Graphtec announces new flagship FC9000 cutting plotter

Replacing the existing flagship FC8600 series of cutting plotters, Graphtec GB has announced the launch of the latest FC9000 series cutting plotter. The new plotter is designed to provide one of the highest performance capabilities currently available for this class of cutting plotter. It is available in a choice of four different sizes—160, 140, 100 and 75 models, which can accommodate diverse material widths. With an increased maximum cutting speed of 1,485mm/sec and a cutting force of 600gf (5.88N), this new FC9000 is considered to have set a fresh benchmark for high-end cutting involving a much wider range of sign and graphics and digital printing media in varying thicknesses.

One of the key attributes of FC9000 is its optional media take-up spool that will increase the efficiency of roll-to-roll work undertaken by digital print specialists. The plotter also incorporates the latest Version 8 of Graphtec’s proprietary ARMS (Advanced Registration Mark Sensing) system for radically enhanced media tracking and cutting accuracy. It is also supplied as standard with the latest Graphtec Pro Studio or optional Pro Studio Plus and Cutting Master 4 design and production software.
