FC7000 Details Specifications

Standard Performance Features:

The Advanced Auto-registration mark sensor is included as a standard feature for all FC7000 models.

The RMS system detects the registration marks printed alongside digitally produced images to automatically align preprinted images to the internal coordinate system and even compensate for material expansion/contraction

. The RMS system's user interface has also been enhanced, making it extremely user-friendly and accurate. These intelligent features assure users of unsurpassed accuracy and consistently reliable operation for the most intricate die/contour cutting applications.

Smooth and Accurate Cutting/Plotting with Prolonged Tool Life

Improved cutting/plotting quality and prolonged tool life are just a few of the outstanding standard features you can expect from the FC7000 series, made possible by the innovative Tool Soft Landing Intelligence. The Graphtec proprietary closed-loop servo actuator, with an integrated precision sensor, ensures quick, precise, yet gentle tool contact with the material surface during up and down motions. In addition to superior and accurate output, the Soft Landing feature prolongs the life of the cutting/plotting tool and maximizes throughput performance.

The innovative Tool Soft Landing Intelligence provides not only consistent and optimum cutting quality throughout the job, but also the benefit of cost-saving tool maintenance.

Industry-Leading Cutting Speeds

Featuring maximum programmable cutting speeds of 58.5 ips, 4.0G maximum acceleration and 20 to 600g cutting force, the FC7000 series accommodates the most demanding cutting and plotting projects, while providing users with the versatility they need for a wide variety of applications.
With the world's fastest throughput performance and superb accuracy, the new FC7000 performs highly intricate cutting as small as 1/16" high text on vinyl. The innovative technology incorporated in this series helps users accomplish numerous applications in a limited timeframe, thereby increasing their overall profit.

User Friendly Features:

Integrate Your Cutter with Popular Graphic/Illustration Software

Cutting Master^TM and QuickCut plug-in software is included with the FC7000 series and facilitates output of designs directly from Adobe Illustrator® or CorelDraw®, making it easy to integrate an economical sign-making system. The standard Automatic Registration Mark System is included for precision contour/die cutting of digitally printed images.

Easy to Use Control panel

The user-friendly control panel comes standard with a large 20-digit x 4-line LCD information display and icon-labeled comprehensive controls, providing effortless operation and simple navigation of various setup menus. The oversized LCD allows users to quickly glance at all operational conditions including equipment status, speed, force, quality (acceleration) and type of tool with pre-programmed offset value.

Eight commonly used function controls including: instantaneous Hold (Pause), Cutting/plotting Conditions, Axis/RMS Alignment, View, Position, Copy, Test Cut, and New Origin are directly accessible on the control panel for added user-efficiency. The pressure-sensitive dual-speed position keys enable expeditious tool positioning with high accuracy.

8 user-programmable settings facilitate frequent switching among application specific plotter setups and material selection. Each setting can be programmed with the specific type of tool (blade, pen, pounce tool or LED beam), cutting/plotting speed, acceleration, force, tangential control and distance compensation required for a specific application. These settings provide the user with an instaneous recall of pre-programmed setup conditions for varying job requirements, further increasing job efficiency and productivity.

Sophisticated Tangentaial Emulations Overcuts the Old-Fashioned Mechanical Tangential Systems

When the Tangential Control mode is engaged, the FC7000 out-cuts the mechanical tangential system both in speed and output quality by precisely and intelligently controlling the blade rotation. The on-board tool height sensor detects the blade tip's landing on the media surface, then intelligently and precisely aligns the blade rotation for the following cutting operation, all in a fraction of a microsecond.

Graphtec's proprietary technology allows this sophisticated feature to completely eliminate distorted, rounded, or lifted corners - even when highly intricate design cutting is required on 2 mil. vinyl film or up to 50 mil. sandblast rubber. This innovative and high precision system architecture is what enables the FC7000 to cut text strings as small as 1/16" on vinyl. There is no other cutter/plotter on the market that can match the FC7000 series' unsurpassed precision and built-in intelligence.
