QC11Y 8x2500 Hydraulic Guillotine Shear
The QC11Y 8x2500 hydraulic guillotine shear provides an 8 mm nominal cutting capacity, 2500 mm cutting width, adjustable 0.5°–2.5° shear angle, motorized blade-gap control and a 20–600 mm powered rear backgauge. It is engineered for repeatable sheet-metal cutting with hydraulic hold-downs and MD11 numerical control.
Industrial 8 mm Hydraulic Guillotine Shearing Machine
The QC11Y-8×2500 is a hydraulic guillotine shearing machine developed for straight cutting of carbon-steel and other compatible sheet materials. Its welded frame, hydraulic blade-beam movement and powered positioning system support practical production in sheet-metal fabrication workshops.
The adjustable shear angle allows the operator to balance cutting force, sheet deformation and cutting frequency. Motorized blade-clearance adjustment helps match the blade gap to the material thickness and cutting conditions.
The MD11 controller manages rear-backgauge positioning and displays operating information. The reference backgauge travel is 20–600 mm, with positioning accuracy stated as ≤±0.1 mm under the specified operating conditions.
Upper and lower rectangular shear blades provide four usable cutting edges. The blades can be rotated before sharpening or replacement, helping buyers control blade-maintenance costs.

Powerful QC11Y 8x2500 Hydraulic Guillotine Shear Features
The machine combines adjustable cutting geometry, controlled sheet positioning and a heavy welded structure to address accuracy, deformation, blade life and production-efficiency requirements.
Variable Shear Angle
The 0.5°–2.5° adjustable shear angle helps match the cutting action to sheet thickness, cutting force and acceptable material deformation.
Powered Rear Backgauge
A motor-driven 20–600 mm backgauge supports repeated cut-length positioning and reduces dependence on manual measurement.
Motorized Blade Gap
Blade clearance can be adjusted according to material thickness and grade to help control burr, cutting force and premature blade wear.
Four-Edge Shear Blades
Rectangular upper and lower blades provide four usable cutting edges, allowing blade rotation before sharpening or replacement.
Hydraulic Hold-Downs
Hydraulic hold-down cylinders clamp the sheet before cutting to reduce movement and support more consistent cut dimensions.
Rigid Welded Frame
The Q235 welded structure is stress relieved and processed to provide the rigidity needed for long-term industrial sheet cutting.

Hydraulic, Electrical and Control Configuration
The reference machine uses an MD11 numerical controller and a motorized rear backgauge. The operator can enter positioning data and monitor the cut-length setting through the control interface.
The hydraulic system drives blade-beam movement and material hold-downs. A three-point rolling guide supports stable movement of the blade beam during repeated cutting cycles.
Reference electrical components include Siemens or Schneider devices. The supplied configuration also lists a DICHENG main motor, Shanghai Yongmin hydraulic valve block and Zilin main cylinders.

How the QC11Y Shear Addresses Common Cutting Problems
Buyers searching for a hydraulic guillotine shear commonly evaluate cut repeatability, material movement, edge quality, blade life, safety and the accuracy of rated capacity.
Inconsistent Cut Length
The powered backgauge and MD11 controller support repeated positioning. First-piece measurement and regular backgauge calibration remain necessary.
Sheet Movement During Cutting
Hydraulic hold-down cylinders clamp the workpiece before shearing, while the front support and squaring arm help maintain sheet alignment.
Burr or Distorted Cut Edge
Adjustable blade clearance and variable shear angle help match the cutting geometry to sheet thickness, material strength and acceptable deformation.
Premature Blade Wear
Four usable blade edges extend service intervals. Correct gap selection, lubrication and timely blade rotation are still required.
Difficult Sheet Feeding
Front supports and ball transfers reduce feeding resistance and make it easier to handle wide sheet-metal workpieces.
Unclear Cutting-Capacity Claims
Capacity should be checked against material grade, tensile strength, actual width and required cut quality—not only the nominal 8 mm model rating.
