FCX2000 Series
Low-cost, Die-free cutting and Processing
The FCX2000 is the ultimate solution for prototyping and small production runs of rigid materials without the use of a cutting die. Reduce media waste/ processing time with Graphtec’s precision cutting and dedicated software. Added offline(USB) operation enables users of all skill levels to easily process materials.
Features
Table size in the Line-up
3 different table size with choice of vacuum suction or electrostatic media-hold down methods depending on application.
Stronger Media Hold-Down
Distance between the holes has been improved from 30 mm on FC2250 Series to 20 mm on FCX2000 Series, as a result, FCX2000 Series provides stronger suction power to hold heavier and thicker medias down.
Dual tool holder with 500 gf on tool 1 and 1,000 gf on tool 2
Provided tools suitable for many applications
- The FCX2000 series has 2 tool holder in the carriage.
- Using 2 different kind of tool allows to do a different job
- without exchanging a tool at the same time. it can increase work efficiency.
Tool Holders & Cutting/Creasing Tools
Dual Tool Holders which can hold a cutting blade and creasing tool — to produce creases/folds and cuts on the same run.
Intuitive operation with 3.7″ LCD
Onboard control and settings are simplified using the equipped 3.7” LCD (240×128 dots) and tactile control panel.
Offline operation supported by use of USB flash memory
Cut and plot data is created with Cutting Master 4 or Graphtec Pro Studio. That saved data may be transferred to a USB flash memory and the cut plot data file can be selected from the USB on the FCX2000 using its menu operations. This simplified work-flow enables users to operate without being connected to the computer.
Data management using bar-code function with USB flash memory
In Print & Cut (referred to as “P&C”) operation, the cutting data is automatically selected from USB flash memory by scanning the barcode printed on the media then performs contour cutting. This prevents the usage of incorrect data, and improves work efficiency.
Expanded Contour Cutting Area
This included function expands the print and cut area to include objects outside of the registration marks! Production efficiency is enhanced and media waste is reduced.
Supports Standard Crop Marks
Contour cutting pre-printed media is also possible using “standard crop marks.” This operation is available with the included Cutting Master 4 plug-in workflow.
Reversed Color Registration Marks
Registraiton marks are detectable when there is sufficient contrast against the mark and its background. Ultra glossy and reflective media offer challenges for accurate registration mark detection. With this reversed color output, the sufficient contrast is brought back for the ability to contour cut pre-printed ultra glossy and reflecting sheeting.
