Guillotine Market: Introduction
- A guillotine is a machine tool used for sheet metal cutting. It is also called a squaring shear or power shear. A piece of work is set in a machine tool and then it is cut into the die below by pressing a knife through the piece of work. Guillotines are designed to be used regularly in large volumes. They can cut large stacks of paper. Unlike several other processes, shearing does not involve use of a rotating tool piece. Instead, squaring shear works like a pair of scissors, which means a blade presses against the shear by using a large amount of force. There are some methods, such as slicing at an angle, to reduce the strength required to cut. Several metals and metal alloys, such as copper, brass, bronze, and stainless steel, are well suited for use in shearing. Therefore, the guillotine market is expected to witness huge surge during the forecast period.
Key Drivers and Opportunities of the Global Guillotine Market
- A wide range of guillotines or paper cutters are available in the market at present. These range from small, inexpensive, manual devices for personal or classroom use to large, electronic, commercial print finishing and production environment machines. Thus, the guillotine market is expected to expand during the forecast period.
- A guillotine can cut a large number of documents at the same time and at a low cost. Furthermore, rising demand for fully automated guillotines is driving the market, as they allow cutting of large quantities of paper. These cutters have both a clamp and a blade that are fully powered. They are used more by commercial operators such as printers, print finishers, publishing houses, and other businesses dealing with thousands of paper sheets every day.
- A model layout is mounted on a sliding shuttle connected to a rail by using a wheel-shaped knife. This paper cutter is referred to as rotary paper cutter. Benefits of this design include ability to make wavy cuts and perforations and to score the paper without cutting, simply by moving different kinds of circular blades. This factor is expected to drive the market for guillotines during the forecast period.
- However, failure to change the blade can cause damage to the cutter. Most production guillotines have shear pins that can break before any major damage. This may restrict the global guillotine market in the near future.
North America and Europe to Hold Major Share of the Global Guillotine Market
- In terms of region, the guillotine market can be divided into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa, and South America.
- North America is expected to lead the global guillotine market during the forecast period, due to presence of a large number of manufacturers of guillotines and ongoing technological innovations in the region. Furthermore, Europe is expected to witness increase in demand for advanced paper cutting technologies. This, in turn, is expected to drive the market in the region during the forecast period.
