FAQ

FAQ

A guillotine shear is used to cut sheet metal quickly, accurately and efficiently. It is an important machine in sheet metal processing, construction, ventilation, roofing, façade work and industrial fabrication, where sheet metal needs to be cut to the right size with high precision. CIDAN’s guillotine shears are developed to make cutting work easier and faster, with stable performance even in recurring production.

The right guillotine shear depends on working length, material thickness, production volume and the type of sheet metal to be cut. RAPIDO is a strong choice for fast and precise cutting in many different production environments. RAPIDO SSM is especially suitable for high volume cutting or sensitive materials, as its lightning-fast sheet holder helps the cut material fall neatly into a pile. EVO DUO is a powerful alternative for more demanding cutting work where high capacity is important.

CIDAN RAPIDO is an electrical guillotine shear for fast and precise sheet metal cutting, available in working lengths from 1350 mm to 4100 mm. RAPIDO SSM is developed for efficient cutting of sensitive materials and higher production flows, with SSM – Stacking Sensitive Material – helping the cut material stack in a controlled way. EVO DUO is designed for heavier cutting work and offers capacity up to 4.0 mm, making it suitable for more demanding sheet metal processing.

Working length and capacity determine what type of sheet metal and what sheet formats a guillotine shear can handle. A longer working length makes it possible to cut larger sheet formats, while higher capacity makes the machine suitable for thicker material. CIDAN’s range of guillotine shears includes working lengths from 1350 mm to 4100 mm and capacity up to 4 mm, making it possible to choose a machine for both simpler and more demanding cutting work.

A modern guillotine shear improves sheet metal processing by combining fast cutting, high precision and easy handling. With the right equipment, the operator can reduce manual work, achieve more consistent cutting results and create a more stable workflow. Accessories such as pneumatic sheet holders, safety mechanisms, adjustable angle stops and table extensions can further simplify the work and contribute to higher productivity in the workshop.
