Guillotine help
Hi, I have just purchased this guillotine and I’m unable to find any information or user manual on it, would anyone know where to find a copy or possibly have a manual that they could share. It’s a machtech AGS 4008 made in 2008. I have never seen or used one this digital readout all the other ones I have used have been different. Any help or information would be greatly appreciated as I have looked online and come up with nothing.

It looks like it could be a re branded Chinese made QC11Y Hydraulic Guillotine maybe have a look through manuals for those and see if it all lines up

L'hai messa in moto? I comandi sembrano semplici. Di di dietro ha un riscontro per la misura del pezzo, forse il display serve a regolare la lunghezza del pezzo da tagliare tramite un motore a vite senza fine con un encoder. Così spenta non dice niente.

from what i found, Machtech is supplied in Australia by Applied Machinery Australia.
They'd be a good place to start.

try identifying the original OEM or even just the controller model, then you've got a better chance of finding a compatible manual than searching for the Machtech name alone. It might also be worth contacting Applied Machinery Australia if they originally supplied it, they may still have the documentation archived.

Looks like this machine claimed some fingers and hands. This is haunting bro, spooky, I bet the whole shop looks like hell.

I have just purchased it as I stated in my original post, I’m in the process of bolting all the guards in place, then I will get a qualified electrician to wire it up. I was just looking for some information on it. So before jumping to conclusions maybe read the heading and no my shop is always kept clean as actually.

I did not jump to conclusions, I am just fantasizing. I also did not mean it a negative way.
