GRAPHTEC FCX4000 Series
FCX4000 Series
An affordable cutting solution for small to medium print on demand jobs - using electrostatic to hold media. The 60ES model cleanly fits four A3 + sheets for high productivity. Operation is intuitive with its new control panel, 3.7" LCD screen, and USB / barcode functionality.
[2] DIFFERENT MODEL SIZES
The effective cutting area of the 50ES model is expanded for supporting 2 sheets of A3+ size, and the 60ES model supports 4 sheets of A3+ size. It is more suitable in the use of post-processing of Print On Demand.
FCX4000-50ES
Table Size: W 42.87" x D 35.31" x H 8.03"
Effective Cutting Area: W 25.98" x H 19.21"
FCX4000-60ES
Table Size: W 55.31" x D 42.08" x H 8.03"(w/o stand)
Effective Cutting Area: W 38.4" x H 25.9"
FEATURES:
MEDIA HOLD-DOWN: Holds media by electrostatic that is generated by electrodes arranged inside the panel. This method is suitable for cutting light weight materials.
SUITABLE TOOLS FOR MANY APPLICATIONS
- The FCX4000 series has 2 tool holder in the carriage.
- Using 2 different kind of tool allows to do a different job without exchanging a tool at the same time; increasing work efficiency.
- Intuitive operation with 3.7" LCD
- The loupe is a standard accessory used to easily adjust extruded blade length with the PHP33/PHP35 blade holders.
OFFLINE OPERATION
Cut and plot data is created with Cutting Master 4 or Graphtec Pro Studio. That saved data may be transferred to a USB flash memory and the cut plot data file can be selected from the USB on the FCX4000 using its menu operations. This simplified work-flow enables users to operate without being connected to the computer.
BARCODE DATA MANAGEMENT WITH USB FLASH MEMORY
When performing contour cutting, also known as "Print & Cut," the cutting data is automatically selected from the prepared USB flash memory. The FCX4000 scans the bar code printed on the media then automatically performs the contour cutting job. This emerging method helps to prevent operator error of using incorrect data - thus improving workflow efficiency.
ENHANCED ARMS
(Advanced Registration Mark Sensing system) for improved productivity of P&C applications
- Enables higher productivity of POP, stickers, and prototype cartons.
- After data is sent the first time, it can be copied multiple times without a PC.
- The first four marks are scanned on the first sheet, and only the first mark in subsequent sheets. This improves productivity by shortening scan detection time.
REVERSE SIDE CUTTING AND CREASING METHOD
Cutting and creasing of pre-printed packaging graphics is possible on the reverse (non-printed) side of the sheet. This method of reverse side cutting and creasing prevents damage and marking of the printed side. This option is currently available using Cutting Master 4 or Graphtec Pro Studio software with the FCX4000.
EXPANDED CONTOUR CUTTING AREA
This included function expands the print and cut area to include objects outside of the registration marks! Production efficiency is enhanced and media waste is reduced.SUPPORTS STANDARD CROP MARKS
Contour cutting pre-printed media is also possible using "standard crop marks." This operation is available with the included Cutting Master 4 plug-in workflow.
REVERSED COLOR REGISTRATION MARKS
Registration marks are detectable when there is sufficient contrast against the mark and its background. Ultra glossy and reflective media offer challenges for accurate registration mark detection. With this reversed color output, the sufficient contrast is brought back for the ability to contour cut pre-printed ultra glossy and reflecting sheeting.
