Details & specifications
Triumph 5560 Hydraulic Paper Cutter (21.6")
The MBM Triumph 5560 is a 21-5/8" hydraulic guillotine paper cutter built by Krug & Priester in Balingen, Germany, the manufacturer behind the Triumph and IDEAL cutting lines, and distributed in the U.S. by MBM Corporation. A hydraulic clamp and hydraulic knife drive deliver adjustable clamping force from 1,900 to 3,800 psi, while the VRCUT-ready programmable control stores 99 jobs with up to 99 steps each for repeatable production cutting. With a 3.75" clamp opening, an infrared safety curtain, and all-metal construction, the 5560 is the mid-size workhorse of the Triumph hydraulic family for print shops, in-plant production, and commercial finishing departments. Mid-State Litho is an authorized MBM dealer and sells the Triumph 5560 with free freight delivery, financing options, and Michigan-based service and knife sharpening for shops across the Great Lakes region.
Key Features
- Swing Cut blade made from high-speed German steel for clean, precise cuts
- IR safety curtain stops operation if objects enter the cutting zone
- Programmable controller with 99 jobs and up to 99 steps per job
- Adjustable hydraulic clamping from 1,900-3,800 psi for secure material hold
- LED optical cut line for accurate alignment and repeatability
- Electronic hand wheel with infinitely variable speed for fine back gauge positioning
- EASY CUT activation bars with two-hand operation and independent clamp/blade control
- All-metal construction with steel frame, stainless work surface, and solid blade carrier
- Self-diagnostics and digital touchpad for error display and fast job recall
Why It Matters
In high-volume production, inconsistent clamping and manual positioning lead to waste and downtime. The Triumph 5560 combines programmable positioning with hydraulic power to deliver reliable, repeatable cuts while maintaining strong safety protections for daily operation.
Triumph 5560 vs 5560 Package vs 5560 LT
This page covers the Triumph 5560 hydraulic cutter in two configurations. The Standard build is the machine alone. The Package option adds side tables, an extra knife, and cutting sticks, a sensible bundle if you are setting up a new cutting department and want spares on the shelf from day one.
The Triumph 5560 LT is a separate machine with its own listing: it pairs the same 21-5/8" hydraulic cutter with a VRCUT air table for fully programmable, air-assisted stock handling. If your work is dominated by long programmed runs of heavy stock, look at the LT. If you need hydraulic power and programmable accuracy without the air table, the 5560 on this page is the right fit.
