Graphtec GB to demo latest cutting solutions

Graphtec GB will use SignLink Live to demonstrate its upgraded cutting solutions. This includes the latest FCX2000 series of flatbed machines, the renamed F-Mark combined automatic digital die-cutting and sheet-feeding system, and an upgraded FC8600 series of cutters.

The FC8600 now incorporates version 6 of Graphtec’s proprietary ARMS (Automatic Registration Mark Sensing) system and the ISM (Intelligent Scan Mode) function and is supplied with the latest Graphtec Pro Studio software based on the FlexiSign family of design and production software from SAi. The FC8600 has a maximum cutting speed of 1,485mm/sec and a cutting force of 600gf. The renamed CE6000 Plus series of cutters promises increased levels of productivity. Top cutting speed on the CE6000 Plus 120 is 1,000mm/sec. Noteworthy design features of the latest FCX2000 series of flatbed cutters include a specially configured cutting head incorporating two tool holders, the first of which holds a knife and the second a creasing tool to enable a dual cutting and creasing function. A USB port enables offline operation and files to be saved and retrieved remotely as well as a barcode function that enables printed barcode and the relevant cutting data to be recalled from memory and cut. The cutters also incorporate the latest version 6 of Graphtec’s ARMS facility. The renamed F-Mark combined automatic sheet feeder and digital die cutter is based on the Graphtec CE6000-40 cutter. The machine is available in a choice of three sizes (920 x 610, 920 x 1,200 and 920 x 1,800mm). There is also the option of either a vacuum suction or electrostatic material hold-down facility.
