SC 6X3200mm hydraulic guillotine shearing machine is a high-precision sheet metal cutting device widely used in sheet metal processing, steel structure manufacturing, power equipment, construction machinery, automotive parts, and machinery manufacturing industries.

Where it is specified:
- 6mm: Maximum shearing thickness of ordinary carbon steel is 6mm
- 3200mm: Maximum shearing length is 3200mm
- Hydraulic drive: Utilizes a hydraulic system to provide shearing power
- Guillotine structure: The blade holder moves vertically in a linear motion, resulting in higher precision and less deformation compared to a swing beam shearing machine.
This model is one of the most widely used medium-sized shearing machines on the market, balancing processing capacity, precision, and economy.

① Plate is fed into the worktable
↓
② Pressure cylinder presses the plate
↓
③ Hydraulic cylinder drives the upper knife holder to move vertically downwards
↓
④ Upper and lower blades generate shearing force
↓
⑤ Plate breaks and separates
↓
⑥ Knife holder returns, completing one shearing cycle
The guillotine structure ensures the blade holder moves linearly along the guide rail, thus achieving higher shearing accuracy and better cross-sectional quality.

processing.
The cutting edge is made of: 6CrW2Si, Cr12MoV high-strength alloy materials.
Features: Four cutting edges; can be flipped multiple times for reuse; high wear resistance.
Compared to ordinary cutting edges: Lifespan increased by 30%~50%.
The shearing angle is generally 0.5°~1.5° and can be adjusted according to the plate thickness.
For thin plates, a small angle is used:
Advantages: High speed; Energy saving; High precision.
For thick plates, a large angle is used:
Advantages: Reduced instantaneous shearing force; Reduced motor load; Extended cutting edge life.
The cutting edge gap directly determines:
- Burr size
- Cross-sectional quality
- Cutting edge life
Typical gap: Approximately 7%~10% of the plate thickness.
For example:
Plate thickness | Recommend gap |
1mm | 0.07~0.10mm |
3mm | 0.21~0.30mm |
6mm | 0.42~0.60mm |
Easy and quick adjustment:
Handwheel adjustment, Digital display, Automatic adjustment (high-end models)

After shearing: Perpendicular cut, Fewer burrs, Less warping
Especially suitable for: Laser cutting, Precision sheet metal parts, Electrical cabinet manufacturing
Shearing speed: 14~35 times/minute.
Based on 2mm carbon steel: Processes over 300~500 sheets per hour.
Mature and stable hydraulic system.
