AirShirz® Pneumatic Scissors

Increase productivity through reduced hand stress.

Do your workers suffer from hand stress when cutting difficult materials?  The answer to sore hands in cutting materials such as rubber or Kevlar® is AirShirz®.

Lightweight yet powerful, AirShirz scissors are designed to promote the highest level of safety along with reduced risks associated with cumulative trauma disorders, helping to increase production and lower employee turnover.  And, because they use standard shop air, they're easy to integrate into your existing production process.

Cutting the Effort in Cutting Tough Materials

90% Reduction in Cutting Effort!

Instead of using physical exertion, AirShirz employs air (pneumatic) power to cleanly cut through difficult materials.

Light Pressure – To operate AirShirz, all that is needed is light pressure from just two fingers (A in image).  The thumb is not even used.  Plus, the AirShirz blades open automatically when pressure on the lever is released, so only a fraction of the effort is required.

Total Blade Control – Blade speed and position are fully controllable, like  scissors, for precision cutting (B in image).  AirShirz can cut the full length of the blades, without increased force, to reduce cutting repetitions. 

Safety Latch – secures the blades when not in use and for easy storage (C in image).

  • Automatic spring-return action – requires no effort to open blades.  Just release pressure on the trigger.
  • Fewer repetitions – cuts the full length of the blades without increasing force.
  • Reduced Muscle Fatigue - the pneumatic power does the work, dramatically reducing stress - as well as the exposure to risk factors associated with cumulative trauma disorders (CTDs) of the hand and forearm.
  • Lightweight and balanced – ergonomic design fits comfortably in the worker's hand.
  • No special air requirements - uses standard 80-120 psi (5-8 bar) plant air, drawing less than .5 cfm (14.1 l/m).
  • Exclusive stainless steel blades - provide long edge life and superior corrosion resistance.
  • Interchangeable blades – all blade configurations are interchangeable and can be changed out in seconds.
  • Remote air exhaust – Dual air hose vents air at the hose connection prevents exhaust air from blowing particles.
  • Easy cleaning – no special cleaning restrictions (submersing, high pressure, hot water and soap are all acceptable).

AirShirz® Testimonials - An Ergonomic Solution to Hand Stress

“We would use three sometimes four workers at our cutting table using standard hand held Wiss scissors. Now with one pair of AirShiz, we can do the same job with one worker.”
Southwest Fiberglass; Robert Yoho, VP / General Manager
Fiberglass parts manufacturer • Tucson, AZ

 

“With the AirShiz virtually anyone can do the job instantly. For us the AirShiz is an equalizer, it opens up work stations that previously could only be manned by a select few.”
Cat Dancer Products; Jim Boelke, President
Pet toy manufacturer • Neenah, WI

 

“ We cut materials every day using hand-held, scissors-type shears and side cutters. With today’s concerns for ergonomical solutions to repetitious jobs, the AirShiz has improved our processes as well as the product quality, and has made a repetitious and fatiguing chore a much nicer job.”
Sweepster, Inc.; Kevin Elliott, Process Engineer
