  • Page 54: About The Cutting Area

    Details of the Origin-point Location and Cutting Area About the Cutting Area The cutting area along the horizontal plane (the direction in which the tool carriage moves) is determined by the position of the pinch rollers. The workable area spans the length between the two rollers, minus a margin of about 1 mm (about 0.04 in.) on both sides.

  • Page 55: To Perform Lengthy Cutting

    To Perform Lengthy Cutting Lengthy Cutting: Points to Remember  The longer is the cut material, the greater are the chances that the material will become crooked or come loose. It is important to load the material straight, make sure the margins are wide enough, and perform test feed to check the material feed.
  • Page 56 To Perform Lengthy Cutting  Position the left and right pinch rollers as shown in the figure. Position the middle pinch roller at the center between the left and right pinch rollers. If a grit mark is present between the left and right pinch rollers, position the middle pinch roller above the correspond- ing grit roller.

About the replot feature The Replot feature performs cutting using all the data stored in the machine’s replot memory. This means that when you perform replotting, then before you send the data to be replotted from the computer, you need to delete the data in the replot memory.

  • Page 59: Front Loading

    Front Loading What is the Front Loading The front loading is a method to load the roll material on the front of the machine. This is available when the sheet hanger (with the special accessory stand: PNS-642/502/402/302) is attached to the front face of the ma- chine.

  • Page 60: Setting The Cutting Area Using The Operation Panel

    Front Loading About the Origin Point and the Cuttable Area For front loading, the [SELECT SHEET] setting made when you load the material must be set to either [ROLL] or [R-EDGE]. The origin-point location and the area where cutting is possible are as shown below.

  • Page 61: Setting The Cutting Area Using The Camm-1 Driver

    Front Loading  Press to show the screen in the figure. Press to set the required material length for cutting. Set the length to a negative value. (A negative value signifies material feed toward the back.) Set a value that is about 0.2 meters longer than the value for the required material length in the cutting data.
  • Page 62 Front Loading The tool position when cutting starts is used as the point of origin for automatically making the cut- ting area available using [Front Loading]. It makes no difference where the origin point has been set. Present position of the tool is used as the point for origin in not only feed direction but also right and left direction.
