Guillotine shears

X-Cut shears are the ideal choice for maximum precision and cost efficiency in high volumes.

Precision and practicality

Our X-Cut guillotine shears ensure maximum precision in high volumes with cost efficiency. Our proportional hydraulic system, designed by Gasparini Industries and optimised for each product size,

is equipped with high quality and reliable components. Our wide range of models and power ensures maximum versatility in terms of sheet size and thickness, in every cutting situation.

Freedom of choice We offer a wide range of accessories, including pneumatic sheet metal support, setting of the cut start position, stripe feeder, scrap/small parts metal box, pneumatic front guard and standby function, anti scratch device.
Controlled force Our hydraulic plate presses operate independently of the cutting cycle, with regulated pressure to protect the most delicate plates, ensuring safe and precise processing.
Ergonomics and comfort The LED lighting of the work area is 300% more efficient than conventional systems, with 6000°K light that highlights metal edges, reduces fatigue and glare, and is insensitive to vibration.

ACCESSORIES - ACCURACY

Anti-twisting system

A series of hydraulic cylinders located below the lower blade exert a counter-pressure in proportion to the cutting thickness, thus compensating for the torsion effect of the sheet metal. This counteracting action cancels out the torsion effects that depend on the geometry and characteristics of the material and the cutting parameters.

Blade Pads

X-Cut shears are distinguished by a series of adjustable pads that keep the blade in position at all times. With the Blade Pads we support the blade crossbar along its entire length, keeping the distance between the blades at a controlled height. The system is also used to adjust the blade gap.

ACCESSORIES - ACCURACY

Shear backgauge

The backgauge can be retractable or sensorised: the former lifts up to allow the sheet metal to pass through and to be able to cut even longer pieces than the maximum stroke; the latter is an optional extra that enables so-called ‘contact cutting’, whereby sensors detect the presence of the sheet metal in position and start the cutting cycle.

Delem and Gasparini CNCs

The CNC can be of two types: Delem or Gasparini. Both CNCs manage the adjustment of the blade gap and the length of the cut, reducing the blade stroke and consequently the duration of the cutting cycle.

Bench and front supports

The bench is monolithic and milled, it is an integral part of the structure and like the latter has been dimensioned and optimised using FEA (Finite Element Analysis) methods. The front supports are clamps fixed to the bench of the guillotine shear, which can be moved as required.
