FCX4000 Series
Suitable for the post-processing of printing on demand
Low-cost, Die-free cutting and processing.
FCX4000 series achieves high quality cutting with improving of the quality and accuracy by enhancing rigidity of the sliding mechanism and the driving system.
It is the best flatbed type cutting plotter that has a high usability and productivity equipped with new functions.
Features
Stronger Media Hold-Down
Holds media by electrostatic that is generated by electrodes arranged inside the panel. This method is suitable for cutting light weight materials.
Provided tools suitable for many applications
The FCX4000 series has 2 tool holder in the carriage. Using 2 different tools in the same job increases work efficiency.
Intuitive operation with 3.7″ LCD
Settings can be easily set using the large 3.7-inch LCD (240 x 128 dots).
Offline operation supported by use of USB flash memory
Cut and Plot data is created from the design by using Cutting Master 4 or Graphtec Pro Studio, then the data is saved to USB flash memory. The plot data file can be selected from the USB by menu operation on the plotter, then cutting is performed. This simplified work-flow enables users to operate without a computer.
Data management using bar-code function with USB flash memory
In Print & Cut 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.
