This Haco 3100 X 10 MM is a used guillotine shear — also commonly known as a squaring shear or plate shear — a machine designed to make straight, full-length cuts through flat sheet metal by driving a hardened blade across a fixed lower blade under high mechanical force. Haco is a Belgian manufacturer with a long-standing reputation for sheet metalworking machinery, producing guillotines, press brakes, and related fabrication equipment for the metal processing and manufacturing industries. This example is located in Belgium and is available in used condition.
The machine offers a cutting length of 3,100 mm, making it well suited to processing wide sheet metal stock. It is rated to cut mild steel (St 45) up to 10 mm thick and stainless steel up to 8 mm thick — a meaningful distinction, as stainless requires greater force and the reduced capacity reflects that. The stroke rate is variable between 12 and 24 strokes per minute, giving the operator control over throughput depending on material and task requirements.
The cutting angle is adjustable between 0.5° and 3°, which allows the operator to balance cut quality against the force required — a shallower angle reduces distortion on thinner material, while a steeper angle helps the blade progress through heavier stock. The backgauge has a travel of 1,000 mm, enabling repeatable positioning of the sheet for consistent cut lengths. A digital readout is fitted to the backgauge as standard, with CNC control available as an option. The machine is equipped with a high-hold system and 18 sheet holders to keep material stable and flat against the table during cutting, which is particularly important when working close to a cut line or with larger sheets.
Additional equipment includes a pneumatic lifting system, a belt, a scrap valve, and a pallet stacking unit, indicating the machine is configured for production use with provisions for material handling and waste management at the cutting station.
