For
the Professional Sign Shop
Future Corporation Ltd is proud to present Graphtec's reliable, easy-to-use FC-5100 vinyl cutters. And when you combine these powerful cutters with VinylMaster Pro you have a one Stop Sign Shop at your disposal. The new FC5100 Series is the fastest cutting plotter you will find on the market with superior accuracy. Available in 3 model sizes compatible with standard media sizes primarily used with digital imaging devices. An ideal solution for sign makers involved in post digital imaging processes such as die/contour cutting. Available
in 30", 42", and 54" model sizes,
Graphtec's new FC5100 Series features enhanced
cutting quality, speed and force compared to its
predecessor model, the FC4100 Plus Series. The
FC5100 Series features a maximum cutting speed
of 55.7 in./sec., 4.0G maximum axial
acceleration, and 20 to 500g cutting force.
Including all the features that made the FC4100
Plus Series such a success, this new series
comes with a wide array of helpful,
user-friendly features and functions such as
tangential emulation for precision cutting of
thick material and intricate designs as small as
1/16" high on vinyl - without lifting
corners. Many optional features and accessories
are also available to further enhance your
productivity and versatility. |

The
unsurpassed versatility of the new
FC5100 series is further augmented with
its capability to plot, cut and pounce
without having to alter the plotter's
mechanical configuration. To configure
the FC5100 for any job-specific setup
among test plotting, cutting or pouncing
paper stencil, simply install the
specific tool required for the next job
and select one of the eight
user-programmable settings that
corresponds to the type of tool as well
as any other pertinent job requirements. With the world's fastest throughput performance and superb accuracy, the new FC5100 Series handles the most demanding cutting and plotting projects and performs highly intricate cutting -- as small as 1/16" high text on vinyl! The innovative technology engineered in this series provides users with the versatility needed to accomplish numerous applications in a limited timeframe, thereby increasing their overall profit margins. |

The
Accuload™
media system integrates a media aligning
guide to assist both new and experienced
users in loading and aligning the media
accurately for assured tracking
performance. It allows effortless
loading of media from tightly wound
fresh roll, manually rewound loose roll,
or cut-sheet form. The new Accuload™ for the FC5100 series incorporates a cross cutting groove for enhanced user-friendliness. The convenient cross cutting groove provides a simple solution for obtaining a straight sheet cut-off of your finished job, making it easier than ever before! Axis alignment and registration of digitally imaged material The standard LED positioning system enables tool-free axis alignment The registration mark sensor is optionally available for automated registration and alignment processes for enhanced positioning accuracy and productivity. |

| Better Tracking and Consistent Cutting Quality with the Intelligent Smart Feed Function | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
The
user-friendly control panel comes
standard with a large 20-digit x 4-line
LCD menu/control display and
icon-labeled comprehensive controls,
providing effortless operation and
simple navigation of various setup
menus. The oversized LCD allows users to
quickly glance at all operational
conditions including equipment status,
speed, force, quality (acceleration) and
type of tool with pre-programmed offset
value. Six commonly used function controls including: instantaneous hold (pause), cutting/plotting conditions, axis alignment, copy, test cut, and new origin are directly accessible on the control panel for added user-efficiency. 8 user-programmable settings facilitate frequent switching among application specific plotter setups and material selection. Each setting can be programmed with the specific type of tool (blade, pen, pounce tool or LED beam), cutting/plotting speed, acceleration, force, tangential control and distance compensation required for a specific application. These settings provide the user with an instantaneous recall of pre-programmed setup conditions for varying job requirements, further increasing your efficiency and productivity. The pressure-sensitive dual-speed position keys enable expeditious tool positioning with high accuracy. Engage the SmartFeed™ auto material pre-feed function to further enhance the FC5100's tracking capability for long length and repetitive cutting/plotting jobs. Built-in SmartFeed™ intelligence automatically unwinds the media roll and pre-feeds it for a user-programmable length as the plotting data extends beyond the prepared area. |

| Speed and power | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
The
FC5100's top cutting speed reaches 55.7
in/sec with the conditional maximum
acceleration of 4.0G. This combination
of speed and acceleration provides
lightning fast production of various
designs with superb cutting/plotting
quality - a result of our world-renowned
electro-mechanical system control
algorithms. The speed priority setting enhances the throughput performance for the production of large text signs, long banners and stripes while the acceleration (quality) priority setting provides the unsurpassed productivity for small and intricate design cutting. The overall throughput is further improved by an adoption of intelligent tool height control supported by the Graphtec proprietary, high-precision tool actuator system architecture. The selectable cutting forces ranging from 20 to 500g accommodate a wide spectrum of material including ultra-thin masking films to thick and hard reflective films. |

| Sophisticated tangential emulation algorithms | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
When
the Tangential Emulation mode is
engaged, the FC5100 over cuts the
mechanical tangential system (both in
speed and output quality) by precisely
and intelligently controlling the blade
rotation. The on-board tool height
sensor automatically detects the blade
tip's landing on the media surface, then
intelligently and precisely aligns the
blade rotation for the following cutting
operation, all in a fraction of
microseconds. This sophisticated feature incorporating Graphtec's proprietary technology completely eliminates distorted, rounded, or lifted corners even when highly intricate design cutting is required on 2 mil. vinyl film or 50 mil. sandblast rubber. This innovative and high precision system architecture integrated with Graphtec's signature technology, enables the FC5100 to cut text strings as small as 1/16" on vinyl. No cutter/plotter on the market can match the new FC5100 series' unsurpassed precision and built-in intelligence. |

|
Improved
cutting/plotting quality and prolonged
tool life are just a few of the
outstanding standard features you can
expect from the FC5100 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 the benefit of cost-saving tool maintenance as well. |

Optional
media basket An optional media basket is available for all new FC5100 series to facilitate dust-free cutting/plotting operations and enhanced media tracking for long, continuous project applications. The collapsible front and rear baskets keep the media off the shop floor to prevent dust and residue from accumulating on the output material. This feature is ideal when unevenness and/or obstacles are observed in the media pass (on the floor) that can potentially affect the plotter's tracking performance. |

Optional
stand-integrated media racks Maintaining up to 3 extra full-length rolls conveniently at the foot of your plotter, the media rack option enhances job efficiency and productivity by allowing you to quickly switch between media rolls or directly feed material from the rack. Each optional rack holds one full-length roll of media for easy and quick roll exchange, allowing you to exchange media color, type, and size with minimal effort. |
