Share
Features
Best in class ability
1485mm/s maximum cutting speed, 39.2m/s2 maximum acceleration, 5.88N (600gf) maximum cutting force. The FC9000 Series offers best in class productivity and abilities with a wider range of medias from thick to thin.
Reliable long-length tracking (Automatic Take-up Roller)
It supports long-length, 15m (50ft) (Operated with Graphtec specified media and conditions.) and makes possible to cut large signs/pops with stable paper carriage and high accurate cutting quality. In addition, if Automatic Take-up Roller as option is equipped to plotter, it becomes possible to automatically wind media and improve your work efficiency.
The media is detected by the ultrasonic sensor and rolled up automatically. Corresponding Models: FC9000-140/160・Guaranteed accuracy length: 20m（Under 1.2m per job)
・Maximum diameter of winding roll: φ180mm
* Winding conditions:
- End face of roll media and end face of paper tube should be aligned.
- Width of roll media should be the same as width of paper tube at winding side.
* It cannot be winded if media is folded or overlapped inside the basket.
Auto paneling
To prevent skew of long-length cutting, this function makes possible to automatically split long-length jobs into smaller pages that are cut sequentially. It shortens feed length and enables stable cutting. It is useful for cutting with higher accuracy or beyond guaranteed long length.
Data output via USB flash memory without PC
When cutting data designed with Cutting Master 4 or Graphtec Pro Studio / Plus are saved to USB flash memory, it can be output directly to the cutting plotter by plugging in. This simplified work-flow enables users to operate without a computer.
* The USB flash memory format only supports FAT32. Please note that NTFS and exFAT are not supported.
User-friendly control panel
3.7inch LCD display and easy-to-use control panel supports 10 languages.
Improved ARMS for high precision cutting (ARMS 8.0)
The Advanced Registration Mark Sensing system delivers precise Print & Cut results by using sensors to detect registration marks and perform axis alignment. Countless efficiency boosting features improve productivity for print & cut applications such as stickers and decals.
Data Link Function (Barcode Data Management/Continuous Cutting)
By reading the Graphtec original Barcode, FC9000 automatically detects its linked data from PC or USB flash memory. This function is available regardless of which printer or RIP software is used.
* The USB flash memory format only supports FAT32. Please note that NTFS and exFAT are not supported.
Continuous Cut (Data Link function)
Barcode data management allows cutting different data sequentially by detecting the "Start Mark" of the new Barcode. Sequential Print & Cut process with roll-media is now available.
Supports colored marks / specialty media
A wide variety of media types including holographic paper and reflective sheets are now compatible due to improvements of the ARMS sensor algorithm.
* Sensor may not be able to read certain combinations of specialty media and colored marks.
Supports Adobe Illustrator "Crop Marks"
Using the plug-in software Cutting Master 4, Adobe Illustrator crop marks will be available.
Expanded Cutting Area
The expanded cutting area to include objects outside of the area enclosed by registration marks. Production efficiency is enhanced by reducing media waste.
Segment Area Compensation (XY)
This function has been implemented in addition to the current X-axis Direction Segment Area Compensation. Middle mark is now available not only for X but also Y-axis alignment.
