4.3.2.4 TurboCut

TurboCut increases throughput by speeding up the drag movement but without raising
the overall speed of the plotter. The cutting time reduction is significant, especially
when cutting small, detailed designs. However, some thicker materials might not cut
well with this feature turned ON.
Press the TurboCut button, then use
Press to confirm or
TurboCut is default activated.

4.3.2.5 Panels

There are 4 specific parameters in the 'Panels' submenu:
Panels:
1. This parameter switches panels on or off.
Panel size:
2. This parameter determines the length of the panel.
Panel replot
3. : This parameter determines if the design needs to be cut more than
once, panel per panel. Panel replot is used for thick media and for media that is
difficult to cut. The value of this parameter is disregarded if panelling is set to off.
If this parameter is set at 0, the cutter will cut each panel only once. If it is set at 1,
it will cut each panel twice.
Sort vectors:
See the below paragraph.
4.
Panelling is used for several different applications. Below are the typical settings for the
most 2 common applications.
Cutting through
: This is explained in section 0. Typical settings for the parameters are:
Panels: ON; Panel size 5 – 10 cm; Panel replot: OFF; vector sorting: DIREC.
Tracking difficult media
3 – 10 cm; Panel replot: ON/OFF, depending on the thickness of the media. Vector
sorting: DIREC./OFF, depending on the needed knife pressure and backing of the
material.
Sort Vectors:
Sorting vectors is a submenu of the panel menu but because of its importance it is
explained separately.
There are three options in this menu.
Off:
1. When vector sorting is set to off, the cutter does no optimizing of the vectors.
This is used when the intelligence of the cutter driver is preferred.
Directional:
If set to directional, the vectors are optimized for the cutting direction
2.
(media movement). This is used when the cutting pressure needs to be set
relatively high (for example during cutting through).
Starting point:
3. This option optimizes the starting point for closed curves. This is
used when the users notices the curves do not close as they should.
