This Polar 176 ED is a guillotine — also commonly referred to as a paper cutter — a machine used to make precise, straight cuts through stacks of paper, card, and similar sheet materials. Polar is a highly regarded German manufacturer with a long-standing reputation for producing high-quality cutting equipment widely used in the printing and finishing industries.
This particular machine dates from 2001 and is offered used from a seller in Germany. It is presented not as a standalone unit but as a complete cutting line, meaning it comes equipped with a full suite of peripheral equipment that extends its capabilities well beyond the cutter itself.
The control interface features a colour TFT display with a 10.4-inch monitor, allowing the operator to manage cutting sequences with precision. The programmable control system supports a memory of up to 198 programs, enabling the storage of a large number of cutting jobs for efficient repeat production.
The cutting table is equipped with chrome air technology, and side air tables are also included, allowing sheets and stacks to be moved and positioned with minimal friction and effort. Light barriers are fitted as a safety measure, protecting the operator during machine operation.
The cutting line includes a Polar Lift, which facilitates the loading of paper reams or stacks onto the feed side of the machine. A Polar Jogger is included to align and square stacks before cutting, ensuring consistent results. The Polar Transomat provides automated transfer of material through the cutting process, and a Polar Unloader is present to handle the removal of cut stacks from the machine. Books and tools are also included with the machine.
