CIDAN RAPIDO SSM electrical guillotine shear
CIDAN RAPIDO SSM (Stacking Sensitive Material) is our cut n’ stack system that speeds up your guillotine shear and never leaves you with scratches or dog-ears.
Set backgauge measurements and number of cuts. The sheet support is pulled back fast as lightening and the cut material falls gently down onto the moveable material wagon (option) where the sheets are stacked at a speed of up to 24 panels per minute. The material wagon can be loaded with up to 700 kg. In combination with the CutLink control system you have a real cutting and stacking giant that can be programmed for different backgauge settings in the desired quantities, all with neat stacking on the material wagon. There is no smarter, gentler or more efficient backgauge system for high volumes.

motorized backgauge

Backgauge
It facilitates material handling by controlling the position of both the sheet holder and the sheet support. CutLink can be used in both manual and automatic modes. RAPIDO SSM delivered as standard with 1000 mm backgauge.

Cutting speed:
125 mm – 24 cuts/min
750 mm – 15 cuts/min
0-100 mm – 35 cuts/min but without SSM-function
Pneumatic hold down beam
Pneumatic hold down beam, only 32 mm from cutting line for minimal waste. Advantage when cutting soft and sensitive materials. Hold down beam also serves as finger protection preventing fingers to reach the shear.
Sheet support SSM

SSM (Stacking Sensitive Material) is our cut n’ stack system that speeds up your electrical guillotine shear and never leaves you with scratches or dog-ears. The sheet support is pulled back fast as lightening and the cut material falls gently down onto the moveable material wagon (option) where the sheets are stacked at a speed of up to 24 panels per minute.
The rear side of the machine is covered with mechanical side fences and light guard, for easy access to the moveable SSM material wagon.

RAPIDO SSM table
RAPIDO SSM has milled grooves in the table every tenth millimeter and fixed angle stops with millimeter scales on both sides.
LED-illuminated cutting line
The hold down beam has an opening at the top, providing a clear view of the LED illuminated lower shear blades. This is very helpful when cutting along marked lines.
