Shearing

Cutting metal can be compared to cutting paper using scissors where 2 blades move toward each other. A guillotine shear brings two blades toward each other. The upper blade moves down and exerts pressure on the metal placed between the two blades. The sharp cutting edge of the upper blade comes into contact with the material, and the powerful downward motion provides a precise cut through the full width of the metal plate. HACO's guillotine cutters are indispensable machines at many sheet metal processing plants thanks to their cost-efficient operation and quality cut.
