This Polar 55 EM is a guillotine — also known as a paper cutter or guillotine cutter — a machine used to make straight, precise cuts through stacks of paper and similar sheet materials. Polar is a well-established German manufacturer with a long-standing reputation in the printing and finishing industry, producing guillotines and cutting systems that are widely used in commercial print shops and binderies around the world.
This used example dates from 1988 and is located in Germany. It is equipped with EM program control, which allows cutting sequences to be stored and recalled, improving repeatability and efficiency across repeat jobs. The machine also features pressing pressure adjustment, enabling the operator to set the appropriate clamping force for different paper stocks and stack thicknesses.
The cutting width is 55 cm, and the insertion depth matches at 55 cm, giving a square cutting area well suited to standard sheet formats. The maximum insertion height is 10 cm, defining the greatest stack thickness the machine can accept in a single pass. Two knives are included with the machine, providing a spare ready for changeover when the working blade requires replacement or sharpening. A back table cover is also present, protecting the rear table surface and the material being fed into the machine.
