Bernardo HSB 3200 x 12 - Hydraulic guillotine shear for sheet metal up to 12 mm

Bernardo Hydraulic Shears HSB 3200 x 12

The Bernardo HSB 3200 x 12 hydraulic shear is designed for the professional cutting of sheet metal up to 3200 mm in length and 12 mm in thickness (400 N/mm²). The welded steel frame ensures stability and torsion-free processing, while the integrated cutting line illumination with shadow contour provides precision and optimal visibility. The motorized CNC back gauge, adjustable from 20 to 800 mm, allows for accurate and rapid adjustments, while the low-angle (1°50’) cutting bar ensures clean, high-quality cuts. The front support arms and the table with integrated rollers facilitate the processing of large panels. Safety is guaranteed by protective grids, photocells, and a foot pedal with an emergency stop. With a powerful 18.5 kW motor, 14 hold-downs, and a weight of 10,500 kg, the HSB 3200 x 12 is suitable for metalworking shops and workshops that require reliability, power, and precision.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this shear have integrated CNC control?

Yes. Bernardo HKS and HSB series hydraulic shears come standard with the ES21S CNC control, which manages automatic cutting cycles, back gauge 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. Their lifespan depends on the material cut and its thickness: on standard mild steel, the blades last for thousands of cuts before needing replacement. Original Bernardo blades are available with 3–5 business 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?

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