The guillotine shear used with a blade length of 2000 mm and cutting thickness of 3 mm is a widely used machine in the sheet metal processing sector for cutting metal. Below, I provide you with a detailed technical sheet that explains the main features, use and the reasons why it is convenient to buy it used.
This guillotine shear, often available in hydraulic, mechanical or hydraulic models, is designed to cut sheet metal quickly and accurately. A common model could be the IMAL MOD CCO 30/6 , which has a sturdy structure and high quality components such as the digital programmer for the motorized backgauge control, the variable cutting angle and the manual adjustment of the gap between the blades. Guillotine shears usually also include sheet metal supports and evacuation systems to improve cutting quality and operational safety (
).
The process of using the guillotine shear involves positioning the sheet metal on the work surface, adjusting the backgauge to obtain the desired length, and operating the cut via a hydraulic or mechanical system. It is essential to correctly adjust the cutting angle and the spacing of the blades to obtain optimal results and minimize burrs on the edge of the sheet metal.
The most common accessories include the motorized backgauge, sheet metal supports, cutout evacuators, and numerical controls (CNC) for advanced cutting programming. These accessories improve the precision and efficiency of the cutting process.
The guillotine shear can cut different types of metals, including mild steel, stainless steel, aluminum and other medium thickness metal materials. The ability to process various materials mainly depends on the power of the engine and the resistance of the blades.
To ensure long life and optimal operation, regular maintenance is essential. This includes lubricating moving parts, checking blades for wear, and cleaning hydraulic systems to prevent dirt buildup that could affect machine performance.
When purchasing a used guillotine shear, it is important to check the condition of the blades, the functioning of the hydraulic and mechanical systems, and the presence of any signs of structural wear. The availability of documentation such as user manuals, CE certificates of conformity and maintenance records can be a sign of a well-maintained machine.
Guillotine shears are widely used in metalworking, automotive, construction and any industry requiring precise cutting of metal sheets.
Buying a used guillotine shear is often convenient due to the reduced costs compared to new ones, with machines that still offer excellent efficiency and operational capacity. Furthermore, used shears are often serviced and checked, guaranteeing reliability and good value for money
