Was there only one actual guillotine made for the French Revolution?

Did only one guillotine chop off everyones' heads or were there several different ones?

There was certainly more than one.

Each French city had their own guillotine, so that there was one in each departement. It was also used in countries other than France.

There is a history of the guillotine on my attached link.
