S CLASS™ cutter User's Manual

4.3.1 Settings

This menu bundles all the settings of the S CLASS™ cutters. All settings in this
section, apart from the OPOS parameters, are user-dependent (information is
contained within each of the eight individual user settings, see section 4.3.3.).

4.3.1.1 Tool

The Tool submenu is used to select the default tool at power-up.
Press the button, then use or to change the tool to another default
tool. Press to confirm or to cancel. After changing the tool, the cutter
will ask the user to confirm that there was a tool change just before it comes online.
NOTE: Do not forget to check and/or recalibrate the tool settings when a tool has
been changed (see section 2.2.1). Also, OPOS calibration must be redone (see
section 3.2.1).

4.3.1.2 Advanced cutting

The cutting menu groups the different parameters to optimize the cutting quality.

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 4.3 below shows what overcut does with a tangential knife. A sample cut-out
with a drag knife would show fewer overcuts, since there would be fewer 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 ".

confirm or to cancel. The default overcut is set to 1.

OptiCut:

OptiCut increases the cutting quality in case the knife is worn out or not calibrated
correctly.
OptiCut is default-set to OFF.
Press the button, then use or to set OptiCut to ON or OFF. Press
to confirm or to cancel.
