About Ideal The 56 Guillotine

Ideal The 56 Guillotine, the next generation programmable powered guillotine. Smarter working using the very latest in software-driven tablet technology. Leading to higher productivity and increased efficiency.

This next-generation cutting device uses technology to enhance the user experience. A 390mm touch screen tablet controller guides the operator through the cut sequence. Offering intuitive advice to ensure the most productive cutting sequence is utilised for each job.

The 56 is a fully configured commercial print guillotine for the B3 and digital print market. Electro-mechanical blade drive and hydraulically powered clamp with infinite pressure control. An electronically controlled false clamp plate, ideal for delicate work, optimises the distribution of the clamping force. When required can be removed for smaller work.

Productivity is enhanced through the high speed back gauge which now operates as speeds up to 100mm per second making size changes virtually instant. The Cut Control program allows for instant storage, with full character referencing, of up to 4GB of data which equates to a virtually inexhaustible storage platform for repeat work. The Cut Control function incorporates a video display to demonstrate to the operator the correct cut and work rotation sequence to avoid costly mistakes and also speed up production.

An integrated foot pedal provides pre clamping, while the IR Safety Curtain takes care of the safety functions along side the new Ideal Easy Touch simple and safe two hand cut release with illuminated coloured status display. A dimmable and switchable luminous LED cutting line indicator as well as a dimmable LED illumination of the front table also comes as standard. The newly designed control element for the back gauge and adjustable operational height further enhance the user experience. It adds up to a highly versatile machine able to cope with a wide range of print work and material types.
