Guillotine shear

Sheet-metal forming

Guillotine shear

The guillotine shear cuts sheet in a guillotine stroke. Blade clearance follows thickness; the backgauge sets cut length. The drive is hydraulic or mechanical.

Operating principle

Upper and lower blades work in a rake cut. Blade clearance is set by sheet thickness so burr and cut quality stay in range. A backgauge positions the sheet. Hydraulic or mechanical drives cover different stroke rates. Verified sheet thickness is 0.4–2.5 mm.

Where this machine is used

Sheet blanking in roof and façade shops, fabrication shops and machine building.
