Massicot

Developed on the basis of lever shears(pl) old with arm, the current professional massicots are machines intended for the cut with right angle of paper and also of other materials, as e.g. of metal sheets etc These machines work above all in the sector printing works (preparation of sheets to be printed/shaping of printed). The currently available models on the market offer a vast range of possibilities of application. While the smaller models of an opening going of 66 cm and more can be used e.g. in integrated printing works or companies having to make with smaller formats, there are also larger massicots of an opening going up to 200 cm often working in complex inter-connected systems.

The modern massicots are often provided with a software highly sophisticated making it possible to integrate them in systems inter-connected under network. They, in general, are equipped with improved security systems, such as the release of the cut by the simultaneous actuation of the two hands of buttons of cut, an optical grid of safety and other devices of setting except emergency circuit. There exist also massicots with several blades, returning the cutting of certain work easier, like the trilateral massicot for the books.

Origin

The “massicot” owes its name with Guillaume Massicot (1797-1870), French mechanic who developed this machine to cut paper in 1840.
