1.3 Modules
1.3.1 Camera unit
The carriage has a central unit. This central unit is fixed to the
carriage and cannot be taken off. The central unit houses a
positioning laser and an integrated camera system for fast and
accurate registration mark recognition while contour cutting.
The camera module of the F1612 also has connections for the
special tools or modules that require compressed air. For the
larger models, these connections for compressed air are
situated at the side of the carriage.
Both the knob and black camera adjust plate is part of the
manual height adjustment mechanism. Each time material is
loaded with a different thickness than the previous one, the
height of the camera needs to be adjusted (only with contour
cutting).
1.3.2 Drag head module
The drag head module comes standard with the flatbed cutter.
The Drag Module is a fast-moving drag knife and pen holder
for making notations or kiss-cutting a wide range of materials,
using up to 600 grams of downforce.
The clearance between the standard drag knife holder and the
flatbed base is approximately 3 mm (0.11”). So, it has to be
removed when thicker materials are used.
1.3.3 Tangential module
The tangential module offers a vertical force of 10 kg and
corresponds to a wide range of matching tools. Each tool has
a barcode ID that ensures automatic recognition and
separate parameter settings.
For each application, a corresponding tool can be installed on
the tangential module.
