About the Ideal 5255 Guillotine

The IDEAL 5255 is a fully-featured programmable guillotine. Capable of cutting the full range of materials in large formats up to B3. Fully electronic operation of both the knife and clamp offer effortless cutting performance. Whilst the pre-clamping function allows operators to check the cut position before activating the knife. Optional side tables can be added to expand the work area, giving the operator extra workable space and boosting productivity.

The Touch Screen display allows operators to quickly enter an exact size, select or program their own pre-set sizes, or enter one of a possible 99 programs for future recall. The patented Easy Cut paddle twin-hand activation system for the blade and clamp uses an ergonomic design and keeps the operator comfortable even during extended periods of use. A clear RED Led cut line indicator and electronically controlled paper push function with manual fine positioning complete the package.

The Ideal Safety Cutting System (SCS) includes an interlocking transparent safety guard at the front while a fixed steel cover protects the rear of the guillotine. In addition a self-diagnosis system pin points any faults which may need attention.
