Graphtec FC2250 Series Large Flatbed With ARMS

The FC2250 Large Format flatbed cutting plotter is available in 3 table sizes — 24"x36", 47"x36" and 68.5"x36" table sizes, with optional tool head configurations and material hold-down systems. Available with either Electrostatic material hold-down or vacuum hold-down (with optional vacuum kit). Dual Head Design features 500 grams and 1000 grams maximum down force for more efficient marking and cutting workflows. The FC2250 comes with a maximum cutting force for materials up to 0.118" (3mm) and Graphtec's ARMS (Auto Registration Mark Sensor) — the FC2250 series is the most competitive in its class.

The FC2250 large format flatbed cutting plotters are ideal for designers and prototyping in the offset printing, digital printing, packaging industry, fashion industry, as well as road sign making, stone & glass sandblasting/etching, electronic film industry, etc.

Cutting Master 2

Includes a range of software applications that improve work efficiency and simplify operations.

This plug-in software allows direct cutting from graphics applications. For higher productivity, create graphics or text in Adobe Illustrator or CorelDraw, then simply output directly to the plotter. 

Main Features

• Direct output from the software
• Output by layer / color
• Possible to check the cutting lines by preview window
• Multiple over cutting is possible
• ARMS can be controlled by software
• Centering, Rotate, Mirror for easy layout
• Matrix copy for higher productivity
• Auto-welding for binding same color of shapes
• Tiling / Paneling for segmentation of cutting

Versatile software D-Cut Master

This software reads a DXF file in the AutoCAD R13 format and then enables data display, deleting, sorting, changing of the output order, specification of output setting, and saving functions as well as creation of GP-GL plot data and output to a plotter.

Main Features

• Output in separate layers or separate colors can be specified.
• Output conditions can be selected by layer name or color.
• Supports a sorting function to minimize media movement
• The Weed Border cutting function enables automatic output of a border to facilitate weeding of the cut media.
• Any drawing exceeding the plotter’s Valid Area can be output in multiple pages using the Tiling function.
• Output conditions can be managed by media name.
• Matrix Copy function
• The Cutting Simulation function enables checking of the cut sequence, changing of the cut sequence, and tiled cutting prior to actual output.

ARMS Advanced Registration Mark Sensing system

The powerful ARMS (Advanced Registration Mark Sensing system) feature simplifies contour cutting of printed images as well as significantly improving overall productivity for contour cutting items such as labels or stickers.

The intermediate registration marks in horizontal direction are detected to allow four-point correction for each individual segment area. This enables high- precision positioning of the whole area of prints that skewed during printing process.
