The fully automated guillotine shears are just like our other type shears. This means that the cutting action is a scissors cutting action. The hydraulic cylinders on the shears are positioned directly above the ram and push the ram in a downwards direction.
The fully automated guillotine shears have several advantages above swing beam type shears. The fully automated guillotine shears are made to cut several material types and thicknesses and have no twist in the frame like swing beam types.
New operator control
On the fully automated guillotine shear models, the beam rake angle and the blade gap setting are controlled by the new operator control. We adjust the rake angle on the fully automated guillotine shears by pumping more oil into, or releasing oil out of the right cylinder.
To set the blade gap, we have 2 hydraulic cylinders which push the ram of the blade gap forward or backwards. The ram is guided between 4 spring loaded bearings.
Automatically set blade gap settings
With the new operator control, the rake angle and blade gap settings are set automatically by entering the material type and thickness of the sheet to be cut.
The servo-driven backgauge on ball-screw in combination with the new operator control, allows the operator to program different target positions for several cuts over one sheet and cut the sheets without any need to touch the new operator control.
Hydraulic controlled hold-downs
The sheet hold-downs on the fully automated guillotine shear models are hydraulic controlled. The hold-downs use a separate hydraulic circuit with separate pump. A pressure activated switch is used for the right pressure setting. The hold-downs on both sides of the shear are installed closer together to cut small plates.
The fully automated guillotine shears come standard with a shadow light function, to be able cutting of plate, without the use of a backgauge.
