Matrix 55S

Description

The Matrix 55S from FMS is a next-generation hydraulic rebar shearline engineered to maximize productivity and reduce labor requirements. Designed to handle heavy-duty rebar up to Ø55mm (#14), it features an expanded dual-side operator platform, three-story infeed racks, and automatic unloading bins for efficient material flow and reduced manual handling.

The system’s intelligent digital control panel allows one operator to manage all machine functions, including servo-controlled cut length programming, movement of the cutting head, and remote access for support. With ±3 mm cutting precision, 360° positioning, and optional barcode scanning for job automation, the Matrix 55S delivers industrial-grade performance with minimal oversight.

Its robust modular design, powered by hydraulic and pneumatic systems, is ideal for high-throughput solar pile fabrication and commercial construction operations.
