S Class 3 User’s Manual
OPOS 3-5
OPOS allows you to automate certain jobs, by placing the tool above the first registration marks
only once: when starting the job. This reduces user intervention and production time
significantly. There are different types of automation.
Multiple copies of the same job
When cutting multiple graphics, you only need to place the OPOS sensor above the origin mark
of the first graphic. Cutting subsequent graphics requires no further action from the user.
There are two multi-task situations in which OPOS can be used:
1. When cutting multiple (copies of a) graphic(s) on the same media roll (see section 3.3.1).
2. When cutting the same graphic on multiple sheets (see section 3.3.2).
Most automated jobs are organized from the cutting software. However, when the same
graphic contour has to be cut out, the automated job may also require some manual
manipulation.
Unattended contour cutting (roll to roll)
Along with the job, a special barcode can be printed, which is then used to access the correct
cutting data, allowing the cutter to cut job after job without user intervention.
