curve and OEM guidance), recording:

• Edge No.
• Operating hours
• Burr height
• 칼날 끝 반경 (Edge radius)
• Operator

Rotate when any of the following occurs:

• Burr > 0.10 mm
• Edge radius ≈ 0.20–0.30 mm
• Cut sound changes noticeably
• Burnished zone increases visibly

Measurement sequence for the first piece each shift:

• Tooling: 50× toolmaker microscope + burr gauge
• Method: left/center/right, 3 points each (9 readings total); record max/avg/std dev; trend for 3 shifts

결과

메모: The burr-height thresholds and rotation intervals shown above represent an example of an internal production standard for a 4 mm low-carbon steel application. Actual acceptance limits should be validated against the machine OEM recommendations, customer quality requirements, material grade, and sheet thickness.

결론

A 4-edge reversible blade gives you four chances to stay ahead of burr and downtime—if you manage it like a controlled process.

Tie actions to quantified thresholds: verify clearance, measure burr, rotate to the next edge first, and regrind only when limits persist across a verified setup. Done well, this stabilizes cut quality, extends rotation and regrind intervals, lowers TCO, and protects OEE.

That’s why Maxtor Metal includes rotation log templates and regrind criteria checklists in its blade maintenance documentation—the measurement discipline is built into the delivery, not left to be reconstructed at the machine.

FAQs:

Q: 기요틴 시어(샤링기)의 나이프 갭(클리어런스) 설정 시 적절한 초기 기준값은 얼마입니까?

A common baseline is around 7% of material thickness, then adjust for material strength and actual edge results. The Shear Fundamentals training note explains both the baseline and the failure modes.

Q: 전단 버(Burr)의 원인이 날 갭(클리어런스) 불량인지, 아니면 칼날 마모(무뎌짐) 때문인지 어떻게 구별합니까?

A: 먼저 칼날의 좌측, 중앙, 우측 3개 지점의 갭을 실측 검증하십시오. 정밀 조정 후에도 버가 계속 발생한다면 날 끝의 기하학적 형상 변화(베벨 라운딩 현상, 미세 치핑)를 의심해야 합니다. 절단면에 '이중 전단면(ดับเบิ้ล 컷) 또는 단차'가 보이면 갭이 너무 타이트한 상태이고, '뜯겨짐(인장 파단) 및 중증 버'가 발생하면 대개 갭이 너무 넓은 상태를 의미합니다。

Q: 4면 전환식(Reversible) 샤링기 나이프는 언제 회전 교체(반전)해야 합니까?

A: 전단 버(Burr) 치수가 관리 기준의 '황색 경고 구간(Amber band)'에 진입하거나, 초기 날 끝 라운딩 현상이 보일 때 즉시 반전하십시오. 이를 통해 계획 정지 시간 내에 작업을 완료할 수 있습니다. 나이프 회전 교체는 정밀 재연마보다 비용이 훨씬 저렴하며 설비종합효율(OEE)을 방어하는 핵심 수단입니다。

Q: 나이프를 회전 교체(반전)하는 대신 재연마를 진행해야 하는 타이밍은 언제입니까?

A: (1) 새로운 날로 회전 교체하고 (2) 날 갭(클리어런스) 및 평행도를 실측 검증한 후에도 전단 버(Burr)가 관리 한계치를 초과할 때 재연마를 실시하십시오. 또한, 날 끝에 치핑(이가 빠짐), 크랙(균열)이 발생했거나 OEM 규격의 최소 한계 치수에 도달한 경우에도 재연마 또는 교체가 필요합니다。

Q: 품질 감사를 통과하기 위해 나이프 회전 교체 기록부(Rotation log)에 반드시 포함해야 할 항목은 무엇입니까?

A: 나이프 ID, 설비 ID, 사용 날 번호, 피삭재 강종/두께, 목표 갭 치수 + 실측 갭 치수(좌/우/중앙), 전단 버(Burr) 높이 + 측정 방식, 조치 사항, 최종 승인 서명이 포함되어야 합니다. 여기에 총소유비용(TCO) 분석을 위해 누적 컷 수/가동 시간 및 재연마 횟수를 추가하십시오。

Q: 모터 전류 모니터リング(부하 감시)으로 전단 버(Burr) 및 나이프 갭(클리어런스) 실측 검사를 대체할 수 있습니까?

A: 불가능합니다. 전류값은 교차 검증용 신호이자 트렌드 지표일 뿐입니다. 절단 저항의 상승을 조기에 감지할 수는 있지만, 물리적인 실측 없이는 그것이 갭 변동(흐름 현상) 때문인지 아니면 날 끝 형상 변화 때문인지 정확히 진단할 수 없습니다 。
