About this machine
This Amada 3040 X 10 MM is a used guillotine shear — sometimes referred to as a power shear or plate shear — a machine designed to make straight, clean cuts through sheet metal and plate by driving a hardened blade across a fixed lower blade. Amada is a well-established Japanese manufacturer recognised worldwide for its precision sheet metal working machinery, supplying equipment to the fabrication, automotive, aerospace, and general metalworking industries.
This machine is listed as Type 3000B and is rated for cutting mild steel with a tensile strength of 40–45 kg/mm², a standard structural steel grade. Its cutting length is 3,040 mm, making it suitable for processing full-width sheet stock, and the maximum sheet thickness at that full length is 10 mm. The depth of throat — the clearance between the blade and the machine frame — is 750 mm, which determines how far a workpiece can be fed into the machine.
The blade angle is adjustable across three positions: 0.40°, 1.51°, and 2.41°. A steeper rake angle reduces the cutting force required but can introduce more distortion in the cut piece, while a shallower angle produces a cleaner cut and is preferred for thicker or more precise work. The relationship between rake angle, cutting length, and maximum material thickness is clearly documented in the seller's data. At a 0.5° effective rake over a 3,000 mm cut, the machine handles up to 2 mm plate; at 1° over 3,000 mm, up to 6 mm; at 2° over 3,000 mm, up to 10 mm; at 2° over 2,000 mm, up to 12 mm; and at 3° over 1,300 mm, up to 15 mm. These figures confirm that maximum capacity rises as cut length is reduced, consistent with the mechanics of guillotine shearing.
The stroke rate is variable between 20 and 70 strokes per minute, allowing the operator to balance throughput against material type and thickness. The machine is offered in used condition and is located in Belgium.
