Bernardo MTA 1560 x 3 mm – Motorised Guillotine Shear

Bernardo MTA 1560 x 3 mm – Motorized Guillotine Shear with Manual Backgauge

The Bernardo MTA 1560 x 3 mm is a motorized guillotine shear designed for precise and reliable cuts on steel, aluminum, copper, and brass sheets up to 3 mm thick (400 N/mm²). With a cutting length of 1560 mm and a 2°30’ angle, it ensures clean, burr-free surfaces thanks to its professional-grade double-edged steel blades. The quick adjustment of the backgauge (up to 750 mm) via handwheel and the table with integrated rollers simplify the processing of even large sheets. Safety is guaranteed by rear photocell guards and a foot pedal with emergency stop, which allows hands to remain free for workpiece positioning. Equipped with integrated cutting line illumination and a robust welded steel structure, with a 3.0 kW motor and a weight of 1470 kg, this shear is the choice for workshops and companies that require reliability and precision.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

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

What is the maximum thickness for stainless steel with the Bernardo MTA 1560 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% (approx. 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 available with 3–5 working days shipping.

Is assistance and spare parts available in Italian?

Original spare parts available with 3–5 working days shipping. Customer support available in Italian.

How much space is needed for installation?

For sheet handling, free space at least equal to the cutting length (1560 mm) is required in front of and behind the machine. Coordinate with Krollit for weight specifications and necessary unloading equipment.
