The FC4200 series from Graphtec are intermediate-format flatbed cutting plotters capable of processing various materials with a high degree of precision. With its maximum cutting force of 600g, the FC4200 provides ideal economic solutions for cutting thick, hard materials that cannot be processed with a friction-feed cutting plotter.

The FC4200 Series is the ideal table/bench-top cutting plotter for high-precision and medium-heavy material crafting jobs and is suitable for cutting intricate designs on vinyl, photo-masking films, foam material, cardboard, oil board, and sandblast resist rubber. With its capability to hold both a cutting blade and a plotting pen simultaneously, the FC4200 allows garment/shoe pattern designers to mark and cut the material without manually replacing the marking/cutting tools. The FC4200 has a standard registration mark detection sensor, enabling quick and easy realignment of separately-imaged material for die cutting.

FC4200 Series Features

Designed for Heavy-Duty Cutting

With its 600g of cutting force, the FC4200 series will cut sandblast rubber for masonry and sign templates, thick, stiff card for shoe-making and CAD applications, stencil card for spray-painting, and many other heavy-duty materials which it would not be possible to cut using a friction-feed cutter-plotter. The flatbed configuraion enables rigid materials to be processed.

Automatic Registration-Mark Sensing

The FC4200 has a built-in registration mark detection sensor for precise alignment of pre-printed designs and graphics with respect to the internal coordinates system. The registration mark detection feature enables automatic compensation of physically skewed placement of material to precisely align the cutting lines with the package design.

FC4210-60 Features

The updated FC-4210-60 is designed for paperboard processing and cutting of other thick, hard materials. The finished product is so professional, the FC4210-60 can also be used for short-run productions!

Dual Tool Holders for Productivity

The FC4210-60 allows two tools to be mounted simultaneously for easy, on-the-fly switching. By loading the bladeholder and the creasing tool at the same time, both cutting and creasing operations can be performed without any need to exchange tools. A plotting pen can also be used to test plot the design prior to the cutting operation.

Substrate-specific Creasing Functions

The FC4210-60 will effectively crease even the most rigid substrates for clean folding. The user can select from single-line, double-line, or triple-line creasing.

Independent X/Y Direction Force Settings

Creasing force and cutting force can both be specified independently for the X and Y directions to suit the special characteristics of microflute and prevent the equipment's cutting surface (table) from being damaged.
Automatic Registration Mark Detection Function

Tangential Emulation for High-performance cutting

Graphtec's proprietary tangential emulation provides consistently accurate and clean cutting even on microflute (F/G grade) and paperboard, ensuring sharp edges and corners. The FC4210-60 uses a bladeholder with a supersteel blade to cut smoothly through a wide range of substrates.
