About this product
The Graphtec FCX4000 Series is a compact electrostatic hold-down flatbed cutter designed for packaging prototyping, short-run die cutting, label and decal work and sample making. Because hold-down is electrostatic rather than vacuum, no external pump or compressor is required — the machine plugs into standard 110 V power and runs quietly in an office or print shop.
Enhanced rigidity in the sliding mechanism improves cut quality and accuracy over previous generations, and a dual head configuration holds two tools at once so cutting and creasing complete in a single job. The reverse creasing function creases from the back of the sheet to prevent surface marks on printed faces, and up to three fold lines can be created per crease.
ARMS registration mark sensing supports both standard and reversed-color marks, and the contour cutting area extends beyond the registration marks themselves. Barcode print & cut data management over USB and full offline operation from a thumb drive let an operator run jobs without a connected computer.
Two sizes are available: FCX4000-50ES with a 25.98" x 19.21" cutting area, and FCX4000-60ES with a 38.4" x 25.9" cutting area. Both include Graphtec Studio 2 and Cutting Master 5 and carry a 2-year warranty.
Please note: an optional stand (part ST0113) is available for the FCX4000-60ES, sold separately.
