NC Hydraulic Guillotine Shearing
Straight-line shearing for steel plate, stainless steel, and aluminum sheet. High-volume blanking and plate preparation with clean, square edges ready for downstream processing.
Capabilities
Machine Specifications
| Max cutting length | 3,000 mm |
| Max thickness (mild steel) | 12 mm |
| Max thickness (stainless) | 8 mm |
| Max thickness (aluminum) | 10 mm |
| Squareness tolerance | ±0.1 mm/m |
Advantages over Plasma/Laser for Straight Cuts
- No heat-affected zone: material properties unchanged
- Clean, square edges with no dross or oxide
- Faster cycle time for straight-line blanks
- Lower cost per cut on plate and sheet stock
- No kerf loss: zero material removed from the cut
Applications
Construction Plates
Base plates, gussets, stiffeners, and structural plate components cut to size from standard sheet stock.
Blanking for Downstream Processing
Sheet blanks sized for CNC punching, laser cutting, or press brake bending: reducing setup time and material waste.
Panel & Enclosure Stock
Door panels, side panels, and back plates sheared to net size before forming and finishing.
When to Choose Shearing vs. Laser
Choose shearing when:
- All cuts are straight lines
- Volume is high and cost per cut matters
- No heat-affected zone is acceptable
Choose laser when:
- Parts have curves, holes, or complex contours
- Tighter tolerances are needed (±0.05 mm)
- Parts are nested to minimize waste
