Advice for a small hydrolic cutter

We are currently operating a refurbished IDEAL 5250 cutter (electrical clamp and cutting)
The job is done but without a programming device and with a wheel ajusting cut it can sometimes be a real pain operate when we deal with small cut (like small cards)

Whatever, we are considering the option to move on and invest in something more reliable.
We are looking for something that will deal without any problem with 26'' sized cuts, that will be programmable and will be sharp.

So far we have underlined 3 machines :
BAUMFOLDER 26,4 cutter
CHALLENGE Titan 265 cutter
POLAR 66 cutter

Of course the POLAR should be the one but I assume it will be far more expensive than the two others.

We had proposal for the BAUMFOLDER and the CHALLENGE around 20k$ and i don't have any clue of the price of the POLAR.

What would be your advice here or your feedback on these machines.

Thanks a lot for all your help.

Have you considered an Ideal Hydraulic cutter? I am personally a big fan of Triumph (made by Ideal) stack cutters. You already own a non-hydraulic model. Do you like the quality of the cutter? If so, you may want to consider these:

Triumph 5550-EP

Triumph 5551EP

Triumph 721LT

 

Regarding the Titan 265, look at the XG 305 model instead.

 

EBA, is a good solution. Itotek is a good solution. Nagai is a good solution. Polar is a bad solution (electrical problems)
