ARMS Advanced Registration Mark Sensing System
The
powerful ARMS (Advanced Registration Mark Sensing System) feature
simplifies contour cutting of printed images as well as
significantly improving overall productivity for contour cutting
items such as labels or stickers.
ARMS includes several automatic registration mark sensing that makes it even easier to read the registration marks (position alignment marks) along with several types of patterns such as the Segment Area Correction that ensures accurate cutting along the entire length of even large and long-format drawings.
Four-point
registration mark (two-axis skew) correction
Four-point registration mark sensing and X/Y-axis correction uses high-precision positioning to ensure accurate cutting of graphics that have been skewed or distorted during printed.
Segment area correction
The intermediate registration marks in the
media feed direction are detected to allow four-point correction
for each individual segment area. This enables high-precision
positioning of the whole area of skewed prints produced using
long-length printing.
Multiple registration mark correction
Layout
instructions are sent together with the cutting data for designs
printed using layout functions such as set in a RIP, enabling
continuous detection of registration marks for cutting. This
feature is excellent when high accuracy is needed when cutting
an array of copies.
Automatic registration mark detection
The first registration mark is detected
automatically, eliminating the need to move the sensor to the
registration mark manually. Subsequent registration marks are
automatically redetected even if sensing errors occur,
simplifying the process of registration mark sensing.
Supports registration mark commands
Registration mark commands are provided to
control ARMS functions from a PC. Registration mark data
including size and spacing can be controlled to simplify
operations.
The
ARMS head minimizes environmental influences that could
otherwise cause incorrect readings of registration mark sensing.New functions for better productivity
ARMS is just one of the great technologies integrated in FC7000Mk2 ...
other standard features are included to increase
your productivity.
Automatic cross cutter
The automatic cross cutter provides a simple solution for obtaining a straight sheet cut-off of your finished job. Choose from a standard or heavy-duty cutter.
Light pointer
The light pointer provides an alternative to the automatic ARMS system, allowing users to manually detect registration marks. This feature is especially useful when working with highly reflective material as well as tracing cut jobs for proofing prior to cutting the job.
Variable push roller pressure
Depending on the media type being used, the
FC7000Mk2 allows users to choose from 2 selectable push roller
settings for optimum media feeding performance.
Bi-directional media loading
For the ultimate convenience and versatility. Users now have the capability to load media from either the front or back of the FC7000Mk2, depending location and convenience of the plotter.
New design for easier operation
The FC7000Mk2 is designed with user-friendly features such as easy-to-use menu navigation.
Blade length navigator
The new blade length navigator provides the user the control of obtaining optimum blade length extension for their selected material thickness. This feature also virtually eliminates the chance of damaging the blade.
New media supply mechanism
The new media supply mechanism assists users to load and align the media accurately. This feature also prevents media from accidentally feeding out of the roll during a cutting operation, saving operator frustration … increasing overall productivity.
Large LCD display w/back light
A large backlit LCD display allows users to quickly glance at all cutting conditions.
Plotter Controller
This software allows direct control of a wide range of FC7000Mk2 functions from a PC, including cutting speed, cutting pressure, pen movement, and ARMS control. The ability to control various plotter settings from a PC dramatically improves work and operating efficiency.

Optional Features...
Multimedia stocker
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.
Variety of applications...
The unsurpassed versatility of the FC7000Mk2 series is further augmented with its capability to plot, cut and pounce without having to alter the plotter's mechanical configuration. To configure the FC7000Mk2 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).
The variegated material is cut.
Reflective Film, Sandblast material, EC Film, Polyester Film, Rubylith, Tint Film, Screen Printing, Car Window, Traffic Sign, Masking Stone/Glass Sign, Automobile Paint Protection, Garment Vinyl, Signage, Vehicle Graphics, Vinyl, Paper, Sticker
Sophisticated tangential control algorithms
When the Tangential Control mode is engaged, the FC7000Mk2 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 0.025 mm (1 mil ). vinyl film or up to 1.25 mm (50
mil ). sandblast rubber. This innovative and high precision
system architecture is what enables the FC7000Mk2 to cut text
strings as small as 1.58 mm (1/16 inch ) on vinyl. There is no
other cutter/plotter on the market that can match the FC7000Mk2
Series' unsurpassed precision and built-in intelligence.
Tool
Soft Landing Intelligence
Improved cutting/plotting quality and prolonged tool life are just a few of the outstanding standard features you can expect from the FC7000Mk2 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
