Capital Metal Guillotines

CAPITAL HYDRAULIC GUILLOTINES – ACCURATE AND RELIABLE SHEET-METAL CUTTING

Capital hydraulic guillotines provide fast, accurate and repeatable straight-line cutting for sheet-metal and plate-fabrication applications.

Available in cutting capacities from 4 x 2,000mm through to 20 x 4,000mm, each machine can be configured to suit the customer’s material, maximum thickness, required cutting length and production volume.

The heavy-duty welded frame provides the rigidity needed for consistent cutting, while the hydraulic drive delivers smooth, controlled operation. Programmable backgauge systems allow operators to quickly enter the required cut length and repeat production cuts with minimal setup time.

Available machine configurations:

• Hydraulic swing-beam guillotines – a practical and cost-effective option for general sheet-metal cutting
• Hydraulic variable-rake guillotines – designed for heavier plate, reduced material distortion and improved cut quality

Key features:

• Heavy-duty, stress-relieved welded frame
• Smooth and reliable hydraulic cutting system
• Programmable powered backgauge
• Precision ballscrew and linear-guide backgauge system
• Adjustable blade clearance to suit different material thicknesses
• Adjustable cutting angle on selected models
• Adjustable cutting stroke for faster processing of shorter components
• Hydraulic sheet hold-downs for secure material clamping
• Front material-support arms
• Squaring arm with measurement scale
• High-quality, multi-edged cutting blades
• Clear and user-friendly operator controls
• Single-cut and continuous cutting modes
• Emergency-stop controls
• Front finger guarding and rear safety protection
• Multiple cutting capacities and configurations available

Controller options include:

• Estun E21S
• ELGO P40T
• Delem DAC-360T touchscreen
• Selected systems from Cybelec and ESA

Depending on the selected controller and machine configuration, operators can program the backgauge position, cutting quantity, blade clearance, cutting stroke and rake angle.

Optional equipment includes:

• CNC blade-clearance adjustment
• CNC rake-angle adjustment
• Pneumatic rear sheet-support system
• Front sheet-feeding and support systems
• Rear light curtains
• Sheet-stacking systems
• Conveyor and scrap-handling systems
• Oil cooling systems
• Custom blade materials for specialised applications

Capital hydraulic guillotines are suitable for general fabrication, ducting, switchboards, mining equipment, transport manufacturing, agricultural machinery and production sheet-metal work.
