Plotters - CE5000 Series
 CE5000 series of plotters for vinyl cuttingDownload the CE5000 Series Data Sheet
The new Graphtec CE5000-60 (24") and CE5000-120 (48") engineering class cutting plotters update the extremely successful CE3000Mk2 series with improved features, as well as a cleaner, "greener" electronic design and manufacturing process to minimize the environmental impact of the equipment throughout its life cycle.

On the job, the CE5000 series offers real cost/performance advantages over other of cutting plotters. With faster cutting speeds and higher cutting force, you'll have the flexibility to handle a wider range of material. The USB 2.0 high speed data interface or RS232C Serial Port ensures a reliable connection to the computer, either on a Mac or Windows PC. The CE5000 comes with ROBO Master Pro design software (Windows 2000/XP) and the completely new Cutting Master 2 Production Manager and Plug-in for the latest versions of CorelDRAW including X3, and Illustrator 8 thru CS2 on Windows 2000/XP, and ver. 10 through CS2 on Mac OS X on PowerPC and Intel Core processors.

The CE5000-60 (24") delivers a maximum cutting force of 300 grams and a maximum speed of 24 inches per second (in all directions.) The CE5000-120 (48") features a cutting force up to 450 grams, and a maximum cutting speed of 40 inches per second (45 degree angle.)

The built-in front control panel provides complete parameter control including eight preset cutting conditions, as well as advanced features like tangential control mode, down force offset, pen up speed, blade wear monitoring and more. With a 25 pin RS-232C or the High Speed USB 2.0 control interface, the CE5000 is compatible with legacy computer systems as well as the latest PCs available now and for several years to come.

    The Advanced Auto-registration mark sensor is included as a standard feature for all FC7000 models.

    The RMS system detects the registration marks printed alongside digitally produced images to automatically align preprinted images to the internal coordinate system and even compensate for material expansion/contraction. The RMS system's user interface has also been enhanced, making it extremely user-friendly and accurate. These intelligent features assure users of unsurpassed accuracy and consistently reliable operation for the most intricate die/contour cutting applications.
    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 FC7000 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 also the benefit of cost-saving tool maintenance.
    INDUSTRY-LEADING CUTTING SPEEDS

    Featuring maximum programmable cutting speeds of 58.5 ips, 4.0G maximum acceleration and 20 to 600g cutting force, the FC7000 series accommodates the most demanding cutting and plotting projects, while providing users with the versatility they need for a wide variety of applications.
    With the world's fastest throughput performance and superb accuracy, the new FC7000 performs highly intricate cutting as small as 1/16" high text on vinyl. The innovative technology incorporated in this series helps users accomplish numerous applications in a limited timeframe, thereby increasing their overall profit.

    The FC4200 Series are intermediate-format flatbed cutting plotters capable of processing various material with an accuracy compliant with most industry requirements. With its maximum cutting force of 600g, the FC4200 provides ideal economic solutions for cutting thick, hard materials that cannot be processed with a friction-feed cutting plotter.

    The FC4200 Series is the ideal table/bench-top cutting plotter for high-precision and medium-heavy material crafting jobs and is suitable for cutting intricate designs on vinyl, photo-masking films, foam material, cardboard, oil board, and sandblast resist rubber. With its capability to hold both a cutting blade and a plotting pen simultaneously, the FC4200 allows garment/shoe pattern designers to mark and cut the material without manually replacing the marking/cutting tools. The FC4200 has a standard registration mark detection sensor, enabling quick and easy realignment of separately imaged material for die cutting.

    600g cutting force ensures accurate cutting of think, hard materials:
    Sandblast rubber for masonry and sign templates
    Thick, stiff card for shoe-making CAD applications
    Stencil card for spray-painting

    Flatbed configuration cuts media that you can't process with a friction-feed cutting plotter:
