TANGENTIAL EMULATION - Cutting Tiny Letters or Thick & Thin Material
The tangential emulation blade control prevents the following problems from occurring in the
normal blade control.
n
Dull corner shapes on thick material.
n
Inadequate line length particularly on thick material.
n
Broken corners on thick and thin material.
When the tangential emulation is enabled a special
blade rotation control and cut pressure control are
performed at the turning points, such as corners, to
ensure a quality cut. An overcut function, which
eliminates uncut portions from thick material is
available when the tangential emulation is enabled.
Be sure to set TANGENTIAL settings to suit the
media being cut.
Selecting Tangential Emulation Mode
There are two modes available for the tangential emulation control, MODE1 and MODE2. MODE
1 has the best overall quality. Mode 2 has the best overall time. If the cutting/plotting
performance is too slow due to excessive up/down pen movements, then select MODE2 to
shorten the cut/plot time. Remember that the cutting quality with MODE 2 is inferior to that of
MODE1.
