Bernardo MTM 1250 x 3 mm – Motorized Guillotine Shear

Bernardo MTM 1250 x 3 mm – Motorized Guillotine Shear with Manual Backgauge

The Bernardo MTM 1250 x 3 mm is a motorized guillotine shear designed for precise and efficient cutting of steel, aluminum, brass, and copper up to 3 mm thick (400 N/mm²). With a cutting length of 1250 mm and a 2° angle, it ensures clean, burr-free surfaces thanks to its high-quality, double-edged upper and lower blades. The manually adjustable backgauge, up to 600 mm with a handwheel, allows for quick and accurate positioning, while the foot pedal leaves hands free for optimal workpiece handling. The robust steel construction, work table with front supports, and cutting line illumination ensure stability and precision. With a 3.0 kW motor and a weight of 980 kg, the MTM 1250 x 3 mm is ideal for workshops and businesses requiring a compact, safe, and professional shear.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between MTA, MTE, and MTR series?

MTA: manual structure without NC motorization, for low-volume artisanal production. MTE: motorized with NC, standard welded steel structure. MTR: motorized with NC and pneumatic sheet support to facilitate the positioning of heavy sheets or long formats. The choice depends on production volume and the format of the sheets being processed.

What is the maximum thickness for stainless steel with the Bernardo MTM 1250 x 3 mm – Guillotine Shear?

The nominal thickness of 3 mm refers to S235 steel (400 N/mm²). For AISI 304 stainless steel (600 N/mm²), the capacity is reduced by 30–40% (approximately 2.0 mm). Always check with Krollit for specific high-strength materials.

Are the blades reversible?

Yes. The shear blades have 4 cutting edges: when one edge wears out, the blade is rotated to expose the next cutting edge. Original Bernardo replacement blades are available with 3–5 business day shipping.

Is assistance and spare parts available in Italian?

Original spare parts available with 3–5 business day shipping. Customer support available in Italian.

How much space is needed for installation?

For sheet metal handling, free space at least equal to the cutting length (1250 mm) is needed in front of and behind the machine. Coordinate with Krollit for weight specifications and necessary unloading equipment.
