What Is a Guillotine Cutter?
A guillotine is a cutting tool designed to produce straight, clean cuts in foam and rubber materials. It works through a vertically or horizontally moving blade that slices through material with precision — similar to a paper cutter but adapted for industrial-grade materials. Guillotines are essential for material preparation and fabrication, ensuring components are manufactured to exact dimensions and tolerances.
Key Features & Capabilities of Our Guillotine Services
- Precision Cutting: Delivers highly accurate, clean cuts — critical for gasket making, insulation, packaging, and sealing applications.
- Material Versatility: Cuts a wide range of foam and rubber types, including closed-cell and open-cell foams, sponge rubber, solid rubber, and synthetic sheets.
- Variable Thickness Handling: Capable of cutting material from 1mm up to 100mm thick (with lamination available for increased thickness).
- Adjustable Widths: Custom cutting widths up to 380mm, allowing flexibility in part size and shape.
- Reduced Waste: High precision results in minimal off-cuts, improving material efficiency and reducing cost.
- High Productivity: Efficient material handling and automatic feeding accelerate the production process, thereby reducing lead times.
- Scalability: Machines can accommodate both small-batch and high-volume production runs.
- User-Friendly Operation: Guillotines are operated by trained technicians with minimal setup time, ensuring consistent results.
