GRAPHTEC FCX 2000-60VC

Flatbed cutter size of 61 x 92 cm

The GRAPHTEC FCX 2000-60VC flatbed is designed for the cutting of vinyl, paper, cards, magnets, cardboard and flexible to semi-rigid plastics. Its maximum cutting size is 61 x 92 cm.

Other models are available: the FCX 2000-120VC size 120 x 92 cm, and the FCX 2000-180VC format 180 x 92 cm.

Vacuum table:
Unlike a plotter, the media to be cut is fixed to the table by suction: no transport sheet or glued media is needed. The cutting is done in full flesh, without residues of material.

Dual tool holder:
Two tools can be mounted at the same time on the machine. It is possible to mount a cutting tool and a slotting tool at the same time to perform the cutting and wrinkle marking operations without changing the tools. A tracing tip can be used to draw a mock-up and control the trace before actual cutting.

The tool allows creating lines for bending the material. The number and spacing of the lines can be defined according to the media to be folded.

ARMS 6.0 system for even more precise contour-cut:
The integrated ARMS (Advanced Registration Mark Sensing system) on the cutting head makes it easy to cut the contours of pre-printed images on a printer and significantly improves the overall production of labels or stickers. The Landmark Detection process allows, if a reading error occurs, to simply restart the automatic detection again.

4-point alignment (two-axis correction):
Auto-scanning of four point registration marks compensate for distortion in both X & Y directions to ensure precise cutting. This technique allows more accurate detection and improves the reliability and quality of the cutting contour after printing.

Cutting/ Side groove thanks to the ARMS 6.0:
Cutting and grooving are possible even on the back of the printed media. This prevents any scratching or alteration of the print. On the FCX 2000 series, operation is simple with Cutting Master 4 or Graphtec Pro Studio.

Cutting of thick material:
The tool’s height control system detects the position of the blade tip on the material, and then intelligently and accurately aligns the blade rotation for subsequent cutting operations. This adjustment makes it possible to work with thick materials such as corrugated cardboard. Tangential control manages the orientation and cycle of lifting/lowering the blade into the material faster than motorized rotation systems. The blade is less often removed from the material to carry out its orientation. The FCX 2000-60VC allows perfect cutting and high productivity on thick materials.

Multi-page:
The FCX 2000-60VC detects each group of markers for continuous contour-cut when multiple copies of a page are made on the print media. This function decreases manipulations and thus increases productivity.

High precision machine:
Graphtec’s technology completely eliminates deformed, rounded or pointed angles, even if the model is very complicated, on a 0.025 mm vinyl or a 1,25 mm sandblast mask. This high precision allows FCX 2000 tables to cut 1.58 mm characters on vinyl.

Compatibility with creative software/Cutting-Master 4:
This plug-in allows you to send cutting data directly from Illustrator or CorelDraw and to control the tracer. The plug-in also allows you to create registration marks and manage multicopies, dimensions, cutting conditions and many other parameters. Easy to use, it allows you to get the best performance from your tracer.
