User-friendly 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.
Six commonly used function
controls including: instantaneous hold (pause), cutting/plotting
conditions, axis alignment, copy, test cut, and
new origin are directly accessible on the control panel for added user-efficiency.
The pressure-sensitive dual-speed
position keys enable expeditious tool positioning with high accuracy.
8 user-programmable settings facilitate frequent switching among application
specific plotter setups and material selection. Each setting can be
programmed with the specific type of tool (blade, pen, pounce tool or LED
beam), cutting/plotting speed, acceleration, force, tangential control and
distance compensation required for a specific application. These settings
provide the user with an instaneous recall of pre-programmed setup
conditions for varying job requirements, further increasing job efficiency
and productivity. |
|
Variety of applications... |

Vinyl Cut
Pounce
Pen Plot
The unsurpassed versatility of
the new FC5100 series is further augmented with its capability to plot, cut
and pounce without having to alter the plotter's mechanical configuration.
To configure the FC5100 for any job-specific setup among test plotting,
cutting or pouncing paper stencil, simply install the specific tool required
for the next job and select one of the eight user-programmable settings that
corresponds to the type of tool (as well as any other pertinent job
requirements).
Note: Pouncing operation
requires purchase of optional pouncing tool.

Tool Soft
Landing Intelligence |
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 FC 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 the benefit
of cost-saving tool maintenance as well.

Sophisticated
tangential control algorithms |
|
When the Tangential
control mode is engaged, the FC5100 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 FC5100 series to cut text strings as
small as 1/16" on vinyl. No cutter/plotter on the market can match the
FC5100 Series' unsurpassed precision and built-in intelligence. |
|
Enhanced
mechancial integrity for quality and performance |
The all-new mechanical design
incorporated in the chassis and electro-mechanical components further
improve the FC5100'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 FC5100 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.

Connectivity and Software... |
The FC5100 supports tri-port
connectivity with serial, parallel and USB interface ports, providing
compatibility with virtually any computer configuration. The standard
package includes:
-
A Windows driver
compatible with Windows®
98, ME, 2000, and XP; supporting serial, parallel and USB port
connectivity
- Adobe®
Illustrator®
Cutting Master™
plug-in software*
compatible with Windows®
98, ME, 2000, XP or MAC®
OS 8, 9, 10(X); supporting USB connectivity
* Cutting Master was not
yet available when the FC5100 series was originally introduced. If you were
not supplied with this software and would like to obtain a copy, you may
purchase it for a nominal fee. Please contact
customer service
(888.447.2748) and have your product serial number available. Depending on
the date of purchase, you may qualify for a free copy. |

Accuload media supply/alignment
system... |
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 FC5100 series 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 before! |
|
Optional Features... |
-
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.
-
Media basket
An optional media basket is available for all new FC5100 series to
facilitate 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.
-
Registration mark
sensor
For die/contour cutting of digitally produced images, the registration
mark sensor detects the registration marks printed alongside such images
to automatically align them to the plotter's internal coordinate system.
It also compensates for the material expansion/contraction that is often
experienced in post-imaging processes, like lamination.
-
Second penholder
Benefiting those user's who frequently switch between test plotting and
cutting operations, the second pen holder eliminates the need for manual
replacement of tools/pens
