Sheet Metal Guillotines

Mechanical Guillotine

The Morgan Rushworth and RVD range of mechanical guillotines are designed for fast accurate cutting of mild steel up to 5mm. Now available in eleven capacities with either the standard manually operated back gauge or the optional advanced Elgo NC back gauge. Whilst our Cidan range of heavy duty built guillotines are capable of cutting material with thicknesses from minimum to maximum without any settings at all and are esteemed for their low energy consumption and low noise level.

Swing Beam Hydraulic Guillotine

The powerful range of Morgan Rushworth hydraulic swing beam guillotines are now available with the front guard finger safety system which offers the operator great visibility and increases safety. All machines are fitted with stainless steel quality cutting blades as standard, giving flexibility to cut a range of materials without detriment to blade life. The optional user friendly Cybtouch 6 NC controller ensures accurate cutting with precision back gauge setting and the facility to store complete cutting lists including length and quantity. For longer lengths an automatic swing away backgauge is standard.

Variable Rake Hydraulic Guillotine

The Morgan Rushworth HSVS range of variable rake CNC sheet metal guillotines are heavy duty, strong machines designed for a long working life. The CNC controller automatically calculates and adjusts the blade gap, the back gauge position, cutting angle and stroke length simultaneously once the data is entered. Therefore the strokes per minute cutting cycle is significantly increased. The cutting angle automatically adjusts according to material thickness minimising the twisting of sheet during the cutting cycle.

The Morgan Rushworth HSGS NC Swing Beam Guillotine 415V

Power and innovation combine to make the Morgan Rushworth HSGS series of hydraulic swing beam sheet metal guillotines a quintet of machines with the reliability and quality that few others are able to match.

Impressive cutting capacity

Capable of cutting material from 2560mm wide all the way up to an impressive 4060mm they are fitted with stainless steel cutting blades as standard. Capacitiesgo up to 8mm thickness (45kg/mm2) at speeds of up to 24 strokes per minute.

NC control enables accurate, efficient cutting with the ability to store and retrieve complete cutting lists and quantities quickly and easily. The HSGS series also benefits from the optional Cybtouch 8 CNC controller, delivering a range of CNC features and production line automation.

Optional Extras

The Morgan Rushworth HSGS NC Swing Beam range of guillotines use our new advanced front light guard, with multiple beams directed across the front of the blade and hold downs. This system immediately switches the machine off if the beam is interrupted, ensuring the very best operator safety levels and improved views of the work piece as the traditional guard is no longer necessary.

Other optional features include the Delem DAC 310 controller with powered blade gap adjustment, pneumatic sheet supports, angle gauge, longer squaring and support arms and a 1000mm back gauge.
