Product Specifications

Technical details and manufacturing context for Sheet Metal Guillotine Shear

Definition
A standalone industrial machine used in metal fabrication shops for cutting sheet metal along straight lines. It operates by applying shearing force between an upper blade and lower blade to cleanly separate metal sheets. Commonly used for cutting mild steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and other metal sheets in various thicknesses. Essential equipment in metalworking, HVAC, automotive, and construction industries.
Working Principle
Hydraulic or mechanical force drives an upper blade downward against a stationary lower blade, creating a shearing action that cleanly cuts through sheet metal placed between them.
Common Materials
structural steel, tool steel blades, hydraulic components, electrical controls
Technical Parameters
  • Main drive motor power rating (kW) Standard Spec
  • Maximum sheet width capacity (mm) Standard Spec
  • Maximum material thickness capacity (mm) Standard Spec

Application Fit & Sizing Matrix

Operational Limits
pressure: Hydraulic system: 10-25 MPa (150-3600 psi)
other spec: Max sheet thickness: 0.5-25 mm, Max cutting length: 1-6 m, Blade clearance: 5-15% of material thickness
temperature: Ambient to 40°C (operating environment)
Media Compatibility
✓ Mild steel sheets ✓ Stainless steel plates ✓ Aluminum sheets
Unsuitable: Abrasive composite materials (e.g., fiberglass-reinforced sheets)
Sizing Data Required
  • Maximum sheet thickness (mm)
  • Maximum cutting length (mm)
  • Material tensile strength (MPa)

Reliability & Engineering Risk Analysis

Failure Mode & Root Cause
Blade edge degradation
Cause: Progressive wear from cutting abrasive sheet materials, improper blade clearance settings causing excessive friction, and lack of regular sharpening or replacement
Hydraulic system failure
Cause: Contamination of hydraulic fluid leading to pump and valve malfunctions, seal degradation causing leaks, and pressure irregularities from worn components or improper maintenance
Maintenance Indicators
  • Uneven or ragged cuts with excessive burrs, indicating blade wear or misalignment
  • Unusual knocking or grinding noises during operation, suggesting mechanical issues in the drive system or blade mechanism
Engineering Tips
  • Implement a strict blade maintenance schedule with regular inspection, proper clearance adjustment, and timely sharpening/replacement based on material cut volume and type
  • Establish a comprehensive hydraulic system maintenance program including regular fluid analysis, filter changes, and seal inspections to prevent contamination and pressure loss

Compliance & Manufacturing Standards

Reference Standards
ISO 12100:2010 - Safety of machinery - General principles for design - Risk assessment and risk reduction ANSI B11.3-2012 - Safety Requirements for Power Press Brakes and Press Brakes CE Marking - Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC
Manufacturing Precision
  • Cutting Edge Alignment: +/-0.05mm per meter of blade length
  • Sheet Flatness After Cutting: 0.2mm maximum deviation over 1000mm length
Quality Inspection
  • Blade Hardness and Edge Condition Testing (Rockwell C scale)
  • Guarding and Safety System Functional Testing (including light curtains and emergency stops)

Frequently Asked Questions

What materials can this guillotine shear cut effectively?

This industrial guillotine shear is designed to cut various sheet metals including structural steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and other ferrous/non-ferrous metals up to the specified thickness capacity.

How does the hydraulic system improve cutting performance?

The hydraulic system provides consistent cutting force throughout the stroke, reduces vibration for cleaner cuts, allows adjustable cutting speed, and requires less maintenance than mechanical systems.

What safety features are included with this sheet metal shear?

Standard safety features include two-hand operation controls, blade guards, emergency stop buttons, light curtains or safety barriers, and overload protection in the hydraulic system.

Can I contact factories directly on CNFX?
