This Polar ECO 80 is a guillotine — a precision cutting machine used to trim and square stacks of paper, board, and similar sheet materials in print finishing and bindery operations. Also commonly referred to as a paper cutter or stack cutter, the guillotine is a fundamental piece of equipment wherever large volumes of printed or unprinted stock need to be cut to accurate dimensions. Polar is a well-established German manufacturer with a long-standing reputation for building high-quality guillotines and cutting systems for the printing and graphic arts industries.
This example was manufactured in 2012 and is currently located in Germany. It features a cutting width of 800 mm and an insertion depth of 800 mm, making it suitable for handling a wide range of sheet sizes. The maximum insert height — the thickness of the stack that can be loaded and cut in a single pass — is 100 mm, allowing for productive batch cutting. The machine is equipped with a hydraulic drive and a stainless steel air table, which facilitates smooth and easy positioning of heavy paper stacks during operation.
Control is handled through an ergonomically arranged control panel incorporating a 5.5-inch monochrome display and a flat-membrane input keyboard. The interface is designed for straightforward, uncomplicated operation, keeping operator training requirements to a minimum. The machine supports up to 198 programmable memory locations, into which recurring cutting sequences can be stored and recalled as needed, with the ability to adjust any stored programme at any time. Cutting precision is supported by a robust mechanical design combined with direct dimensional take-off, ensuring consistent and accurate results across production runs.
