Graphtec has announced the introduction of a new series of cutting plotters—CE7000, which replaces the CE6000 series and provides radically enhanced performance capabilities but at a competitive price point and with new and larger size options. With a cutting performance that equates to the flagship Graphtec FC8600 series of machines, the new CE7000 is available in a choice of four sizes (40, 60,130 replacing the CE6000-120 and the new and largest160cm models). These provide respective media cutting widths of 484, 712, 1,372 and 1,626mm, with a maximum cutting speed of up to 1,000mm/sec on the 130 and 160 machine options and a maximum cutting force of 450g.
The newly launched CE7000 series also feature the latest Version 8 of Graphtec’s proprietary ARMS (Advanced Registration Mark Sensing) system for reliable long-length (up to five meters) tracking and optimum cutting accuracy. Key design features of the cutter include a digital servo drive system and graphic backlit LCD control panel, together with a range of standard and optional accessories. The cutter is suitable for handling flexible and semi-rigid materials, including self-adhesive vinyl, heat transfer, paper and card formats.
