S Class 2 cutter Service manual
Basic Operation 4-5
MODE 1 is the quickest mode, but it is less precise because the pressure changes during the
cutting.
MODE 2 is a lot slower, but at the same time it is much more precise, as the cutter stops at
every change of pressure.
There are 3 typical FlexCut parameters:
1. Full pressure Cut length: This parameter determines the length that is cut with full
pressure. Usually the length that will be cut all the way through.
2. Flex pressure cut length: This parameter determines the length that will be cut with
reduced pressure or without pressure. Usually a much smaller value than the full pressure
cut length – this is the length of the media bridges.
3. FlexCut pressure: This parameter determines the pressure of the Flex pressure cut length.
Usually a reduced pressure so that the knife only scratches the media or just cuts it only
halfway through.
4.2.2.5 Advanced Cutting
Cutting groups the different parameters to optimize the cutting quality.
4.2.2.5.1 Overcut:
The Overcut submenu enables you to generate an overcut in order to facilitate weeding the
cut. Each time the knife goes up or down, the cutter cuts a bit further. Figure below shows
what overcut does with a tangential knife. An example cut out with a drag knife would show
fewer overcuts, since there would be less up/downs (usually only one per curve/letter).
The overcut setting can be disabled (=0) or set to any value between 0 (=off) and 10. One unit
is about 0.1 mm or 0.004 ".
OVERCUT
The default overcut is set to 1.
4.2.2.5.2 OptiCut:
OptiCut increases the cutting quality in case the knife is worn-out or not calibrated correctly.
OptiCut is default set to off.
4.2.2.5.3 Paneling
Use Panelling submenu to enable or disable the internal paneling function of the cutter.
Paneling is used for several different applications most common are FlexCut and long jobs
with or without the roll up option.
4.2.2.5.4 Panel Size
Use the Panel size submenu to set the size of the panel.
