We preset the blade protrusion to expose
a few microns more than the thickness of
the materials the unit is designed to cut.
When your plotter is cutting correctly the
coloured nose cap will run very close to the
media but will not normally touch it.
If the knife force/pressure is accidentally
set too high or if the media lifts because it is
uneven or obstructed the nose cap will
contact with the media and prevent
excessive blade penetration.
Excessive blade penetration can jam media
by pinning it to the cutting platen.
This is a major cause of damage to blades and
cutting platens that can also cause expensive
damage to plotters by straining cutting heads
and other fragile mechanisms.
WHEN ACCIDENTS OCCUR

OR SUBSTANTIALLY REDUCE
