QC11 / QC12 — Guillotine & Swing Beam Shears
Plate shears: QC11K guillotine (main push) and QC12Y swing beam (budget).
The QC11K guillotine shear is our main recommendation: 4-edge blade, adjustable shear angle, CNC control — the mainstream choice in Europe and the US.
The QC12Y swing beam shear is the budget alternative for simple cutting work.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | QC11K Guillotine | QC12Y Swing Beam |
|---|---|---|
| Cutting width | 3,100 – 6,100mm | 2,500 – 4,100mm |
| Cutting thickness | 6 – 25mm | 4 – 12mm |
| Shear angle | Adjustable 1°–3° (CNC) | Fixed |
| Blade | 4-edge, 6CrW2Si (H13 opt.) | 2-edge, 6CrW2Si |
| Back gauge | CNC servo ±0.1mm | DRO manual |
| Control | CNC (Estun or equivalent) | DRO |
Configuration Options
- Hydraulic hold-down, multiple cylinders
- Motorized blade gap adjustment (CNC)
- Safety package: light curtain, dual-hand operation, rear guard
Honest engineering note: Why QC11 over QC12? Guillotine shears hold tighter accuracy (error <0.04mm), use all 4 blade edges, and are the mainstream choice internationally. QC12 is the budget option.
