The main technical characteristics of the guillotine shear
This shear is equipped with Blade Pads with a 200 mm pitch. These are a series of adjustable pads that keep the blade in position at all times. In fact, with the Blade Pads we hold the ram along its entire length, to avoid that the blade clearance may vary in an uncontrolled way. The Blade Pads system is also used to adjust blade gap.
Automating the sheet metal shear
The machine was equipped with the CNC entirely developed by Gasparini, on an industrial PC, which gives the possibility of integration on an automatic line and expansion of the controlled axes. It features a 12″ touch display with EtherCAT master and supports remote assistance.
The CNC has a material database and allows control:
- Backgauge
- Cutting angle
- Interspace blades
The choice of bench and supports
This shear is equipped with a bench with removable supports and steel drive balls.
The bench is a monolithic and milled block. It is an integral part of the guillotine shear and like the rest of the structure it has been designed and optimized with FEA methods (Finite Element Analysis). The bench is equipped with movable elements with scroll balls, freely repositionable over the entire length of the bench to fit the needs of the operator.
To protect the most delicate surfaces, the bench can be equipped with nylon ball transfers. These ball transfers can be mounted on a disappearing system.
Standard front supports are fixed to the bench with screw clamping and can be repositioned according to the needs. They are equipped with a few standard accessories:
- Disappearing gauge
- Ball transfers
- Measure ruler
- Squaring arm with side stop
Shear customisation required by metalworkers
In addition, this guillotine shear features:
- LED illuminated work area
- Side square
- Illuminated work area with cutting line indication
- Remote control button in addition to foot pedal
