New Haco Variable Rake Guillotine:
A FULL AUTOMATED SHEAR
The HACO shears are guillotine type shears. This means that the cutting action is a scissors cutting action.
Guillotine shears have several advantages above swing-beam type shears. They are made to cut several material types and thicknesses as they have a variable cutting angle, and not a fixed cutting angle like swing-beam type machines.
On the HSLX models, the beam rake angle and the blade gap setting are controlled by the new SC90 operator control. With the new SC90 control, the rake angle and blade gap settings are set automatically by entering the material type and thickness of the sheet to be cut.
The servo-driven backgauge on ball-screw in combination with the SC90 control, allows the operator to program different target positions for several cuts over one sheet and cut the sheets without any need to touch the operator control.
The sheet hold-downs on the HSLX guillotine models are hydraulic controlled. The hold-downs use a separate hydraulic circuit with separate pump. A pressure activated switch is used for the right pressure setting. The hold-downs on both sides of the shear are installed closer together to cut small plates.
The HSLX guillotines come standard with a shadow light function, to be able cutting of plate, without the use of a backgauge.
All Haco guillotines are equipped with European Safety Specifications. To allow much easier and safer access to the rear of the guillotine and to prevent injury while cutting HACO applies an optical guard system.
