This Heidelberg OHT is a die cutter — sometimes referred to as a platen cutter or clam press — a machine used in the printing and packaging industries to cut, crease, and score sheet materials such as paper, card, and board to precise shapes using custom-made dies. Heidelberg is one of the most widely recognised names in printing machinery, with a long history of manufacturing equipment known for its engineering precision and reliability, serving commercial printers, packaging converters, and finishing operations around the world.
Built in 1962 and carrying serial number 137806 N, this machine is offered in used condition from a seller based in Germany. It is capable of handling a sheet size range from a minimum of 40 × 70 mm up to a maximum of 260 × 380 mm, giving it useful versatility across a range of smaller format work. Production speed is variable, running from 2,200 sheets per hour at the lower end up to 5,500 sheets per hour at full output, allowing the operator to balance throughput against material type and job requirements.
The standard chase measures 260 × 340 mm, while the skeleton chase measures 260 × 350 mm, providing the form locking and support framework within which the cutting and creasing tools are seated. The listing notes that the machine is complete with tools, accessories, and locking frame, meaning it is offered as a ready-to-work package rather than a bare unit.
