Bernardo HKS 3200 x 12 – CNC Hydraulic Guillotine Shear for sheet metal up to 12 mm

Bernardo HKS 3200 x 12 Hydraulic Shear

The Bernardo HKS 3200 x 12 hydraulic shear is the ideal choice for precisely cutting sheet metal up to 3200 mm in length and 12 mm in thickness (material strength 400 N/mm²). With a linear cutting bar movement and an angle adjustable directly from the control panel, it produces optimal results even on thin materials and for precision applications. The motorized and adjustable backgauge from 20 to 800 mm allows for quick setups; the robust welded steel structure ensures stability and long-term durability. Equipped with front support arms, a table with integrated rollers, and cutting line illumination with a shadow outline, it facilitates work with large panels. With photocells, protective grids, and a foot pedal with emergency stop, safety is of a high standard. The 11 kW motor provides adequate power for the productivity required in professional workshops and metalworking shops.

Frequently asked questions

Does this shear have integrated CNC control?

Yes. The HKS and HSB series Bernardo hydraulic shears come standard with the ES21S CNC control, which manages the automatic cutting cycle, backgauge programming, and diagnostics. The CNC panel allows for programming repeated cycles without manual intervention between cuts.

What is the maximum thickness for stainless steel?

The nominal thickness of 12 mm refers to S235 steel (400 N/mm²). For AISI 304 stainless steel (600 N/mm²), the capacity is reduced by 30–40% (approximately 7.8 mm). Please check with Krollit for specific materials.

Are the blades reversible and how long do they last?

Yes. The blades have 4 reversible cutting edges. Durability depends on the material cut and thickness: on standard mild steel, blades last for thousands of cuts before replacement. Original Bernardo blades are available with 3–5 working days shipping.

Is a special foundation required?

Large format hydraulic shears require an adequate industrial floor. For machines over 3,000 kg, consult a structural engineer. Coordinate with Krollit before ordering for complete installation specifications.

How much space is needed in the workshop?

Minimum clear space equal to the cutting length (3200 mm) in front of and behind the machine. For coiled sheets, add space for the uncoiler. Contact Krollit for complete machine dimensions.
