This Fischer FZR 21 is a used guillotine shear — sometimes referred to as a veneer guillotine or veneer clipper — built in 2015 and currently located in Germany. In the context of woodworking and panel production, a guillotine shear of this type is designed to cut and splice veneer strips, joining them edge-to-edge to produce continuous or component-matched veneer faces. Fischer, operating as Fischer & Rückle, is a recognised German manufacturer specialising in veneer splicing and jointing machinery for the wood and furniture industries.
This machine is configured as a veneer crossfeed splicing machine, meaning it processes veneer strips across the grain direction to assemble wider veneer faces. It accommodates strip lengths in the grain direction from 350 to 2,150 mm and strip widths in the cross-grain direction from 50 to 600 mm, with a minimum finished face width of 260 mm. Veneer thickness is handled across a range of 0.3 to 1.5 mm, covering the thin materials typical of decorative and industrial veneering applications.
The machine includes a semi-automatic feeding device for efficient and comfortable loading of veneer strips, reducing operator effort during production. A panel automatic function is also fitted, enabling the production of component-matched faces by working with pre-sorted strips and a pre-selected strip count — a valuable feature where grain-matched panel sets are required.
A defining technical feature is the horizontal pressing system, which applies pressure along the glue joint to produce fully closed, tight bonds between strips. A veneer realignment function is provided through a return transport motion, helping to keep strips correctly positioned before pressing. The liftable pressure beam allows fast access to the heating plates for cleaning without significant downtime.
An integrated clipper trims the spliced veneer to a pre-set format width in the cross-grain direction immediately after splicing. Short widths are measured and preset via an integrated encoder, while larger widths are determined by photo eyes, giving the machine flexibility across a range of finished face dimensions.
Operationally, the machine features a touchscreen panel with arranged icons and separate pressure gauges with direct access, simplifying setup and monitoring. The design philosophy emphasises low maintenance through few wearing parts and reduced service requirements, alongside solid, durable construction intended for reliable long-term operation.
