How to Choose Hydraulic Guillotine Machine Blades

The hydraulic guillotine machine has two models in China. You can know their working differences from their blade shapes and blade cutting methods. Below 4 points will help you hydraulic guillotine machine well. 

1. The Models of Hydraulic Guillotine Machines

China has two hydraulic shearing machine models. QC12K hydraulic swing beam shearing machine and QC11K hydraulic guillotine machine.

The movement of the swing shearing machine blades is arc-shaped, and it uses the point contact of the arc to ensure the straightness of the sheared material.

The guillotine shearing machine uses the straight line of its own blade frame to ensure the straightness of the sheared material, and the cutting effect is more precise.

The blade shapes of the two shearing machines are different. From the appearance of the machines’ cylinders, you can see what models of your shearing machine are.

2. Material of Hydraulic Guillotine Blades

In China, 6CrW2Si and H13 are often used in hydraulic shearing machine blades.

3. Price of Hydraulic Guillotine Machines’ Blades

Many shearing machine factories use 6CrW2Si blades on their shearing machine, and the price is middle. H13 has a little higher price than 6CrW2Si.

The heat resistance and fatigue resistance of the shearing machine knives made of H13 are excellent, avoiding the cracking of the knives due to heat treatment. It has both high-temperature strength and high toughness requirements. It can be said to be the best steel type at present and the most suitable for the guillotine machines' blades. 

4. Sizes of Shearing Machines

Below are some common blade sizes. We can make the blades according to your drawings, too.
