Metal guillotine

 Metal guillotine A guillotine shear is a mechanical device designed for cutting and chopping metal with a metal knife blade that is beveled and cannot be tilted. A metal guillotine is primarily used for cutting sheet metal in prefabrication. Sheet metal is cut using guillotine shears. To ensure the smoothest cut, the guillotine table is equipped with a press with a mechanical or hydraulic drive.

Metal guillotine A remarkable tool for high-quality, precise cutting of sheet metal, including aluminum profiles. The guillotine features a heavy-duty frame with a feed table containing a knife and shears, a guide beam, and a depth stop. Since this type of guillotine cuts metal, the cutting parts are made of a high-quality alloy, such as titanium.

 Cutting metal with a guillotine

Applying cutting metal with a guillotine, Metal sheets are not heat-treated, which is especially important when working with soft metals. To cut the metal, vertical and horizontal shears are used, but a combination of both is also available. Cutting metal with a guillotine can be mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic and electromechanical.

• A mechanical guillotine is the simplest – it consists of a table with manual shears, powered by a lever-and-spring system. Therefore, it is used to cut aluminum sheets rather than high-strength metals.
• A hydraulic guillotine, with a hydraulic cylinder, compresses at pressures ranging from 4 to 120 atmospheres. It is primarily used in industrial settings, as it ensures high cutting precision and can cut metal of any thickness.
• The pneumatic guillotine is similar in its operating principle to the hydraulic one, namely, in that the cutting is carried out using a pneumatic mechanism and can cut thicker metals.
• The electromechanical guillotine is also used for cutting thick metals and is one of the most productive types of guillotines. Advantages cutting metal with a guillotine The advantages are significant. For example, when cutting, the resulting edge of the cut sheet is precise and accurate, with no nicks, burrs, creases, crescent-shaped deviations, or uneven bevels. Furthermore, this type of guillotine has a low cost, eliminates waste, and processes metal very quickly, enabling highly efficient serial and large-scale production.

MMechanical shears are used for transverse and longitudinal cutting of sheet and strip steel, as well as for cutting non-ferrous metals. Mechanical shears are reliable, easy to operate, and maintain, ensuring high precision. Electromechanical guillotines also boast high reliability and operational accuracy, and deliver high metal cutting precision. They can cut metal with cross-sections of 4.0 mm + 2500 mm. These guillotines are widely used in shipbuilding, mechanical engineering, tractor manufacturing, and aircraft manufacturing. Pneumatic guillotines for cutting metal  with an inclined knife НК3421 are designed for cutting metal up to 12 mm thick and 2000 mm wide.
