GRAPHTEC 15" Wide Automatic Sheet Cutter

The Graphtec Automatic Sheet Cutter is designed to automatically feed and contour cut media size up to 13" x 19" without the need for an operator. An arm with air suction cups lifts the media from the supply tray and places it in the cutter. Included software and CCD camera accurately align media for contour / perforation cutting of pre-printed graphics - efficiently freeing up labor to work on other tasks. Once completed, each sheet neatly falls into the catch tray. Additional sheets of the same design can be loaded during cutting without resending the job from a computer, further enhancing productivity.

It can handle up to 200 sheets (depend on the thickness) of media in a continuous cycle but with the ability to add further sheets as required without interrupting the cutting process. This is a capability that we consider sets the Graphtec Automatic Sheet Cutter apart from any comparable sheet-fed system.

450 grams of down force enable users to produce small and medium size runs of: labels, business cards, heat transfer apparel, and more. Using Adobe Illustrator and CorelDraw EPS file types, simply add registration marks to your design and import to the iMark software for fast, high quality results.

GRAPHTEC 15
The Graphtec Automatic Sheet Cutter is designed to automatically feed and contour cut media size up to 13" x 19" without the need for an operator. Equipped with precision iMark CCD camera technology the CCD camera allows for quick reading of crop marks with a precision grade of 0.2 mm.

It can handle up to 200 sheets (depend on the thickness) of media in a continuous cycle but with the ability to add further sheets as required without interrupting the cutting process. This is a capability that we consider sets the Graphtec Automatic Sheet Cutter apart from any comparable sheet-fed system.

 

DEDICATED SOFTWARE CONTROLS THE AUTO SHEET FEEDING SYSTEM AND TRANSFERS CONTOUR CUTTING DATA TO THE PLOTTER

The system includes dedicated application software. After media is loaded, the camera quickly detects 2-point reference marks and corrects alignment before contour cutting data is transferred, giving you the perfect cut every time.

The software configures cutting conditions such as number of copies, cutting force, cutting speed, offset, and number of paths, and it can import Adobe Illustrator or CorelDRAW EPS files as the contour data.

* Designs created with any version of Illustrator or CorelDRAW need to be saved or exported in the specified format.

 

The software controls the action of supplying the media to the plotter and adjusts position of contour cutting to the printed image using reader reference marks with the fixed camera. It also sets the cutting condition on the plotter.

 

CONTOUR CUTTING DATA FILE

The contour cutting data file contains only the contour cutting object and reference marks, it is saved in the specified format.

Illustrator: save as the Ai in Illustrator 8 or EPS in Illustrator 8

CorelDRAW: export in the EPA format

 

ALIGNING AND COMPENSATING OF CONTOUR

The contour cutting position is adjusted within the ASC software using reference marks detected by the camera. It can also adjust the position of contour by setting the parameters to the distorted printing in the printing process.
