What This Machine Does
The BY60100C shapes flat surfaces and formed surfaces with a single point tool, and it is aimed squarely at single piece and small batch production, the work where setting up a milling cutter or a broach is not worth it. Both the main cutting movement and the feed are hydraulically driven with stepless speed adjustment, so the stroke speed and the feed per stroke are dialled in rather than selected from gears. That hydraulic drive is also why the transmission is smooth, the excess of stroke is small and starting and stopping are reliable and flexible: the ram is not being thrown by a mechanical linkage. A hydraulic overload insurance device protects the machine and the tool when the cut runs into something it should not. Rigidity is high, cutting force is strong and reversing precision is good, and because oil temperature stays low there is little thermal deformation, so accuracy holds through continuous work. The table moves fast in vertical and horizontal directions, the tool post has automatic tool relief, and the handles are centralised.
Why Buyers Choose This Machine
- Hydraulic main cutting and feed movement with stepless speed adjustment so stroke and feed are set to the job
- Small excess of stroke means less wasted travel beyond the cut on every stroke
- Hydraulic overload insurance device protects the machine and the tool when the cut hits an obstruction
- High rigidity and strong cutting force so it takes heavy cuts rather than nibbling
- High reversing precision at each end of the stroke keeps the surface consistent
- Low oil temperature and small thermal deformation so accuracy holds through continuous work
- Fast table movement in vertical and horizontal directions cuts setup time
- Automatic tool relief on the tool post so the tool does not drag on the return stroke
- Centralised handles make the machine convenient to operate
Where BY60100C Horizontal Hydraulic Shaper Machine Earns Its Place
Problems It Solves
- Setting up a milling cutter or broach for a single part costs more than the part is worth
- Gear-driven stroke speeds force a compromise rate rather than the right one
- A mechanically driven ram overtravels and wastes time on every stroke
- A tool dragging on the return stroke marks the surface and dulls the edge
- An unprotected drive breaks tools and damages the machine when a cut runs into an obstruction
- A machine whose oil heats up distorts and the accuracy drifts through the shift
- Formed surfaces are difficult to produce without dedicated tooling
Who It Is For
- Machine repair and maintenance workshops
- Toolrooms producing one-off and small batch parts
- Jobbing shops machining castings and weldments
- Training workshops teaching metal cutting fundamentals
- Distributors supplying hydraulic shaping machines to general engineering
Application Scenarios
- Machining flat surfaces on single pieces and small batches
- Cutting formed surfaces with a ground single point tool
- Machining keyways slots and grooves in a repair shop
- Squaring up castings and weldments before further machining
- Work where a milling setup would cost more than the part
- Continuous shaping work where thermal stability matters

How It Compares With the Alternatives
| Mechanical shaping machines | A mechanical ram is driven through a linkage with fixed speeds and overtravel; the hydraulic drive here gives stepless speed small excess of stroke and smoother reversing |
|---|---|
| Milling a flat surface | Milling is faster in a batch but the setup and cutter cost are not justified on a single piece, which is exactly where the shaper earns its keep |
| Broaching a formed surface | A broach is fast but each form needs its own expensive tool; the shaper produces a formed surface from a ground single point tool |
| XAIMC surface grinding machines | A grinder finishes a face to close tolerance; the shaper removes the metal to get there and will cut formed surfaces a wheel cannot reach |
Running the Machine
Step 1
Clamp the work securely and set the stroke length so the excess beyond the cut stays small
Step 2
Grind the single point tool to the form you need before starting
Step 3
Use the fast table movement to position vertically and horizontally then set the cut
Step 4
Set stroke speed and feed per stroke using the stepless adjustment
Step 5
Check the automatic tool relief is lifting the tool clear on the return stroke
Step 6
Take a first pass and check the surface before running the rest of the cut
Step 7
Let the hydraulic overload device do its job rather than forcing a heavy cut

Questions About BY60100C Horizontal Hydraulic Shaper Machine
What kind of work is this machine for?
Cutting planes and formed surfaces, on single piece and small batch production. It is the machine that makes sense where a milling or broaching setup costs more than the part.
Why hydraulic rather than mechanical drive?
Both the main cutting movement and the feed are hydraulic with stepless speed adjustment. The transmission is smooth, the excess of stroke is small and starting and stopping are reliable and flexible, none of which a mechanical linkage gives you.
Does it hold accuracy in continuous use?
Oil temperature stays low and thermal deformation is small, which is why the accuracy is described as stable and why the machine adapts to strong cutting and continuous work.
What happens if the tool runs into something?
A hydraulic overload insurance device protects the machine and the tooling. It is one of the reasons a shaper suits repair work where the material is not always what you expect.
What surface finish and tolerance can we expect?
That depends on the material, the tool grind and the feed per stroke. Send us the drawing with what you need and we will confirm before you order.
Can it be built for our supply voltage?
Yes. Give us your voltage phase and frequency at enquiry and the machine is wired for your market.
What are your trade and payment terms?
FOB CFR and CIF. Payment is 30 percent by T/T on order and 70 percent before shipment, or an irrevocable L/C at sight.
