Hydraulic Guillotine Shearing Machine QC11Y 8x2500
The hydraulic guillotine shearing machine QC11Y 8x2500 provides 8 mm rated cutting thickness, 2500 mm cutting width, a 0.5°–2.5° adjustable rake angle, MD11 control and a 20–600 mm motorized backgauge for accurate, repeatable sheet metal cutting.
Hydraulic Guillotine Shearing Machine for Straight Plate Cutting
The hydraulic guillotine shearing machine QC11Y 8x2500 is designed for accurate straight cutting of sheet metal and steel plate. It provides an 8 mm rated cutting thickness and a maximum cutting width of 2500 mm for industrial metal fabrication.
The confirmed configuration includes a 2600 mm blade, 20–600 mm motorized backgauge, MD11 control system, 11 kW main motor and a cutting frequency of 9–20 strokes per minute.
Unlike a hydraulic swing beam shear, the QC11Y uses guided guillotine blade movement and an adjustable rake angle. The cutting angle can be adjusted between 0.5° and 2.5° to balance cutting capacity, operating speed and workpiece deformation.
This industrial hydraulic guillotine shearing machine is also searched as an 8mm hydraulic shear, 2500mm sheet metal shearing machine, NC guillotine shear and sheet metal cutting machine.
It is suitable for workshops producing straight-cut panels, rectangular blanks, electrical cabinets, HVAC components, machine covers and fabricated metal parts.
- 8 mm rated cutting thickness
- 2500 mm maximum cutting width
- 0.5°–2.5° adjustable rake angle
- 20–600 mm motorized backgauge
- MD11 control system
- Four usable blade cutting edges
Hydraulic Guillotine Shearing Machine Advantages
The QC11Y combines guided guillotine movement, adjustable cutting angle, motorized backgauge positioning and a rigid welded frame for repeatable sheet metal cutting.
Guillotine Blade Movement
Guided vertical blade movement supports controlled, accurate straight cutting of sheet metal and steel plate.
Adjustable Rake Angle
The 0.5°–2.5° angle range helps balance cutting force, stroke speed and workpiece deformation.
Motorized Backgauge
The 20–600 mm backgauge supports controlled sheet positioning and repeated cutting lengths.
MD11 Control System
MD11 supports backgauge, stroke, blade clearance, cutting angle and cutting-count functions.
Four-Edge Blades
Four usable blade cutting edges support longer service intervals when properly adjusted and maintained.
Rigid Welded Frame
The Q235 welded frame provides strength, rigidity and vibration resistance during industrial cutting.

How a Hydraulic Guillotine Shearing Machine Works
The cutting cycle combines backgauge positioning, hydraulic hold-down, guided blade movement and rapid return.
Set Cutting Data
Set backgauge position, blade clearance, rake angle and cutting stroke according to the material.
Position the Sheet
Feed the material across the front supports until it reaches the backgauge position.
Clamp and Cut
Hydraulic hold-down cylinders secure the sheet before the upper blade completes the cut.
Return and Repeat
The blade returns rapidly and the cycle repeats for batch sheet metal production.
MD11 Control and Hydraulic Safety Protection
MD11 control supports backgauge management, cutting stroke, cutting-angle adjustment, blade-clearance adjustment and cutting-count functions.
The hydraulic system controls material hold-down, blade movement, rake-angle adjustment, accumulator charging and rapid blade return.
- MD11 control system
- Motorized backgauge adjustment
- Electric blade-clearance adjustment
- Adjustable cutting stroke
- Cutting counter and preset quantity
- Emergency-stop and travel-limit protection
Machine installation and operation must comply with local safety regulations. Review OSHA machine-guarding requirements as a general external safety reference.
