TL;DR: In this article, the authors used finite element software with an explicit solver to analyze the behavior of a guillotine shearing machine for metal sheet processing and found that excessive clearance overloads the machine considerably compared to normal clearance, owing to considerable lateral forces.
Abstract: Guillotine shearing machines for metal sheet may be inadvertently operated at increased blade clearance. Typical cases were studied using commercially available finite element software with an explicit solver. Loads causing elastic deformation to the machine structure arise from plastic deformation of the sheet metal being processed, its behavior being modelled by modified Johnson-Cook law. Excessive clearance was found to overload the machine considerably compared to normal clearance, owing to considerable lateral forces. As a result, the guillotine and much less so the base of the machine, undergo oscillatory deformation and the sheet is partly sheared and mostly bent. Such analysis helps the designer understand structural issues of the machine tool in extreme situations and modify the design appropriately.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the problems faced by the steel industry as well as the necessary steps which should be taken for improvement of the productivity of STS machine and also it has made contribution to Bhilai Steel Plant by its growth and prosperity.
Abstract: Article history: Received 6 October, 2015 Accepted 23 April 2016 Available online 24 April 2016 Double-sided trimming shear machine is used for longitudinal both–sided trimming of steel plates and simultaneous scraping of trimmed edges at specific length. Side trimming shear (STS) executes the most vital role in increasing the productivity of plate mill and due to its feature, efficiency of plate mill division is enormously increases. In general, frequency of the occurrence of breakdown in STS machine is a most challenging task when STS performs side trimming and scrap cutting machining process. Bhilai Steel Plant (Steel Authority of India at Bhilai) in India is continuously facing a problem due to breakdown of STS machine. The use of separate knife for side trimming and scrap cutting reduces the possibility of scrap jamming which is a major reason for breakdown of STS machine. Researchers and practitioners also suggest the use of arc guillotine shear for side trimming and straight guillotine shear for scrap cutting for minimizing the breakdown in STS machine. The aim of this study is to describe the problems faced by the steel industry as well as the necessary steps which should be taken for improvement of the productivity of STS machine and also it has made contribution to Bhilai Steel Plant by its growth and prosperity. The methodology of study is purely qualitative and the results point out the problems, its implications, steps taken to improve the overall productivity of Bhilai steel plant. © 2016 Growing Science Ltd.

TL;DR: In this article, the major components of guillotine shear, including the two side-stands, bottom connecting plate, hold-down and top connecting plate are examined critically for rigidity and strength whilst the shear is in operation.
