2008 - EBA 551-06 Guillotine

About this machine

This EBA 551-06 is a guillotine — also referred to as a paper cutter or stack cutter — a precision cutting machine used in print finishing and bindery operations to trim, cut, and square paper, card, and similar sheet materials to exact dimensions. EBA is a well-established German manufacturer with a long history of producing paper-cutting and print-finishing equipment for commercial print shops, copy centres, and bookbinding operations.

Built in 2008 and located in Germany, this used machine is offered with a cutting length of 550 mm, an insertion depth of 550 mm, and an insert height of 80 mm. The residual cut without the press beam cover is 20 mm, rising to 90 mm when the press beam cover is fitted. The drive system combines an electromechanical mechanism for the knife and back gauge with a hydraulic drive for the pressing beam. Pressing pressure is infinitely variable between 250 and 2,000 kg and is displayed visually on the machine. The knife carrier is constructed entirely from steel, guided and adjustable on both sides, and the unit ships with two high-quality HSS cutting knives. A swing-cut action is employed to reduce stress on the material being cut. The machine also features a knife draft adjustment and a dedicated knife-changing device with a covered knife edge for safer blade handling.

The back gauge is driven via a precision spindle at a speed of 53 mm per second and is controlled by an electronic handwheel with infinitely variable speed regulation. A quick-search button allows fast forward and reverse movement of the back gauge, and automatic dimension correction compensates for any back gauge displacement. Dimensions are entered directly via a numeric keypad, and the electronic digital display offers a resolution of 1/10 mm. Three freely programmable memory keys hold fixed dimensions, and a set key establishes a reference dimension.

The programming system supports 99 memory programs, each with up to 99 steps. Chain dimension programming allows up to 9 steps within a single program. The machine operates in both program sequence automatic mode and memory mode, with cut monitoring active throughout. Repetitive cuts can be executed in memory mode at the touch of a button, and an additional automatic memory function is included. Program steps can be deleted, inserted, or overwritten, and a paper ejection function (EJECT) is available with or without program operation, with a programmable feed path. An integrated four-function calculator is built into the control system. Metric and inch switching is supported, and a self-diagnosis system reports errors directly on the display.

The control architecture runs on 24-volt logic and includes a safety light barrier protecting the front table area electronically, along with a transparent rear table cover. A safety two-hand cut release with simultaneity control and repeat lock is fitted as standard, as is a foot pedal usable for pre-pressing or as a cutting actuator. Optical sectioning is provided via an LED-based light line. The pluggable press bar cover incorporates a snap lock and a visual indicator. An automatic return function brings both the knife and press beam back from any position, and the machine is equipped with a switch lock and lockable main switch. Table surfaces on both the front table and the side tables — fitted left and right — are finished in stainless steel. A paper impact angle is also included.
