Explanation
This sets the amount of offset from the center to the
cutting tip of the blade. When cutting two lines that form a
corner, this offset rounds the angle of intersection,
resulting in a rounded corner.
When blade compensation has been set, the PNC-1850/
1200 performs this compensation automatically.
The setting must match the conditions of the loaded sheet and blade. Perform a
cutting test and make the appropriate settings.
It is sufficient if the setting made here is within an adjustment range of
±
0.05 mm
from the offset value for the cutter blade. (For example, if the cutter blade is
0.250 mm, the setting should be between 0.200 and 0.300.)
The offset for the cutter blade included with the unit is 0.250 mm.
* When a pen has been installed to perform plotting, there is no need to set blade
compensation, because the tip of the pen lies along the center axis. In this case,
the setting “0.000 mm” should be made.
