What Are Some Of The Finishing Options Of The Summa F1612 Cutter?

1. Cutting Options

• Tangential Cutting: This is one of the primary cutting methods offered by the F1612, which allows precise cutting of thick and rigid materials like PVC, foam board, or acrylic. The tangential module gives more control over cutting angles and sharp corners.
• Drag Knife Cutting: This tool is ideal for cutting thinner, flexible materials like vinyl, paper, and textiles. It’s a fast and efficient cutting option for lightweight substrates.
• Kiss Cutting: Used for cutting adhesive-backed materials like stickers and decals, where only the top layer is cut while the backing paper remains intact.
• V-Cut: The V-Cut tool is designed for creating angular cuts on materials such as foam boards. It allows for the creation of folded structures, making it useful in packaging design.
• Creasing: This tool is ideal for creating fold lines on cardboard or corrugated materials. It’s commonly used in packaging applications to help create foldable structures without breaking the material.
• Perforating: The cutter can perforate materials like cardboard and paper, allowing for easy folding or tearing of the material. This is useful for creating things like vouchers, tear-off tags, or product packaging.
• Oscillating Knife Cutting: This tool is designed for cutting thicker or tougher materials such as foam and honeycomb boards. The oscillating motion of the blade enables smooth and precise cuts through dense materials.

2. Finishing Options

• Routing: The Summa F1612 can be equipped with a routing module to mill out shapes from rigid materials like wood, acrylic, or aluminum composites. This is a great option for more complex finishing tasks like signage or furniture components.
• Conveyor Belt System: An optional conveyor system helps automate the finishing process by feeding materials through the cutter continuously. This is particularly useful for longer production runs, allowing for seamless material transfer and cutting without interruption.
• Barcode Workflow Automation: The cutter supports automated job recognition via barcodes, allowing for quick changeovers between jobs and ensuring the right finishing is applied without manual intervention.
• Pneumatic Oscillating Tool: Designed for cutting thick, soft, and fibrous materials, this tool ensures smooth finishing of materials like felt, foam, or carpet.
• High Frequency Oscillating Tool: This tool is perfect for cutting dense materials like rubber or thicker plastics, offering smooth finishes even on challenging substrates.
• Kiss Cutting: As part of the finishing process, kiss cutting ensures precision in label production, allowing for clean cuts that don’t damage the material’s backing.

3. Specialty Tools

• Rounding Tool: This tool allows for the rounding of corners on materials like acrylic or plastic, which can provide a polished, finished look to signs or displays.
• Single Edge Creasing Wheel: For packaging design, this creasing wheel allows for perfect fold lines, ensuring high-quality, clean creases in various cardboard materials.
• Heavy-Duty Creasing Wheel: For thicker and more rigid materials, this wheel ensures that fold lines are created without cracking the material.

4. OptiVision Camera System

• The integrated camera system offers contour cutting by recognizing registration marks on the printed materials. This allows for precise cutting along the design’s edges, ensuring high-quality finishing, especially for printed media and packaging.

These options allow the Summa F1612 to handle a wide range of applications, including signage, packaging, textile production, and custom displays, with precision and efficiency.
