Guillotine cutting machine

With an automatic single-pass cutting machine, tooling and machine blend into one high-performance system with high output rates and impressive flexibility. Sealing profiles for the automobile industry, but also for applications in furniture, thermal insulation for buildings or in household goods often require complex cutting processes, as these illustrations show. Process such as drilling and milling can also be integrated in these one-pass machines. For tasks of this nature, Metzner’s convincing capabilities provide a range of automatic single-pass guillotines. The common feature of all these machines is the storing of all the processing parameters and associated machine settings in a single processing recipe. At the start of production, an in-built barcode scanner reads the data from the production paperwork, activates the saved parameters and shows the required tooling and material on the operator panel display. The barcode also contains the required quantities and lengths to be produced. Thanks to well thought-out quick-change systems, the necessary tooling and material changeover is performed rapidly – generally within 30 seconds – to minimise downtime. The integral tool coding system then independently checks to ensure that the correct tooling is in place.
