Otinus Hydraulic Guillotine Shears

Rigid Construction. Controlled Cutting. Proven Performance.

Otinus guillotine shears are offered in two lines—BASE and PRO—each engineered for precise, safe, and repeatable sheet‑metal cutting in both small workshops and large production facilities. Their rigid welded constructions, refined hydraulic systems, and intuitive controls deliver clean, straight cuts with minimal deformation. Together, the two models provide a choice between dependable everyday performance and advanced automation for higher‑volume workflows, supporting the high working culture and reliability expected in modern industry.

Core Advantages Across the Series

High Cutting Quality

Rigid welded frames, precise blade guidance, and controlled hydraulic systems produce straight, clean edges with minimal deformation. These characteristics support the high working culture and reliability emphasized in the Otinus overview .

Lower Operating Costs

OCS oil cooling and PCS pressure control stabilize hydraulic performance, reduce component wear, and extend service intervals. Premium components such as Rexroth valves and Siemens‑licensed motors further support long‑term reliability.

Speed and Automation

Touchscreen or numerical controllers provide fast access to key functions, automatic parameter selection, and efficient program handling. This reduces setup time and improves repeatability in both small workshops and large production facilities .

Versatile Material Handling

Support for a wide range of sheet lengths and thicknesses allows flexible adaptation to diverse production tasks. Stable clamping systems and smooth sheet‑handling surfaces maintain accuracy across different materials.

Ergonomics and Safety

Touchscreen interfaces, light curtains, laser guides, and intuitive controls improve operator comfort and ensure safe operation. These features align with the emphasis on safe, repeatable cutting highlighted on the Otinus overview page .

Professional Support & Warranty

Each machine includes installation training, technical consultation, and a 24‑month warranty, ensuring dependable long‑term operation and confidence during daily use .

Choosing Between BASE and PRO Guillotine Shears

The BASE and PRO lines share a strong mechanical foundation—rigid welded frames, stable hydraulics, and reliable clamping—but they are optimized for different production realities. The table below clarifies those differences in a way that mirrors the structure of your fiber‑laser comparison tables.

Model Comparison

How to interpret the table

• Choose BASE if you need a dependable, mechanically robust shear for general‑purpose cutting, especially when working with thicker materials or when manual control over cutting parameters is preferred.
• Choose PRO if your workflow benefits from automation, fast changeovers, and consistent accuracy during long production runs—particularly when cutting thinner materials at higher speeds.
