Electric Shearing Machine
Last updated: October 14, 2026
Electric-powered guillotine shear for clean, straight cutting of sheet metal up to 1.5mm. Multiple cutting lengths available with precision backgauge positioning — the everyday panel shear for duct fabrication.
Technical Specifications
What is a Electric Shearing Machine?
An electric shearing machine (guillotine shear) cuts sheet metal with a straight upper blade descending against a fixed lower blade. Electric drive means consistent stroke speed and clean, square cuts without the effort of a manual shear — the everyday machine for cutting duct panels, blanks and strips to size.
Key Features
- Cutting lengths 600, 1000, 1300 and 1500mm across four models
- Cuts material up to 1.5mm — the full HVAC duct gauge range
- 30 strokes per minute for high-throughput panel cutting
- Light curtain safety guarding standard
- 1.5kW motor — runs from standard shop supply
Manual Shears Too Slow for Your Daily Panel Cutting?
A manual shear is arm-power limited: thick gauge is a struggle, cut quality varies with the operator, and throughput caps out well below what the rest of your line consumes.
The electric guillotine shear cuts 1.5mm material at 30 strokes a minute with a light curtain for safety — panels come off square, straight and fast enough to feed the whole shop.
How It Transforms Your Production Line
The Electric Shearing Machine works on a proven principle — here is the step-by-step workflow that makes it possible:
Positioning
The sheet is positioned against the backgauge; the cut line is set by gauge, not by eye.
Clamping
The workholding clamp secures the sheet to prevent movement during the cut.
Shearing
The electric drive brings the upper blade down at consistent speed — 30 strokes per minute.
Blank Out
The cut panel or strip is removed square and straight; the next sheet is already positioned.

Problems Solved: Before vs. After
We asked HVAC fabricators about their biggest production headaches. Here is how this machine directly addresses each one:
| Without This Machine | With This Machine |
|---|---|
|
✕ Manual shear effort
Thick gauge is a physical struggle, output limited |
✓ Electric drive
1.5mm cut at 30 strokes/min, no muscle required |
|
✕ Cut quality varies
Hand-fed cuts wander, edges need dressing |
✓ Guillotine geometry
Clean, straight, square cuts every sheet |
|
✕ Slow throughput
Manual strokes cannot feed the line |
✓ 30 strokes/min
Panel cutting keeps pace with production |
|
✕ Safety exposure
Hands near the blade on manual machines |
✓ Light curtain
Standard safety guarding stops the stroke on breach |
Where It Fits in Your Factory
This machine is versatile enough to serve multiple production scenarios. Here are the most common configurations our customers use:
Daily Panel Cutting
Cut duct panels, blanks and strips to size all shift long.
Line Feed
Feed cut panels to lockformers, flange formers and beaders.
Small Shops
Four cutting lengths and a 1.5kW motor — right-sized for any shop.
Safety-Focused Plants
Light curtain guarding as standard, not an option.
