TurboCut
TurboCut increases throughput by speeding up the drag movement but without raising the overall speed of the
cutter. The cutting time reduction is significant, especially when cutting small, detailed designs. However, some
thicker materials may not cut well with this feature turned on.
Press the TurboCut button, then use
to cancel. TurboCut is activated by default.
Panels
There are four parameters in the Panels submenu:
Panels: This parameter switches panels on or off.
●
Panel size: This parameter determines the length of the panel.
●
Panel replot: This parameter determines whether the design is to be cut more than once, panel per panel.
●
Panel replot is used for substrates that are thick or difficult to cut. The value of this parameter is
disregarded if paneling is set to off. If this parameter is set to 0, the cutter cuts each panel once only. If it is
set to 1, the cutter cuts each panel twice.
Sort vectors: See below.
●
Sort vectors
Sorting vectors is a submenu of the Panels menu, but because of its importance it is explained separately. There
are three options in this menu:
Off: When vector sorting is set off, the cutter does no optimizing of the vectors. This is used when the
●
intelligence of the cutter driver is preferred.
Directional: If set to directional, the vectors are optimized for the cutting direction (substrate advance). This
●
is used when the cutting pressure has to be set relatively high (for example during cutting through).
Starting point: This option optimizes the starting point for closed curves. This is used when the users sees
●
that the curves do not close as they should.
Paneling is used for various different applications. Below are the typical settings for the two most common
applications:
Cutting through: This is explained in
●
Panels: On; Panel size: 5–10 cm; Panel replot: Off; Vector sorting: Directional.
Tracking difficult substrates: Typical settings for the parameters are: Panels: On; Panel size: 3–10 cm; Panel
●
replot: On/Off, depending on the thickness of the substrate. Vector sorting: Directional/Off, depending on
the required knife pressure and the substrate backing.
