In metal fabrication, several machines are heavily relied upon to produce consistent and accurate cuts. In fact, a guillotine machine is frequently used in the motor industry to cut chassis parts and other structural vehicle body parts. At LSG Machine Tools, we understand the advantages that this versatile piece of equipment brings to metal fabrication and would like to share some insights into how your choice of guillotine machine can optimise sheet metal cutting.
Precision Cuts and Consistent Angles with a Guillotine Machine
Utilising a shearing action, a guillotine machine severs metal sheets into specific shapes, sizes and dimensions. Their high degree of accuracy makes them the ideal tool for a variety of metalworking applications. Due to these machines’ versatility, they can be used to prepare metal for shaping processes or to create finished parts directly from a piece of sheet metal. Additionally, they play a crucial role in ensuring dimensional accuracy and consistent angles in metal components.
Main Advantages of Guillotine Cutting in Metal Fabrication
- Accuracy
Guillotine machines show remarkable consistency. Provided the machinery receives proper maintenance, it can churn out a high volume of accurately cut metal pieces. In the hands of skilled professionals, this precision is further amplified, guaranteeing components meet demanding specifications.
- Less downtime
Workpieces are completed efficiently, minimising delays, and keeping projects on schedule. The speed and precision of guillotine cutting can even contribute to enhanced profit margins by reducing production costs.
- Perfect finishes
A guillotine machine offers a distinctive cutting advantage – a flawless finish. Thanks to the power of guillotines, manufacturers can achieve a level of smoothness and clean lines unmatched by other methods. This also translates to less post-processing work, saving valuable production time.
The type of guillotine machine selected is entirely dependent on the fabrication process being undertaken. At LSG Machine Tools, we offer mechanical, hydraulic and treadle guillotine machines, ideal for cutting a variety of thicknesses.
