Installation and Arrangement of Gap for Guillotine Machine
-
Stationary and Adjustable Blades:
In the metalworking industry, when setting up a guillotine machine, it is important to understand the functionality of the blades. Typically, one of the blades is stationary while the other blade is adjustable. The adjustable blade is equipped with bolts that run along the length of the guillotine machine. These bolts are solely responsible for adjusting and calibrating the gap between the blades to ensure precise cutting of metal sheets.

Gap Arrangement for Cutting:
According to the standards and regulations of metalworking, it is essential to maintain a specific gap between the top and lower knives for cutting metal sheets effectively. The gap between the blades should typically be set at around one percent of the metal sheet’s thickness for normal steel structural material.
-
Calibration Importance:
Calibrating the gap along the length of the guillotine machine for each segment is a critical process. Any small friction between the knives due to incorrect calibration can lead to irreversible damage to the blades. Hence, precise calibration is essential to ensure smooth and accurate cutting operations.
