Innovation: 2-in-one unit
The GINGRAS shear/press brake is a unique machine combining the functionalities of a shear and a press brake. In only 10 seconds, the upper ram rotates 180º, thus transforming the shear into a press brake, and vice versa. The positioning is secured by two hydraulic cylinders, which ensure permanent precision and adjustment.

Ease of use
The GINGRAS shear/press brake is very easy to use and requires only a few hours of training. Your operator will appreciate the GINGRAS’s diversity and flexibility compared to conventional machines. For example, the GINGRAS’s versatility allows for the cutting of a leg of angle iron lengthwise or the beveling of its ends. The upper rotating ram makes it possible to insert complex-shape parts.

Space saving
A combined shear/press brake machine takes half the surface taken by two machines, and requires a lot less maintenance.
