Free Media Basket

For a limited time, Graphtec is offering a free media basket with any FC7000 series purchase!* The media basket facilitates dust-free cutting/plotting operations and enhanced media tracking for long, continuous project applications. The collapsible front and rear baskets keep the media off the shop floor to prevent dust and residue from accumulating on the output material. This feature is ideal when unevenness and/or obstacles are observed in the media pass (on the floor) that can potentially affect the plotter's tracking performance.

 * Offer valid for purchases made between July 18 thru October 14, 2005. Allow 4-6 weeks for delievery.

The Advanced Auto-registration mark sensor is included as a standard feature for all FC7000 models.

The RMS system detects the registration marks printed alongside digitally produced images to automatically align preprinted images to the internal coordinate system and even compensate for material expansion/contraction. The RMS system's user interface has also been enhanced, making it extremely user-friendly and accurate. These intelligent features assure users of unsurpassed accuracy and consistently reliable operation for the most intricate die/contour cutting applications.

Improved cutting/plotting quality and prolonged tool life are just a few of the outstanding standard features you can expect from the FC7000 series, made possible by the innovative Tool Soft Landing Intelligence. The Graphtec proprietary closed-loop servo actuator, with an integrated precision sensor, ensures quick, precise, yet gentle tool contact with the material surface during up and down motions. In addition to superior and accurate output, the Soft Landing feature prolongs the life of the cutting/plotting tool and maximizes throughput performance.

The innovative Tool Soft Landing Intelligence provides not only consistent and optimum cutting quality throughout the job, but also the benefit of cost-saving tool maintenance.

The Accuload™ Media Supply System integrates a media-aligning guide to assist both new and experienced users in loading and aligning the media accurately for assured tracking performance. It allows effortless loading of media from tightly wound fresh roll, manually rewound loose roll, or cut-sheet form. The new Accuload™ for the FC7000 series also incorporates a cross cutting groove for enhanced user-friendliness. The convenient cross cutting groove provides a simple solution for obtaining a straight sheet cut-off of your finished job, making it easier than ever!

PLUG-IN SOFTWARE INTEGRATES WITH POPULAR GRAPHIC/ILLUSTRATION SOFTWARE
Cutting Master^TM plug-in software is included with the FC7000 series and facilitates output of designs directly from Adobe Illustrator®, making it easy to integrate an economical sign-making system. The standard Automatic Registration Mark Sensor system is included for precision contour/die cutting of digitally printed images.

EASY TO USE CONTROL PANEL The user-friendly control panel comes standard with a large 20-digit x 4-line LCD information display and icon-labeled comprehensive controls, providing effortless operation and simple navigation of various setup menus. The oversized LCD allows users to quickly glance at all operational conditions including equipment status, speed, force, quality (acceleration) and type of tool with pre-programmed offset value.

When the Tangential Control mode is engaged, the FC7000 over-cuts the mechanical tangential system both in speed and output quality by precisely and intelligently controlling the blade rotation. The on-board tool height sensor detects the blade tip's landing on the media surface, then intelligently and precisely aligns the blade rotation for the following cutting operation, all in a fraction of a microsecond.

Graphtec's proprietary technology allows this sophisticated feature to completely eliminate distorted, rounded, or lifted corners - even when highly intricate design cutting is required on 2 mil. vinyl film or up to 50 mil. sandblast rubber. This innovative and high precision system architecture is what enables the FC7000 to cut text strings as small as 1/16" on vinyl. There is no other cutter/plotter on the market that can match the FC7000 series' unsurpassed precision and built-in intelligence.

The all-new mechanical design incorporated in the chassis and electro-mechanical components further improve the FC7000's structural integrity, resulting in high-quality output, unsurpassed reliability, and media tracking performance.

Engage the SmartFeed™ auto material pre-feed function to further enhance the FC7000 series' tracking capability for long-length and repetitive cutting/plotting operations. Built-in SmartFeed™ intelligence automatically unwinds the media roll and pre-feeds it for a user-programmable length as the plotting data extends beyond the prepared area.

• Stand Integrated Media Racks
  Maintain up to 3 extra full-length rolls conveniently at the foot of your plotter. The media rack option enhances job efficiency and productivity by allowing you to quickly switch between media rolls or directly feed material from the rack. Each optional rack holds one full-length roll of media for easy, quick roll exchange and allows you to switch between media color, type, and size with minimal effort.
