Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Prima Power Shear Genius 1540 that we can stand behind, so we show no number. Configuration, options and installation move the final price a long way: a quote is the reliable figure.
Overview
Long sheet, sheared parts: the Prima Power Shear Genius 1540 (SG1540) is the 4,300 mm x 1,565 mm (169.3 x 61.6 in) model of the Shear Genius punch-shear range. The Shear Genius 1530 covers 3,074 mm x 1,565 mm with the same performance data.
A buyer comparing it with the faster Shear Brilliance 1540 should start from the thickness table, because the Shear Genius is the one for which Prima Power prints limits. Punching reaches 8 mm (0.31 in). The shear takes aluminium to 5 mm (0.20 in), mild steel to 4 mm (0.16 in) and stainless steel to 3 mm (0.12 in). The Shear Brilliance 1540 is listed at up to 210 m/min positioning; this machine positions at 127 m/min as SG Pure or 150 m/min as SG Dynamic.
Ram force is 250 kN (25 US Tons) on SG Pure and 300 kN (33 US Tons) on SG Dynamic, and index tools rotate at 180 rpm or 250 rpm. Maximum hit speed is given as 700 1/min or 1000 1/min. The customized turret takes a maximum of 400 tools, 384 of them index tools.
The drive concept is servo-electric throughout, which Prima Power connects with reduced energy consumption and no oil waste. On a 4,300 mm sheet the material support during shearing matters, and brush tables give steady support to the processed material. The intelligent ram is credited with more tools in the turret and shorter tool change times. Automation for material and part flow can be connected.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Maximum sheet size is 4,300 mm x 1,565 mm (169.3 x 61.6 in). There are two models in the range, SG1530 and SG1540; the Shear Genius 1530 takes 3,074 mm x 1,565 mm.
02
The Shear Brilliance 1540 is the faster machine, with positioning up to 210 m/min and a ram force of 300 kN. The Shear Genius 1540 positions at 127 m/min or 150 m/min and is the one with published thickness limits, 8 mm (0.31 in) punching and 4 mm (0.16 in) shearing in mild steel.
03
SG Pure is listed at 250 kN (25 US Tons) and SG Dynamic at 300 kN (33 US Tons). The Pure pair of figures does not convert cleanly, so ask Prima Power which one is correct before relying on it.
04
Parts are sheared loose instead of being nibbled out, so there are no skeletons and less punching scrap. Prima Power also lists efficient nesting and a trim strip destroyer that keeps continuous production running.
