Sheet-metal forming
Guillotine shear
The guillotine shear cuts sheet in a guillotine stroke. Blade clearance follows thickness; the backgauge sets cut length. The drive is hydraulic or mechanical.

Operating principle
Upper and lower blades work in a rake cut. Blade clearance is set by sheet thickness so burr and cut quality stay in range. A backgauge positions the sheet. Sheet thickness, cut length and drive are sized for each project.
Where this machine is used
Sheet blanking in roof and façade shops, fabrication shops and machine building.

Frequently asked sizing questions
What data determines the right guillotine shear?
Key factors are material, tensile strength, maximum and minimum sheet thickness, cut length, required strokes, format, surface requirement and available power. Permitted thickness must not be stated without reference to material strength.
What determines burr and cut quality?
Blade clearance, blade condition, material, sheet thickness, hold-down and machine rigidity act together. Expected quality and inspection method are agreed as acceptance criteria using the actual sheet.
Which safety equipment is provided?
Guarding, emergency stop, access protection, operating concept and applicable conformity requirements are defined for the installation country and use. The specific scope is documented in the quotation and risk assessment.
