RICO – Guillotine Shears – HGR Range

RICO HGR guillotine shears are a certainty of dimensionally accurate cuts with no burr, no helix, no bow and no twisting in any thickness and in any type of plate. The design principle is based on the vertical cutting principle with angle variation and a robust structure in which the blade beam is supported on adjustable bearings along its entire length.

This technology, developed over decades of experience, allows you to adjust the best-suited cutting angle according to the characteristics of the plate, and therefore the cut is smooth and balanced throughout its length.

Features:

• Vertical cut
• Variable rake angle
• Blade holder supported by adjustable bearings
• Elgo P40 control
• Management of energy saving Standby Function
• Strong back gauge equipped with high-quality hardened ball screws
• RAE system (RICO)

Customer Benefits:

• Reliability:
  All structural parts are calculated by the finite element method, and only high-quality steel S275 and S355 JR, namely J2 (+ N), is used.
• Vertical cut and variable rake angle
  The Rico shears are vertical-cut machines of vertical cut (the blade beam is supported by bearings), allowing different angles depending on the thickness of the sheet material, a situation that isn’t possible in swing-beam cutting shears, where the angle is steady.
• Structure
  The structure of HGR is designed to ensure the best balance and less deformation during cutting. It is a single-unit welded construction, reinforced, sheet-quality, certified, and properly dimensioned.
• Operation
  The blade beam is supported on bearings over the whole length. There are adjustable in each point, which would guarantee complete completion. The cylinders are installed in the structure as a single unit, working vertically. Once the blade beam is supported by bearings over the entire length, the friction is zero, and the deformation of the machine is controlled.

Back gauge
The back gauge is equipped with hardened ball screws of high quality, thereby ensuring high accuracy, speed and durability.

Incorporated with the RAE system, allows automatic retraction during the cut.
The back gauge is available in two versions, BGS and BGA, servo-motorised.
