why is my mutoh SC650 cutting too fast please?
After years of faithful service my trusty old mutoh is starting to play up. No matter what cutting speed, acceleration, or tool I select the machine seems to be cutting at full speed. Anyone who owns one of these machines will know, they are extremely fast !
It’s still cutting perfectly, however on larger pieces of work, 2m or longer I have always set the machine to cut slower so the vinyl has less of a chance of creasing as its fed backwards and forwards through the rollers. At its current speed it seems far too aggressive when cutting long pieces of work, it can very stressful if your low on vinyl ! !
Any suggestions would be grateful🙂

what software are you using, are you setting the plotter by its LCD panel or the software you use. Most plotters have a command control sometimes this alters & it starts receiving its commands from the software when you think its getting it from the Plotter menu. Hope that makes sense, worth a look anywayKev

I disabled the settings in my software and rely on the mutoh ones. I have a manual somewhere if you would like a copy

Still problem?
Dave, what is shown at Yours SC-650 led’s panel?
Is this that maximum speed – and You can’t change it to lower – or display say "speed is ok" = low ?Or MAYBY You forgot to change speed of "knife-up movement" – this was last in speed menu ( if I’m good remember – my mutoh mainboard died few years ago – was excellent machine).

Thanks for the sound advice guys. . . yes I have got it sorted. . . I was being thick.. the plotters speeds were being determined by the software.
. . I’m still amazed how quick these old machines can cut . thanks again guys ! -

Hi, my name is Ray and I’m new to the forums. I know this is an old post but I’m having the same trouble with a Gerber fastrack (think this is the same as a mutoh) and using flexisign 8.1. Just wondered if you could tell me how you sorted this? Regards. Ray
