Adding another pinch roller on my fc8000 75

[Chris Wool]

i did ask graphtec for the same thing last week. never got a reply.
mine is a fc7000 130 and has 3 rollers but for cutting motox stuff could do with another one or two.
there are potential problems with set up as the machine reads the roller position and if there is a extra one then will not understand unless its a non read type. (i know what i mean)

from what you say you need to use wider material and your problems will disappear.
i run graphtecs and rolands, the graphtec just don’t like the rollers to close to the edge of the material.

Hi Chris
Maybe there’s a way to disable the sensor ? If there is i could run the rollers closer and set the start point myself ??? Tell me if I’m babbling…

If i use a wider material i will have lets say a 50m roll at 700mm and another at 500mm which will be useless to me….

a lot of suppliers do 700 ish size rolls.
it does say in your manual that the rollers have to be set in 15mm from the edge else it wont track straight

Not sure if I understand what you are saying here Daniel. You should be able to set the rollers from any width from about 4 inches up to the maximum. The head will measure the distance between the rollers which gives you the cutting width and also sets the start point.

hi all.

just reading this, i was informed at the beginning of the week grafityp are not going to be stocking 700 rolls as there is too much waste on this for them.

Hexis do a 760 roll if that’s any use.
