Setting Of The Initial Down Force - GRAPHTEC CE6000 SERIES User Manual

Setting of the Initial Down Force

The initial down-force setting is effective when tangential mode is selected.
Tangential control is generally used for the cutting of thick media. With thick film, additional time is required for the
cutter blade to penetrate the media fully, even when the necessary cutting force is applied.
The cutting operation starts before the cutter blade has fully penetrated the media, causing uncut sections to be left.
When the initial down force is specified, this force is used as the cutting force immediately after the lowering of
the tool when tangential emulation is selected, enabling the cutter blade to penetrate the media rapidly. (As an
example, if the cutting force is 25 and the initial down force is 4, for example, the cutting force applied immediately
after the pen is lowered will be 29)
The upper limit for added value is 31 for the CE6000-40/60 and 38 for the CE6000-120.
