Graphtec Arms System Graphtec Arms System

Graphtec FC9000 Plus Series: A.R.M.S For Print & Cut

The FC9000-120 Plus is equipped with the A.R.M.S (Advanced Registration Mark Sensing) 5.0 System to allow for easy and highly accurate print & and cut applications for pre-printed media. This system allows you to cut out around pre-printed designs to create adhesive-back labels and stickers or die-cut / perforation cut through card to create packaging samples out of card.

4-Point Axis Alignment
This feature compensates for any skewing and shrinking on the X and Y-axis using sophisticated algorithms. This leads to more accurate registration and improves the reliability and quality of Print & Cut.

Expanded Effective Cutting Area
The ARMS system expands the cutting area to include outside of the area enclosed by registration marks. This increases production efficiency by reducing media waste.

Multiple-Mark Compensation
When a design is printed using the matrix copy function, the marks are read and contour cutting is repeated for each copy. It can significantly improve productivity for Print and Cut.

Copy With ARMS
The COPY key allows fast access for making copies of downloaded data. It also supports cutting data including the ARMS control command for processing multiple sheets without a PC.
