6-7 START AND END POINTS DO NOT MATCH
NO CHECKING POINT ACTION REFERENCE OUTLINE
1
Blade Offset doesn't
match with offset set in
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,
offset correction won't be done. Therefore, the starting
and ending points won't match especially when cutting
circles.
2
Scratch in Cutter
Protection
Replace the Cutter
Protection
[3-12 Cutter
Protection _
Replacement]
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.
3 Blade tip is wearing out Replace the Blade
When blade tip wears out, offset will be changed.
Therefore, as same as 1, the starting and ending point
won't match especially when cutting circles.
4
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.
5
Holder part of Tool
Carriage / Tool
Carriage ASS'Y are
loose.
Fix Holder part of
Tool Carriage / Tool
Carriage ASS'Y
again.
[3-4 Tool
Carriage _
Replacement]
When Holder part of Tool Carriage / Tool Carriage
ASS'Y are loose, the cutting is unstable and starting and
ending points do not match.
6
Tool Height is not
correct
Tool Height
Adjustment
[4-11 Tool Height
Adjustment]
When Tool Height 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.
7
Tool Pressure is not
correct
Tool Pressure
Adjustment
[4-12 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.
8
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.
