About Ideal Guillotine 5560 LT

The IDEAL 5560 & 5560LT employ the latest technology to provide a fully configured commercial print guillotine. Capable of handling all types of work up to B3 in format. The guillotine includes the fully hydraulic operation of both knife and clamp, the latter with infinite pressure control, enabling fine adjustment over the holding of the stack to be cut without damaging the print work, even delicate digital prints can be handled without fuss.

An air table, LT Models only, eases the movement of the stack into position by blowing air up through the front & rear tables, while optional side tables allow stacks to be positioned outside of the main operational areas to increase throughput.

The new 7” 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. An integrated foot treadle provides pre-clamping, perfect for working with difficult media or for trimming booklets. The patented Easy Cut paddle twin hand activation for the blade and clamp are ergonomically designed and ensure even over sustained periods of use the operator remains comfortable. 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 the latest Infra-Red Safety Curtain technology 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.
