Description

Overview
The KHT 4012 M NC is a hydraulic guillotine shear with a swing-beam design. The cutting beam runs in a pivot bearing anchored to the machine frame, providing straight cuts and preventing upper/lower knife jamming. The ESTUN E21 NC controller ensures precise back-gauge positioning.

Highlights
  • ESTUN E21 NC control for accurate positioning
  • Back gauge with preloaded ball screws
  • Pneumatic plate hold-up for thin sheets
  • Knives suitable for stainless steel
  • Adjustable angular stop and roller-ball work table

Standard equipment
  • NC control ESTUN E21S (up to 40 programs / 25 steps; retract during cut; auto return; power-off protection)
  • Pneumatic sheet support for thin material
  • Controlled back gauge for single cuts and series
  • Shadow line for exact cut alignment
  • Front support arms (4 positions, 1,000 mm arms for 4,000 mm working length)
  • Mobile foot pedal with emergency stop
  • Manual cutting gap adjustment
  • Full-length finger guard with flip-up section for visibility
  • Rear light barrier for back working area safety
  • Standard upper and lower knives suitable for stainless steel
  • Operating tools and manual

Optional equipment
  • Hydraulic oil cooler (recommended for series production/high-temperature environments)
  • Additional blade set (stainless steel kit)
  • Automatic central lubrication

Machine frame
  • Stress-relieved welded steel frame in swing-beam design
  • Swinging cutter beam restores clearance between upper and lower knife after each cut
  • Benefits: low-torsion cuts, reliable part release, extended knife life, simple kerf adjustment

Material support
  • Large work table with roller balls and rigid adjustable angular stop for safe plate alignment
  • Long, sturdy support arms to hold large plates

Hydraulics
  • Reliable, low-maintenance hydraulic system designed for ease of service
  • Hydraulically regulated hold-downs secure the sheet near the cut line during cutting

Back gauge
  • Robust back gauge system suitable for demanding production environments
  • Preloaded ball screws mounted in protective enclosure; back gauge travel 1,000 mm, X-axis feed 2,280 mm/min

Equipment / Operation
  • ESTUN E21 NC control for precise positioning (single cuts and program runs)
  • Mobile foot pedal with emergency stop
  • Shadow line for accurate cut alignment
  • Upper and lower knives suitable for stainless steel

Safety
