Shearing Machine

Shearing Machine Guillotine Type

A guillotine shearing machine is selected for stronger cutting control, thicker material, better edge quality, and more demanding sheet or plate cutting than a basic shear application.

Main Features:

  1. The frame and blade carrier are steel structural parts. The upper blade carrier is tempered to eliminate internal stress, with strong rigidity and good structural stability.
  2. Under the action of the oil cylinder, the blade carrier moves up and down along the guide rail to realize the shearing action.
  3. The back gauge adopts ball-screw transmission, and the adjustment of the back-gauge distance is driven by a motor. Positioning is accurate, and operation is fast and smooth.
  4. The hold-down mechanism consists of a group of hold-down cylinders. Under the action of pressure oil, the hold-down cylinders overcome the spring tension to press the sheet material.
  5. After shearing is completed, it returns by means of the spring tension.
  6. To facilitate shearing of wider sheets, a front support frame is provided on the front of the machine. One of them is equipped with a scale and side positioning stop.
  7. The hydraulic system has overload overflow safety protection, and the oil level is displayed clearly and intuitively. The machine can work continuously for 16 hours under rated load. The hydraulic system ensures no leakage, continuous and stable processing, and high accuracy.

Detailed Description

Configuration Details

Guillotine type shearing machine structure

Structure

The guillotine type shearing machine uses a fully welded steel frame integrated with the workbench, giving the machine strong rigidity against the torque load generated during cutting. A stable structure helps reduce vibration and supports accurate sheet positioning.

The blade beam moves in a near-vertical linear path relative to the lower blade, which helps reduce sheet distortion during cutting. This structure is suitable for workshops that require straight cutting edges, stable shearing accuracy, and reliable long-term operation.

Guillotine type shearing machine control system

Control System

The control system manages backgauge positioning, blade gap adjustment, shearing angle setting, and cutting stroke control. A practical controller helps operators set cutting parameters quickly according to material thickness and sheet width.

Depending on the final configuration, the machine can be equipped with a CNC shearing controller or a digital display controller. Touch screen control, automatic parameter adjustment, and clear operation interface can improve cutting efficiency and reduce setup time.

Guillotine type shearing machine motor

Motor

The main motor provides stable driving power for hydraulic cutting operation. It should be selected according to plate thickness, cutting width, production frequency, and local electrical requirements.

Voltage customization can be arranged for different markets, such as 3-phase 220V, 380V, 415V, or other regional standards. A properly matched motor supports reliable daily operation and reduces installation adaptation work.

Guillotine type shearing machine hydraulic valve

Hydraulic Valve

The hydraulic valve block controls oil flow, pressure, and blade beam movement during the shearing cycle. Stable valve performance helps the blade beam move smoothly and supports consistent cutting action.

Oil pressure overload protection, reliable sealing, and real-time pressure monitoring help reduce leakage, valve jamming, and abnormal pressure fluctuation. This improves machine safety and long-term hydraulic stability.

Guillotine type shearing machine feeding port

Feeding Port

The feeding port is designed for safe and convenient sheet feeding. Its opening height can be adjusted according to sheet thickness, helping operators feed plates smoothly while keeping the cutting area protected.

Front fences, side guards, and adjustable feeding components help improve operator safety and sheet alignment. A practical feeding structure is especially important when processing large plates or repeated cutting batches.

Guillotine type shearing machine cutting line illumination

Cutting Line Illumination

Cutting line illumination helps operators align marked sheets before shearing. It improves visual reference during manual positioning and supports more accurate cutting for marked workpieces.

The blade holder stroke can be adjusted according to cutting length and production requirements. Proper stroke adjustment reduces unnecessary movement and improves cutting efficiency for shorter sheets.

Guillotine type shearing machine back gauge

Backgauge

The backgauge positions the sheet before cutting and directly affects repeat cutting accuracy. A stable backgauge system helps maintain consistent cutting width across repeated parts.

Optional rear support can hold thin sheets during cutting, helping prevent sagging and improving cut quality. Rear light curtain protection can also be selected to improve personnel safety during operation.

Guillotine type shearing machine motorized cutting angle adjustment

Motorized Cutting Angle Adjustment

Motorized cutting angle adjustment allows the shearing angle to be set according to material thickness and cutting requirements. This reduces manual adjustment work and improves setup efficiency.

A suitable cutting angle helps reduce sheet distortion, improve edge quality, and lower cutting resistance. This function is useful when the workshop frequently changes material thickness.

Guillotine type shearing machine electrical components

Electrical Components

Reliable electrical components support stable control signal transmission, safe machine operation, and long service life. A clear cabinet layout also makes daily inspection and maintenance easier.

Electrical configuration should be matched with the controller, motor, hydraulic system, safety devices, and local voltage standards. Stable electrical performance helps reduce downtime and improve production reliability.

Guillotine type shearing machine servo motor

Servo Motor

The servo motor can be used for precise backgauge positioning and fast response during automatic cutting preparation. It improves positioning speed and repeat accuracy compared with basic drive systems.

For production that requires frequent size changes, servo-driven positioning helps reduce setup time and improves cutting efficiency across different sheet sizes.
