This Amada 4060 X 20 MM is a used guillotine shear — sometimes referred to as a guillotine cutter or plate shear — a machine designed to make straight cuts across sheet metal and plate material with a powered, descending blade. Amada is a well-established Japanese manufacturer with a long history of producing precision sheet metal working machinery, including shears, press brakes, laser cutting systems, and punching machines, serving industries such as metal fabrication, automotive supply, construction, and general manufacturing.
The machine carries the type designation GHP 1640 and offers a cutting length of 4,060 mm, making it suited to working with wide sheet material in production environments. Its maximum cutting capacity for St 45 quality steel is 20 mm, which represents a substantial material thickness and indicates a robust, heavy-duty machine capable of handling demanding cutting tasks.
The depth of throat is 30 mm, defining how far material can be fed into the cutting zone from the edge. The blade angle is adjustable across a range from 0°30' to 2°30', allowing the operator to tune the cutting geometry to suit different material types and thicknesses — a shallower angle generally reduces distortion on thinner sheet, while a steeper angle reduces the cutting force required on thicker material.
A backgauge with a digital readout is fitted, with a travel of 1,000 mm, enabling repeatable and accurately positioned cuts across a series of workpieces. The machine is equipped with 16 sheet holders, which press and secure the material against the table during the cutting stroke to prevent movement and ensure a clean, accurate cut.
This machine is located in Belgium and is available in used condition.
