ENGINEERING COMPANY FOR
QUALITY GUILLOTINE SHEARS

Made in Germany – SINCE 1915

Welcome

FROM DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT
TO THE FINISHED MACHINE

//

Precise, custom-fit, efficient! HSK guillotine shears for production lines or stand-alone are consistently developed according to the individual requirements of our customers. Each guillotine shear is carefully designed, engineered and manufactured. Our products combine decades of experience and our unique know-how with energy-efficient and innovative cutting technology.

CUTTING SYSTEMS

Custom shears for automatic production lines.

Our high quality HSK-shears are often integrated with upstream or downstream machines to a fully automated production line. The machines are custom-designed and all the wishes of the customer are respected in the manufacturing of the shear.

The motor drive of the guillotine shear is also designed according to customer requirements and therefor realized using an AC gear brake motor, a servo gear motor or a flywheel with a pneumatically or hydraulically actuated clutch-brake combination.

ENERGY EFFICIENT TECHNOLOGY

Cutting with the highest precision and minimal energy consumption.

In addition to their high precision, cutting speed and robustness, motor-operated eccentric shears from HSK are particularly characterized by a very high energy efficiency and environmental compatibility.

The disadvantages of hydraulically operated guillotine shears, such as the large amount of heat lost and the use of large quantities of hydraulic oil combined with a low number of strokes, are eliminated. Instead, the motor-operated drive of the HSK shears is designed individually for the customer’s specific task and is thus selected between the possible variants of AC geared motor, servo geared motor and clutch drive.

2015 marks the centuriary year of HSK Engineering. In 1915 Karl Huttenlocher founded an engineering workshop in Kirchheim unter Teck, a picturesque village at the foot of the Swabian Jura in Baden Württemberg.

Five generations later, our company still operates as a typical Swabian family business – where roles and responsibilities are shared, and collaborative spirit exists between management and employees. Our approach to engineering combines innovative design with up-to-date technology and production standards of the highest order.

We are proud to look back on 100 years of continuous engineering development in which our machines have been and still are used by famous manufacturing companies around the world.

Whether it´s cars, washing machines, switch cabinets, transformers or even occlusal splints, our shears are a key part of the production process.

And they´re made by us – HSK Machine Engineering.
