Automec Tiger Stop and Shear Systems
Frontgauge Squaregage Systems
Each drive is built around a heavy duty extrusion that runs the full length of each drive. Support legs are connected directly to this extrusion to bear all weight. A 1/8” thick steel enclosure is added for additional strength.
Studies show that the majority of shearing time is consumed in set-up…not shearing. SQUAGEGAGE reduces that set-up time and increases shear productivity, especially when accurate square blanks are required.
Several cuts can be made on the same blank without putting the piece down. SQUAREGAGE rapidly repositions after each shear cycle with the operator holding the part against the front stops and/or squaring the arm. Oftentimes, the finished blank remains in hand to reduce retrieval time and eliminate material scratching.
Some customers simply use SQUAREGAGE as a go-to gauge for single position cuts.
The typical Squaregage user can usually be identified by large piles of material in front of the shear, and oftentimes two operators. Work pieces are often larger in size so backgauging introduces too much sheet sag. Also, if the dimensions and squareness of the blank are critical, it must be gauged from the front with scrap falling off the back.
Operators often use the Squaregage as a quick go-to gauge although sequential positioning is possible. Angle cutting is also possible.

PS50 Shearfeed Systems
The operator loads a blank onto PS 50, locks the parts in place with pneumatic grippers, and sets the feed in motion which automatically triggers a shear, punch or stamping machine.
PS 50 advances the material towards the shear blade or punch in increments automatically triggering the secondary machine. When complete, the system retracts for removal and loading of the next piece.
Side-to-side adjustable pneumatic fingers grip the work-piece for feeding. Grippers can be placed up to 5 ft. apart and travel up to 49” front to rear. Gripper can move to within 1” of the punch or shear blade. 3/16” dia. pins on each gripper fit into a corresponding hole on the blank for accurate referencing.
Rugged 1” dual ball screws and (4) ¾” shafts handle the sheet movement. A 1000 watt closed loop D.C. servo motor/amplifier drives the system with speed and precision. Travel is 49”.
Gauging from the front of the device using one reference point on the work-piece eliminates cumulative tolerance buildup experienced with backgauging. All dimensions will be within ± .002” of the original reference.
PS 50 utilizes the CNC300 Automec control. It features storage of 300 jobs, shop rugged LED display, and an RS232 computer interface.
The jobs can be set-up on the shop floor and uploaded to the computer for future runs or can be programmed in the office and downloaded to the CNC300.
In either case the operator can easily make changes on CNC300 to correct for minor variations without disturbing the jobs stored in the computer memory.
No programming or tape prep experience is required. The operator simply enters a load position and desired punch or shear dimensions. Once the advance key is depressed the blank is moved into position for the first operation and the shear or punch is activated. When the ram reaches top of stroke the PS 50 advances the material to the next step until the piece is complete. It then returns the grippers to the load position for unloading and loading of the next piece.
Gauging from the device using one reference point on the workpiece eliminates cumulative tolerance buildup experienced with backgauging. All dimensions will tolerance within ± .002” of the original reference.
The operator’s hands are kept free of the punch or shear and reduced handling of the material reduces chance of injury.

The truth about part accuracy: Your actual part accuracy will depend on a number of factors outside of TigerStop LLC’s control. This includes but is not limited to condition and type of saw blade, speed of cut, clamping options selected for the machine, material type, material straightness and internal tension of the material, feed speeds, temperature and moisture of the product being cut will all affect your quality and the accuracy of cuts. Also, we have found that there are distinct differences in measuring devices used to validate dimensions of cut parts that can affect apparent accuracy. These factors will affect all cut off systems, regardless of the manufacturer.
