12mm Metal Plate Shearing Machine For Sale

SC 12mm Metal Plate Shearing Machine is a hydraulically driven, guillotine type metal shear designed specifically for shearing thick plate. The 12mm hydraulic guillotine metal shear utilizes a hydraulic drive and guillotine type mechanism to shear metal plates up to 12mm thick. It cuts through the linear reciprocating motion of upper and lower blades, making it suitable for precise shearing of medium and thick plates. It is widely used in sheet metal processing, shipbuilding, bridge construction, and machinery manufacturing.

1. Main Components of the 12mm Metal Plate Shearing Machine

- Frame

Adopts a one-piece welded structure, stress-relieved by vibration aging or tempering, resulting in high rigidity and minimal deformation.

- Upper Blade Carrier

Driven up and down by a hydraulic cylinder, the blade cuts in a straight line, ensuring high shear quality.

- Hydraulic System

Adopts an integrated hydraulic system for stable operation, optimal oil temperature control, and high safety.

- Blade

Typically made of high-quality alloy tool steel such as 9CrSi, 6CrW2Si, or H13, it is wear-resistant, sharp, and has a long lifespan.

- Back Gauge

Controlled by CNC or manual control, it is used to set the shear length and offers high positioning accuracy.

- Worktable

Equipped with a ball bearing support to reduce surface scratches and feed resistance.

- Electrical Control System

Equipped with a PLC or CNC system, the system offers an intuitive interface and supports batch cutting, automatic positioning, and other functions.

2. Common Technical Parameter Ranges (Using Q235 Standard Steel Plate as an Example)

12mm Metal Plate Shearing Machine Parameter Table:

Items	Parameter Range
Maximum cutting thickness	12mm
Maximum cutting length	Common 2500mm / 3200mm / 4000mm (customizable up to 6000mm)
Material strength	≤ 450MPa (Q235 steel), higher strength requires reduced thickness
Cutting angle	0.5°–2° adjustable
Blade length	Same as cutting length
Cutting speed	8–14 cuts/minute
Back gauge stroke	600mm (customizable)
Main motor power	15–22kW (depending on model)
Hydraulic system pressure	Approximately 25MPa
Control system	CNC systems available, including E21S, DAC360, and ELGOP40

3. Shear Capacity of Different Materials

Analysis Table:

Materials	Tensile Strength	Recommended maximum shear thickness
Q235 carbon steel	≤ 450MPa	12mm (rated)
Stainless steel (304)	~600MPa	8-9mm
Aluminum alloy	~200MPa	16-18mm
Copper plate	~300MPa	14-15mm

The shear thickness of high-strength materials (such as stainless steel and high manganese steel) should be appropriately reduced to avoid overloading the hydraulic system and tool.

4. Performance Features

- Strong Cutting Capacity

Easily cuts Q235 ordinary carbon steel plates ≤ 12mm thick, and Q345 high-strength steel plates ≤ 10mm are recommended.

- High-Precision Cutting

The blade gap can be adjusted manually or electrically to ensure cutting quality for different plate thicknesses.

- Safe Operation

Equipped with a photoelectric safety device, a guardrail, and an emergency stop button, it complies with CE safety standards.

- High Efficiency

Shearing speeds typically reach 8–14 cuts/minute, making it suitable for medium-volume production.

- Low Noise and Low Vibration

Combined with a hydraulic drive and gate-type linear motion, the cutting process is smooth and quiet.

- Energy Saving and Environmental Protection

The hydraulic system can be equipped with an energy-saving hydraulic pump to reduce energy consumption and oil temperature.

5. Applications

Sheet Metal Fabrication: Batch cutting of steel, stainless steel, and aluminum plates.
Shipbuilding and Bridge Construction: Cutting of medium-thick plates for structural fabrication.
Construction Machinery: Cutting of plates for vehicle frames, brackets, guard plates, and other components.
Warehousing and Steel Structure: Cutting of steel plates. Heavy Equipment Manufacturing: Medium and Thick Plate Cutting Process.

6. Selection Recommendations

For long-term cutting of stainless steel or high-strength steel, it is recommended to choose an H13 blade material, and allow a 20% margin for the machine’s cutting thickness capacity.
The cutting length should be slightly longer than the maximum plate length to avoid incomplete cutting.
It is recommended to choose a machine with a CNC backgauge to improve efficiency and accuracy.
For high-frequency continuous production, consider a hydraulic system with servo pump control technology for energy efficiency and noise reduction.

SC Sheet Metal Shearing Machine Common model list:

Application Requirements	Recommended Models
