Cutting Metal with Precision Guillotine shears are used in many different industries, including the automotive, construction, and mechanical engineering industries. They are essential for preparing metal sheets for further processing steps such as bending, punching or welding. The advantages of these machines lie in their ability to produce precise, clean and burr-free cuts, which significantly improves the quality and efficiency of subsequent processes. Guillotine shears offer a long service life and high reliability thanks to their robust design and the possibility of automation. What is Cut with Guillotine Shears? Guillotine shears are mainly used to cut metal sheets. These machines are specialized in making precise and clean cuts in different types and/or thicknesses of sheet metal. Here are some examples of what can be cut with guillotine shears: 1. Steel sheets : Commonly used in the construction and engineering industries. 2. Aluminium sheets : Lightweight and corrosion-resistant, often used in aerospace and automotive industries. 3. Stainless steel sheets : Rustproof and durable, ideal for applications that require high corrosion resistance. 4. Copper and brass sheets : Used in the electronics and plumbing industries because of their good conductivity and antibacterial properties. 5. Other non-ferrous metal sheets : For special applications depending on the material properties. Guillotine shears are used to cut these sheets into the desired sizes and shapes, often in preparation for further processing steps such as bending, punching or welding. How Safe are Guillotine Shears? Guillotine shears are considered safe machines in metalworking when used and maintained properly. Here are some safety features that make guillotine shears even safer: -Emergency stop button: Allows the machine to be stopped quickly in dangerous situations. -Two-handed operation: Requires both hands to be used simultaneously to initiate the cutting process. This prevents accidental activation. -Foot switch: On some models, a foot switch allows you to free up your hands for other activities while cutting. -Light barriers: Interrupts the cutting process if an object is in the danger area. -Protective grilles: Protect against access to the cutting line, especially during manual loading. -Cutting line cover: A cover fitted across the entire width of the machine prevents access to the danger area (clamping devices, hold-down device and cutting edge) from the front of the machine. -Protection against ejection of parts: Devices that prevent small parts from being ejected during cutting. -Blade guide cover: Protects against injuries caused by the moving blades. Choose a guillotine shear if you need precise, clean cuts in thin to medium sheet metal and want a high cutting speed.
