MBM Triumph 5222 Digicut Programmable Hydraulic Cutter Review
MBM Triumph paper cutters set the standard for safety and precision. Their 5222 Digicut Programmable Hydraulic Cutter follows this pattern in delivering a safe and accurate cutting machine. This high quality device is fully programmable and offers state of the art cutting abilities. Here is a closer look at the details of the 5222.
Strengths:
- As with every Triumph cutter, the Safety Cutting System is standard. This includes features such as automatic clamp return, a disk brake for the blade, and two handed operation. Both the cutting sticks and the blade can be changed and adjusted without removing the machine’s covers. This results in the sharp edge staying safely concealed. These along with other features help ensure injury free operation.
- The programmable system allows up to 99 jobs to be stored, each with up to nine repeat cuts. This is especially crucial in high production environments where time is of the essence; time is saved by not repeatedly entering the same measurements. A digital readout in either centimeters or inches displays the exact size of paper about to be cut while an optical cutting line provides a visual reference.
- Hydraulic controls allows specialty stocks to be processed without marks or indentations. The adjustable pressure on the clamp is excellent for dealing with a variety of materials and the false clamp cushions paper that is highly sensitive to pressure or markings. A guide on both sides helps to provide even pressure throughout the length of the knife and is variable between 440 and 2420 psi, ideal for digital printing.
- The blade is forged out of solid Solingen steel, a high quality German material. The accompanying steel blade carriers and adjustable blade guides add to the sturdiness of this device. Together with all metal construction, these strong components create a cutter that is likely to last well beyond the one year warranty.
- Paper sliced can be as wide as 20.5 inches and stacked as high as 3-1/8 inches. This allows an entire ream of paper to be sliced at once. Strips can be cut as narrow as 7/8″ without the false clamp, 3.5″ with. Behind the blade is an extra 20-3/8″ of available workspace with 16″ in front.
Weaknesses:
- This electronic device offers highly specialized measurements. But the pressure available isn’t ideal for all stocks. While most businesses will find this adequate, some may require a stronger grasp. For this we suggest the 5551-06EP, which has a range of 1900-3800 psi.
- Weighing in at 900 pounds, this is a very large piece of machinery. There are casters on the bottom for easier mobility. However, the sheer size of the unit prevents comfortable use in most small offices. Be sure you have both the need and space for this size device.
The MBM Triumph is well suited to accommodate the needs of any paper company. The size and capacity of this device allow it to work well in an industrial paper business, large copy or quick print shop, or even an in-plant production company. Whatever the business may be, the outstanding craftsmanship will provide them with an efficient and convenient device that will last. We think the 5222 Digicut is an excellent addition to any office needing a heavy duty paper cutter.
