CAMT QC11Y Guillotine Type Hydraulic Shears For Sale
- Adjustable rake angle for optimal cut quality and reduced plate distortion
- High-rigidity welded structure built for continuous industrial use
- Precise backgauge and digital control for consistent, repeatable results
- Efficient hydraulic system with fast cycle times
The CAMT QC11Y hydraulic guillotine shear uses a moving upper blade and a fixed lower blade to apply controlled shearing force to metal plates. By maintaining an optimized blade gap, the machine cleanly separates plates of various thicknesses to the exact size required.
Hydraulic cylinders on both ends of the machine work in tandem to ensure the upper beam moves in a perfectly parallel path. Adjusting the oil volume in the tandem circuit changes the shear angle (rake angle) as needed. For thinner materials, a smaller shear angle reduces twisting and distortion while shortening the stroke. This allows higher stroke rates per minute. A nitrogen accumulator assists the return cylinders, minimizing non-cutting travel time and increasing overall productivity.
The result is a rigid, efficient shear that combines precision, speed, and reliability for demanding fabrication work.

It offers high shearing speeds and reliable operation, making it ideal for high-volume, continuous production and effectively lowering costs per unit of time.
Intelligent Digital Control System for Easy Operation and High Repeatability
Comes standard with the Estun E21S CNC system (DAC-360T optional), enabling precise control over the backgauge, shearing angle, blade clearance, and stroke. It supports the storage of 40 programs (with 25 steps each), power-loss memory, intelligent positioning, and rapid indexing. The backgauge utilizes a ball screw and servo drive, ensuring accurate positioning, easy adjustment, and high repeatability—making it quick and easy for even novices to master.
Pneumatic Sheet Support + Anti-Twist System for Superior Thin/Narrow Sheet Quality
The pneumatic sheet support system automatically rises to provide support, effectively preventing large or thin sheets from sagging or deforming. An anti-twist mechanism ensures stable clamping and uniform force distribution, preventing narrow strips or thin sheets from twisting during shearing and protecting the surfaces of polished stainless steel or pre-coated sheets from scratches. This results in smoother cut edges and significantly reduces the need for rework.
High-Rigidity Welded Steel Structure – Durable and Low Maintenance
The integrated welded steel plate structure offers exceptional rigidity; treated with sandblasting and anti-rust coating, it boasts high impact resistance. The blade carrier guide rail utilizes a three-point rolling support system, ensuring smooth operation and collision resistance. Combined with a Schneider Electric system and a powerful main motor, the machine delivers a long service life and low failure rate, while requiring minimal daily maintenance—making it ideal for long-term, heavy-duty industrial use.
Manual-Lift Back Gauge + Multi-Step Programming for Extra-Long Sheets and Automation
The back gauge assembly (BGA) features a manual lift function, enabling the easy shearing of extra-long sheets that exceed the standard gauge travel range. Multi-step programming supports automatic, continuous positioning and real-time shear counting. Combined with power-loss memory and real-time position display, the machine offers true versatility, efficiently handling everything from single-piece prototyping to automated batch production.
ESTUN E21S Simple Digital Control
The Estun E21S digital control system puts complete and intuitive command of the shear in the operator’s hands. Every critical parameter — back gauge position, cutting angle, blade gap and stroke length — can be adjusted quickly and with high precision, allowing the machine to be fine-tuned for different materials and thicknesses in seconds.
Intelligent positioning supports both unilateral and bidirectional movement, while the retract function and automatic reference search reduce setup time and eliminate common positioning errors. One-key parameter backup and restore, combined with fast position indexing, makes it easy to switch between jobs or recover settings after maintenance. The controller stores up to 40 complete programs, each with 25 steps, so frequently used cutting sequences can be recalled instantly. Power-off protection ensures that all programs and parameters remain safely stored even in the event of an unexpected shutdown, delivering reliable, uninterrupted production day after day.
DAC-360T featuring:
The optional DAC-360T controller upgrades the machine with a clear 7-inch widescreen TFT colour display and a practical panel-based design. Operators can control both the back and front gauges, adjust cutting angle and blade gap, and set precise stroke length limits with ease. Manual movement of all axes is supported, along with force control and a useful Return-to-Sender function that further streamlines daily operation.
The system stores up to 100 programs for quick recall of frequently used cutting sequences. It also works seamlessly with the sheet support system and includes a sheet thickness measurement function, giving operators greater accuracy and consistency when processing different materials.
Technical Highlights
- Advanced Optical Amplification: Employs pump light excitation of doped ions within the fiber core, driving photon oscillation and amplification to output a stable, high-power beam through the resonant cavity.
- Compact & Flexible Architecture: Designed for seamless system integration, maximizing workspace utility without compromising power output.
BGA Accurate & Fast BGA System
The CAMT back gauge system moves in perfect synchronisation with the swinging upper beam. Positioned by a servo motor that drives a precision ball screw through a gear reduction unit, it delivers fast and highly accurate positioning. Operators can move the gauge forward or backward simply by pressing the “+” or “–” buttons, with the exact position shown clearly on the digital display. For ultra-fine adjustments, a manual handwheel is available to achieve the precise setting required.
When the sheet length exceeds the maximum gauge range, the gauge plate can be moved fully to the rear and lifted clear, allowing unrestricted cutting of extra-long plates. The result is a convenient, reliable and highly flexible gauging system that maintains accuracy across a wide variety of job sizes.
Pneumatic Sheet Support System for Precision Shearing Machine
The optional pneumatic sheet support system uses air cylinders powered by compressed air to automatically raise and lower the support frame. During the cutting cycle it holds the plate firmly in position, preventing sagging and deformation that can compromise accuracy — especially on large, thin or heavy sheets.
Compared with traditional mechanical or manual supports, the pneumatic system responds quickly, operates smoothly and requires minimal maintenance. Its energy-efficient design and simple adjustment make it particularly well suited to automated or high-precision production, helping operators achieve consistent cutting quality and higher overall throughput.
Shear Distortion Prevention: Principle and Function
The Anti-Twist System prevents distortion of the sheet during cutting by combining secure clamping with precise guiding. It firmly holds the material in place to restrict unwanted horizontal movement while distributing cutting forces evenly across the plate. This minimises localised stress, especially on narrow or thin strips that are most prone to twisting.
Working in coordination with the hydraulic system, the device can also adjust clamping force according to material thickness and type, helping maintain flatness under a wide range of cutting conditions. As a result, operators achieve cleaner, straighter edges, reduced sliding and fewer surface marks on sensitive materials such as polished stainless steel or pre-painted sheets. The system lowers the need for rework, improves overall process reliability and expands the machine’s capability to handle high-precision or surface-critical jobs with confidence.
