About the Cutting Area
The cutting area along the horizontal plane (the direction in which the tool carriage moves) is determined by the position of the pinch
rollers. The workable area spans the length between the two rollers, minus a margin of about 1 mm (about 0.04 in.) on both sides.
If the material length is greater than 1,600 mm (63 in.) when a flat material has been loaded, the CX-500/400/300 determines it to be
a rolled material and sets the material length to 24,998 mm (984-1/8 in.). Also, when loading flat material (that is, when [PIECE] has
been selected), a piece of material that is about 100 mm (3-15/16 in.) longer than the vertical size of the cutting data is required.
* When you select [F-EDGE] or [PIECE],
this is 25 mm. When you select [ROLL],
everything toward the front from the
origin point is the margin. (See “The
Location of the Origin Point Immediately
After Loading Material” elsewhere in this
section.) When you have separated the
material using the [SHEET CUT] key,
this is the value set for [MARGIN] at the
[AUTOCUT MENU]. Refer to “7-3 List of
Functions.”
When performing material feed or cutting, be sure to release the brake.
Attempting to perform material feed or cutting with the brake engaged may make normal feed impossible and
cause the material to slip and cause a motor error.
NOTICE
The longer is the cut material, the greater are the chances that the material will become crooked or come loose. This means that it is
important to load the material straight, make sure the margins are wide enough, and perform test feed to check the material feed.
The high-accuracy sheet hanger and brake on this machine can minimize crookedness of material.
Have on hand a piece of material that's at least 50 mm (2 in.) wider than the cutting width.
The chance of the material slipping loose from the pinch rollers can be reduced by braking the shaft and loading the pulled-out
material while it's in a tensioned state, which lets you load the material straight. Follow the steps below to load the material.

Place the rolled material on the shaft and engage the
brake for the shaft.
