Help Graphtec Ce6000-60 pull media from rollers
Can anybody please help an idiot? I have loaded the vinyl, the machine is all good to go, I press cut on the PC the cutter comes to life and starts cutting, but pulls the media off the rear rollers the alarm goes off and the machine stops 😕 (happens when using cutting master or Flexi) What am I doing wrong??? I have reduced the acceleration and that hasn’t helped.
I’m sure I’m being completely stupid and have over looked something simple 😳
Any suggestion?
Many thanks in advance

john,what do you meam by it pulls the media off the rear rollers??what does it say on the screen when it stops??sounds like the no media sensor at the rear is been exposed.are you unrolling enough media for the job or is the machine trying to pull from the roll?

Hi John – have you pulled some slack from the roll? It sounds like the cutter is snatching the media 😕

This happens when the roll is too heavy and the machine is pulling it through.
Like Paul and john said, pull off some slack at the back of the machine, a little more than what you need and slow the machine down a little.
Most machine have speeds far greater than what you need. My machine is turned down to 35% and thats more than enough.
Can’t understand why these machine have such high speed settings unless your doing millions of lines across the page.

Thanks John, Paul & Vic
I think the problem was that I was pulling the roll to taught (thought that what I was shown at Graphtec 😳 ) anyway this morning I gave the roll some slack and reduced the speed, so thank you for the advice and help :lol1:

Thats a good tip. I never give myself slack. Going to start now

I always creat a loop of vinyl between the last roller and machine hanging down to the floor, this will be enough for most jobs if it’s a bigger job just roll the vinyl on a bit when getting low.
