Electro-hydraulic shear Mercurius

for metalsheet metalguillotine

Product overview
Mercurius guillotine shears are engineered to deliver precise mechanical cuts while preserving the surface and metallurgical properties of sensitive materials such as pre-painted and galvanised sheet metal. Cutting is performed without heat input, avoiding oxidation and changes to the metal's crystalline structure.

Affordable and efficient solution
These shears provide an economical and compact alternative to laser or plasma cutting, offering lower operating costs while ensuring consistent cut quality for production environments.

Surface preservation
Mechanical shearing maintains surface integrity, making Mercurius particularly suitable for applications where appearance and material performance must be retained for downstream processes or final products.

Accessories and notable features

• Predictive maintenance and power usage analysis with remote monitoring and consumption trend reporting.
• Rigid high-strength welded frame with high-temperature stress-relief treatment to minimise deformation and increase stability.
• Motorised adjustable blade clearance to optimise cutting for different materials and thicknesses.
• CNC-adjustable cutting angle to adapt to varying sheet characteristics.
• Rear support options: Type 1 concealed support; Type 2 pneumatic support with lift-before and lift-after cut functions for thin sheets.
• EasyCut CNC systems for compact, user-friendly numerical control and machine interfacing.
• Anti-twist system: hydraulic piston along the cutting line to clamp and prevent twisting of long, thin strips.
• Front feeding table driven by double ball screw and linear guides; brush table with steel balls to reduce scratches; pneumatic clamps for loading.
• Suction cup plate lifter for safe handling of large or heavy sheets.
• Automatic belt stacker for post-cut stacking and evacuation of cut sheets.
• Energy-saving servopump option for improved efficiency, precision and reduced energy consumption.
• CE-compliant safety systems: certified safety module, rear infrared barrier, interlocked power switch on the electrical cabinet door, safety microswitch on front guard.
