LACKNER TOOLS
including BLOCK SHEAR
tool / tools were created* by Raymond Lackner,
an industrial executive and
consultant, who also invented various refuse compactors
for the
solid waste industry, patented and sold internationally. Most of Raymond
Lackner’s inventions are manufactured and sold by assignees
companies. Raymond Lackner has chosen to own
and operate the company that manufactures
hydraulic
equipment / machine and tool / tools based on his
most recent inventions. You are now visiting
the website of this
company. The tools and equipment we make presently include
the Lackner line of
refuse
compactors and the Lackner line of cast stone (masonry) and
natural stone BLOCK SHEAR tools.
You can reach Ray Lackner personally at
BLOCK SHEAR LLC.
BLOCK SHEAR tools look similar to certain other tools of masonry
trade, but comprise inventive features. Patent is
pending.
Operation & Benefits of BLOCK SHEAR tools
BLOCK SHEAR
tools come in two versions, natural stone splitter / splitters and masonry
splitter / splitters.
Our stone splitter / splitters will also split masonry and paver / pavers. Furthermore,
our stone splitter and masonry
splitter come in two configurations:
either equipped for manual operation or
equipped
for both manual and
air assisted (pneumatic) operation. All our stone and masonry
splitter are portable; they also have hand-cart wheels.
Manual Tools
Manual
BLOCK SHEAR tool / tools are self-contained and
designed to
provide the highest productivity for splitting natural
stone / stones and masonry products in the industry.
At the
core of this advantage
lies a BLOCK SHEAR designed pumping
mechanism. When the
operator places the new stone /stones or
block /
blocks on the worktable,
the first time he presses the
(single) foot-leaver, the worktable
and the lower cut / cutting
blade
move up by about
2.00” – in one move they fit the upper
blade snuggly on the
material being cut. The subsequent
pumping of the same lever
drives the hydraulic actuator that
quickly split /splits the material,
moving in 1/8” increments.
BLOCK SHEAR
tools are engineered
to
reduce the pumping of the
foot lever because the first
2.00''
adjustment is not available
without the
unique mechanism. Our BLOCK SHEAR
manual tool /
tools are recommended for jobs that involve
the split / splitting
of a
small quantity
of stone / stones,
masonry block or pavers at
a
time.
Bigger jobs, we recommend
our
air-assisted tool / tools.
Air-Assisted Tools
BLOCK SHEAR air-assisted machine /machines adjust the position of the worktable
and cut / cutting blades even faster – the operator simply
squeezes the air trigger - the adjustment and the cut follow.
Our air-assisted hydraulic machine / machines require only a small outside
compressor; a portable machine / machines is perfectly adequate. Furthermore, compressors
are usually available on job sites. As a back-up feature, air-assisted BLOCK SHEAR
tools include the single foot-lever of our manual tool /tools, to
enable the machine / machines to operate also without a compressor. Our
air-assisted hydraulic Tool / tools are recommended for jobs that
involve the split / splitting of a larger volume of stone / stones or masonry
block / blocks or
paver /
pavers at a time.
Both the manual
and air-assisted BLOCK SHEAR Masonry Tool /Tools produce 24,000
pounds of hydraulic force
to provide precise split-face cut /cuts straight cut / cuts and angle cut /
cuts on masonry block / blocks, brick pavers and cast-stone.
Throat opening
up to 8-1/4”
thick
by 18” wide.
Both the manual
and air-assisted BLOCK SHEAR Stone Tool / Tools produce
40,000
pounds
of hydraulic force
to provide precise split-face cut / cuts straight cut
/ cuts and angle cut /
cuts on natural stone / stones as well as masonry block/ blocks, brick
paver / pavers
and cast-stone. Throat opening
up to
8-1/4”
thick by 18” wide.
The air-assist Stone Slab Splitter has a throat opening of 8.25-H X 24.50-W inches.
