High
quality results demand the
highest-quality product available.
Efficient, durable, and amazingly
accurate, the new FC7000 series goes
beyond any cutter currently on the
market in terms of value and return
on your investment. We've upgraded
this series significantly from its
popular FC5100A predecessor, while
still providing our customers with
competitive pricing.
The new FC7000 series includes
more benefits to users than ever
before. All models now include a
standard floor stand and feature an
advanced automatic registration mark
sensor system for contour cutting
printed images. We've increased our
cutting speeds to help users reduce
their project turn-around time. Sign
makers, auto-aftermarket
professionals, graphic artists, and
other users can take on a wider
range of projects thanks to
increased cutting force for
processing thicker, harder materials
like sandblast or diamond grade
reflective films. We've also built
the new FC-series wider, increasing
the maximum loadable material width
to particularly benefit those
operating a print and cut system,
where the printer width might
normally exceed the cutter width.
The new FC7000 series comes in 4
model sizes of 30", 42", 54", 64"
and accepts material widths of up to
36", 48", 60", and 72" for each
model, respectively. In addition, a
wealth of new features have been
added for increased productivity,
versatility, and ease-of-use. The
FC7000 is the only logical choice
for those seeking a
professional-level cutting system
designed for speed, versatility, and
ultimate precision.

The most
advanced and sophisticated
multi-functional cutting plotter
technology for plotting, cutting and
pouncing applications is available
in 30", 42", 54" and 64" widths,
with maximum compatible media widths
of 36", 48", 60", and 72"
respectively. The FC7000 series is
ideal for anyone involved in post
digital imaging processes such as
die/contour cutting.
ADVANCED
AUTO-REGISTRATION MARK SENSOR
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.
SMOOTH AND ACCURATE CUTTING/PLOTTING
WITH PROLONGED TOOL LIFE
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.
INDUSTRY-LEADING CUTTING SPEEDS
Featuring maximum
programmable cutting speeds of
58.5 ips, 4.0G maximum
acceleration and 20 to 600g
cutting force, the FC7000 series
accommodates the most demanding
cutting and plotting projects,
while providing users with the
versatility they need for a wide
variety of applications.
With the world's fastest
throughput performance and
superb accuracy, the new FC7000
performs highly intricate
cutting as small as 1/16" high
text on vinyl. The innovative
technology incorporated in this
series helps users accomplish
numerous applications in a
limited timeframe, thereby
increasing their overall profit.
NEW, SIMPLIFIED MEDIA SUPPLY
MECHANISM DESIGN
The new, more effective
media supply mechanism assists
users when loading and aligning
the media accurately, also
ensuring accurate tracking with
long-length runs. This feature
also prevents media from
accidentally feeding out of the
roll during a cutting operation,
saving operator frustration and
increasing overall productivity.
SOPHISTICATED
TANGENTIAL EMULATION OVERCUTS
THE OLD-FASHIONED MECHANCAL
TANGENTIAL SYSTEMS
When the Tangential Control
mode is engaged, the FC7000
out-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.
