The Knuth KHT 4113 is a hydraulic guillotine shear — sometimes referred to as a plate shear or hydraulic cutting machine — designed for straight-line cutting of sheet metal and plate. Machines of this type are workhorses of metal fabrication, steel service centres, and sheet-metal processing operations, where consistent, accurate cuts across large material widths are essential. Knuth is a well-established manufacturer of machine tools and metalworking equipment, supplying industries ranging from general fabrication to heavy manufacturing with a broad range of cutting, forming, and machining solutions.
This example was built in 2008 and is offered in used condition from Germany. It carries CE certification issued by TÜV Rheinland to DIN EN ISO P001:2000, providing independent verification that the machine meets applicable European safety standards.
The machine's cutting capacity is central to its capability: it handles a cutting length of 4,100 mm with a maximum cutting thickness of 13 mm, making it well suited to processing wide, heavy-gauge plate. The cutting angle is set at 1°45′, a geometry that reduces the force required across the cut and helps minimise distortion in the separated material. Stroke length is 160 mm and the machine delivers 18 strokes per minute, supporting a productive throughput in continuous shearing operations.
Precise, repeatable positioning is provided by a backgauge with a stroke of 330 mm. The working width is 3,850 mm and the working depth is 2,350 mm, with a working height of 160 mm. Overall machine depth is 5,350 mm, figures that are relevant when planning installation space. At 16,300 kg, the machine has the substantial mass expected of a rigid, vibration-resistant heavy cutting frame.
Clamping is handled by a system rated at 62 tonnes of clamp force, which holds sheet material firmly in place during the cut and contributes directly to dimensional accuracy and edge quality. The hydraulic system is driven by a 30 kW motor and served by an oil tank with a capacity of 330 litres.
