1
Blade Offset doesn't
match with the offset on
the machine
Match Offset
User's Manual
Blade used on the machine has offset and therefore, tip is shifted from
its center. When the offset setting done on the machine doesn't match
with the blade offset or the offset value of the application software,
offset correction won't be done. Therefore, the starting and ending
points won't match especially when cutting circles.
2
Middle Pinch Rollers are
not used
Use Middle Pinch
Rollers
User's Manual
There are 7 Pinch Rollers, left, right and middle. When using only left
and right pinch rollers, middle part of the media won't follow both edges
when the media is fed. Therefore, the starting and ending points won't
match. It is recommended to use the Middle Pinch Rollers especially
when using wider media.
3
Scratch in Cutter
Protection
Replace the Cutter
Protection
Cutter Protection is where the blade lands for cutting. If there is scratch
on the Cutter Protection, blade doesn't rotate smoothly and therefore,
starting and ending point won't match.
4
Blade tip is worn out
Replace the Blade
When blade tip wears out, offset will be changed. Therefore, as same
as the above description 1, the starting and ending point won't match
especially when cutting circles.
5
Bearing inside Blade
Holder doesn't rotate
smoothly
Replace the Blade
Holder
There are bearings inside the Blade Holder. When the bearings don't
rotate smoothly, direction of the blade slightly shifts from the correct
direction and therefore, starting and ending points do not match.
6
Holder part of Tool
Carriage is loose
Replace the Tool
Carriage
[3-4 Tool Carriage
Replacement]
When Holder part of Tool Carriage is loose, the cutting is unstable and
results in starting and ending points do not match.
7
Tool Height is not correct Tool Height Adjustment
[4-13 Tool Height
Adjustment]
When Tool Height is not adjusted, blade hits the Bed strongly and
bounces which results in starting and ending points do not match. In
most cases, the cutting at the very beginning is caused by this reason.
8
Tool Pressure is not
correct
Tool Pressure
Adjustment
[4-14 Tool Pressure
Adjustment]
When Tool Pressure is not adjusted, blade hits the Bed strongly and
bounces. Therefore, the cutting at the very beginning won't be done
and cause the starting and ending points to be shifted. And also, when
the Tool Pressure is set too high by the user, the blade offset changes
because the blade tip goes deep into the vinyl. Therefore, the starting
and ending points will be shifted.
9
Motor Gear is meshed too
tight or too loose
Adjust Backlash
When Motor Gear is meshed too tight or too loose, Tool Carriage and
Grit Roller will be driven unstable and results in starting and ending
points to shift.
10 Belt Tension is not correct Belt Tension Ajustment
[4-15 Belt Tension
Ajustment]
If the belt tension is not correct, the cutting is misaligned or skewed.
