It is the most common machinery for guillotine metal works with a Shadow line & well designed finger guard for a clear view of the cutting line.
How does the guillotine shear work?
The sheet metal guillotine shearing machine includes a shear table, holding device, shear blades, & motorized back gauge. the hold-down cylinder is driven by the hydraulic system to press the steel plate. the left and right oil cylinders to drive the moving blade up and down movement. The Adjustable rake cutting angle is for different cutting thickness & rapid blade gap is manually adjusted. and the Safety foot switch operation Top blades will automatically return to the top position when the foot is removed from the foot pedal.
What is the material and capacity of Guillotine shear?

FAQ- Frequently asked questions
A sheet metal guillotine Shear Machine is an industrial shear to cut metal sheets into strips with different shearing lengths. Guillotine shears are commonly used in metal fabrication, manufacturing, and efficient sheet metal plate cutting. They can cut a wide range of materials, including mild steel, aluminum, brass, copper, and plastic sheets.
The sheet metal guillotine cutter includes hydraulic, mechanical, and pneumatic shears. Hydraulic shears use hydraulic cylinders to apply force to the blade, while mechanical shears use a mechanical lever system to apply force. It is driven by the hydraulic motor for the press. It cut the sheet metal with a fixed lower blade and moving upper blades that travel in the guide route. Pneumatic shears use compressed air to power the cutting process.
Swing beam shears and guillotine shears are used for sheet metal cuts in the metal fabrication industry. Shearing is performed by cutting through a piece of sheet metal with a blade that's most often affixed to a tool or machine.
Swing beam Shearing Machine:
- Movements: Swing Beam Shear moves with the upper blade in a circular arc.
- Blade Type: 2 side cutting edges for top blades, and 4 side edges for lower blades.
- Cutting Capacity: Cutting medium to thick metal sheets, generally ranging from 4mm to 20mm or more.
- Accuracy: Provide a higher level of cutting accuracy and precision.

Guillotine Shearing Machine:
- Movement: Guillotine shears make straight cuts, the upper blade moves up and down uprightly and the bottom blade is fixed on the worktable.
- Blade Type: 4 side cutting edges for top blades, and 4 side edges for lower blades.
- Cutting Capacity: Cutting thin to thick metal sheets, with a wider range of thicknesses compared to swing beam shears.
- Accuracy: Guillotine shears can produce accurate cuts

Most of the hydraulic sheet metal shear can cut 4-25mm thickness
Tensile strength can be defined as the maximum stress that a material can bear before breaking when it is allowed to be stretched or pulled.
