Shearing machine blades—including the guillotine shear blade—are generally rectangular, round, serrated and special-shaped.
High Hardness and Wear Resistance: Shearing machine blades (such as the guillotine shear blade) are typically made of high-quality alloy steel or tool steel and undergo special heat treatment processes, such as quenching and tempering, to achieve exceptional hardness.
Excellent Sharpness: The blades are precisely machined and sharpened to create an exceptionally sharp edge.
High Precision: Modern manufacturing processes ensure that shear blades have extremely high dimensional accuracy, with errors in parallelism and straightness kept to extremely small limits. These high-precision blades ensure accurate sheared sheet dimensions within tight tolerances.
High Strength and Toughness: Blades must possess not only high hardness but also sufficient strength and toughness. When shearing thicker or higher-strength sheet materials, the blades are subject to significant impact and shearing forces.
Choosing the right blade material, hardness and edge geometry helps improve cut quality, reduce burr formation and extend blade service life. Miharting provides standard and custom shearing machine blades for different sheet materials, thicknesses and machine configurations. Additionally, investing in high-quality press brake accessories can further enhance the overall productivity and precision of your metal fabrication processes.
