Guillotine cutting

Sheet metal cutting with a guillotine is one of the most popular methods of cutting metal. Thanks to the use of specialized machines, this process allows for quick and precise division of sheet metal into smaller elements of specific dimensions. Guillotines, both manual and hydraulic, are widely used in industries such as metal, construction and automotive.

A guillotine is a machine equipped with two blades – one fixed and one movable. The sheet metal is placed on the work table, and then the movable blade makes a quick, straight-line movement downwards, cutting the material along the cutting line. Modern guillotines are often equipped with advanced control systems that allow precise setting of dimensions and cutting angle.

• Precision – Guillotines enable precise and repeatable cuts, which is crucial in the production of elements requiring high accuracy.
• Efficiency – The cutting process is fast, which allows for the processing of a large number of elements in a short time.
• Versatility – Guillotines are suitable for various types of sheet metal, such as stainless steel, aluminum or copper, of different thicknesses and hardnesses.
• Minimized waste – Thanks to precise cutting, the amount of material wasted during processing is much smaller.

Sheet metal guillotines are used in various industries, including:

• steel construction production,
• machine housing production,
• automotive parts production,
• decorative and facade panels production.
