About the Cutting Area
The cutting area along the horizontal plane (the direction in which the tool carriage moves) is determined by the position of the pinch
rollers. The workable area spans the length between the two rollers, minus a margin of about 1 mm (about 0.04 in.) on both sides.
If the material length is greater than 1,600 mm (63 in.) when a flat material has been loaded, this machine determines it to be a roll
material and sets the material length to 24,998 mm (984-1/8 in.). Also, when loading flat material (that is, when [PIECE] has been
selected), a piece of material that is about 100 mm (3-15/16 in.) longer than the vertical size of the cutting data is required.
* When you select [F-EDGE] or [PIECE],
this is 30 mm (1-3/16 in.) When you
select [ROLL], everything toward the
front from the origin point is the margin.
(See “The Location of the Origin Point
Immediately After Loading Material”
elsewhere in this section.) When you
have separated the material using the
[SHEET CUT] key, this is the value set
for [MARGIN] at the [AUTOCUT]. Refer
to “6-3 List of Functions.”
When performing material feed or cutting, be sure to release the brake.
Attempting to perform material feed or cutting with the brake engaged may make normal feed impossible and
cause the material to slip and cause a motor error.
NOTICE
The longer is the cut material, the greater are the chances that the material will become crooked or come loose. This means that it is
important to load the material straight, make sure the margins are wide enough, and perform test feed to check the material feed.
The high-accuracy sheet hangers and brake on this machine can minimize crookedness of material.
Have on hand a piece of material that's at least 50 mm (2 in.) wider than the cutting width.
The chance of the material slipping loose from the pinch rollers can be reduced by braking the shaft and loading the pulled-out
material while it's in a tensioned state, which lets you load the material straight. Follow the steps below to load the material.

Place the roll material on the shaft and engage the
brake for the shaft.
