This Polar 137 XT-AT is a guillotine — sometimes referred to as a paper cutter or cutting machine — offered here as a used example built in 2005 and currently located in Germany. Guillotines of this type are used in print finishing and bookbinding operations to cut large stacks of paper, card, and similar sheet materials to precise dimensions in a single stroke. Polar, manufactured by Polar-Mohr, is one of the most widely recognised names in the global print-finishing industry, known for producing high-performance cutting and handling equipment used by commercial printers, binderies, and packaging operations worldwide.
This listing comprises a complete cutting system rather than a standalone machine. At its core is the Polar 137 XT-AT cutting machine, equipped with Compucut P-net CIP 3 network connectivity. The cutter offers a cutting length of 1,370 mm, an insertion depth of 1,450 mm, and a maximum insertion height of 165 mm. Pressing pressure is adjustable across a wide range of 550 to 5,500 daN, and the front table depth is 730 mm. The machine is fitted with nickel-plated air tables, which float sheet material on a cushion of air for smooth, low-effort handling. Two knives are included. An Autotrim waste removal system is integrated, featuring a bay beneath the table to accommodate a waste container or connection to a suction system; this requires connection to an existing compressed-air supply.
The system has been configured around an ergonomic, flow-oriented workflow. Cut stock is brought to the machine's left side via a Polar stack lift LW 1000-4, which raises palletised material to a comfortable working height without requiring the unit to be anchored to the floor. The stack lift, built in 2000, accommodates platforms of 800 × 1,260 mm and features infinitely adjustable retro-reflective sensors for automatic raising and lowering. It can also be used for stacking finished cut material and is fitted with an adjustable stacking aid.
From the stack lift, material is loaded into an automatic vibrating machine, the RA-4, built in 2003. This unit jogs the stack using air to align sheets precisely before cutting. The vibrating table is finished in stainless steel and measures 900 × 1,150 mm. It accepts stack heights between 30 mm and 165 mm, with a table height adjustable between 860 and 950 mm. A wiping roller expels air from the stack at the end of the jogging cycle, and material can be spread one or two times, with the pressure of the first spread being adjustable. An inclined table configuration allows intermediate spreading. Compressed air consumption is approximately 2 litres per minute at 6 to 8 bar. From the vibrator, material passes via a transfer table element onto the front table of the cutting machine.
On the output side, the system includes a Polar Transomat 1 ER 130-4, built in 2002 and described as having been overhauled. This unloading unit places both split and undivided layers automatically onto pallets while simultaneously re-jogging them, using a patented movable pallet tip to achieve particularly high edge accuracy. The Transomat enables stacking to take place concurrently with cutting, which the manufacturer states can reduce production costs by 25 to 70 percent depending on the cutting programme. Automatic format setting is included, with format selection handled fully automatically via sensor, and the unit comes with a complete protective housing.
Also included is a Polar Mohr counting scale for platforms, described as a sheet scale used to create precise cutting positions. The system was set up in 2005 and is being offered as a complete, integrated cutting and handling line.
