Lift and Plunge Points
These points control how the GERBERcutter cuts a corner. Most corners
can be cut with the knife continuously in the material. For corners where
accuracy is critical, the knife can be commanded to lift the knife out of
the material, turn to the next heading and plunge into the material to
complete the corner.
To enhance cut quality and performance when digitizing pieces in the
CAD system:
¨
Always start digitizing a pattern piece on a corner. Avoid starting in
the middle of a curve. If cutting begins on a curve, the part may not
be cleanly cut or could be distorted at the start / end point.
¨
Use as few grade and intermediate points as possible. Overloading a
part with data points slows the cutter and negatively affects curve
smoothness.
¨
The DCS 1500/2500 can support multiple drill (punch) sizes from 1
– 10 mm (1/32 to 1/2 in). AccuMark® and CutWorks toolpaths can
be configured to cut holes and to convert drills to holes or holes to
drills.
Vacuum Hold Down
The GERBERcutter vacuum system has been designed to accommodate
most common materials. The vacuum system compresses and stabilizes
material and directly correlates to performance and accuracy.
To enhance the vacuum system performance, alter the cut sequence to cut
small pieces before larger, adjacent pieces to improve performance.
Cutting small pieces first uses the hold-down power of the vacuum
system.
Knife Sharpness
Knife sharpness is key to cutting performance and accuracy. The
sharpness determines how well the knife travels through material and
directly affects cut quality. A dull knife can also push material which can
cause inaccuracies.
