MIMAKI CF3-1631 FLATBED CUTTER

The CF3 series large  format flatbed cutting plotters can handle an extensive range of   applications up to 5 cm thick. It incorporates three exhangeable head   types (router, reciprocating, or tangential head) and innovative cutting  technology. For an effective print and cut solution, CF3 series can be  combined with Mimaki's UV curable flatbed printers, the JF series.

Supports both small and large size media up to 1.6m x 3.1m (63″ x 122″). Even difficult   acrylic or aluminum composite panels can be cut with consistently high   accuracy. User exchangeable cutting heads to suit a wide range of   conditions widen your possibilities greatly.

The Cf3 series   incorporates three exchangeable head types (router head, tangential head  or reciprocating head) which allow for cutting a wide range of   materials. Switching heads can be done relatively quick. Other tools,   such as  swivel cutter, pen tool, and creasing tool, are also available.

M head(router)

The M head is  used exclusively for router cutting. With a high-speed spindle, rigid materials such as acrylic or aluminum composite panels can be cut   easily, even up to 50mm in thickness.

The cut depth control function enables multiple cuts for especially thick materials.

Spindle speed: 60,000rpm
Tool chuck: collet type
Maximum tool diameter: 6mm (0.24")
Main materials:　rigid materials such as acrylic and 
aluminum composite panels
Set tool: endmill

R1 head(reciprocating cutter)

Thick materials up   to 20mm (0.78") can be cut with the reciprocating cutter. The R1 head is  equipped with a material-holding unit, which prevents cut materials   from lifting. The cutting head is suitable for cutting corrugated boards  and foam materials.\

Maximum reciprocating speed: 
approximately 10,000 strokes/min
Stroke: 1mm *dependent on the cutter and holder used
Maximum cut depth: 20mm *dependent on the cutter and 
holder used
Main materials: cardboard, corrugated board, foam material
Set tool: swivel cutter/pen, reciprocating cutter creasing tool, 
high-pressure tangential cutter

TF2 head(tangential cutter)

The tangential cutter steers the blades as it cuts. With two types of  tangential cutters and fine cut pressure settings a wider range of   materials can be cut successfully. Various cutting tools are provided   for a range of materials. Any suitable blade available on the market,   can be mounted.

Vertical tool force: low-pressure head:300-1,500,
high-pressure head:1,000-5,000g
Main materials: reflective sheet, rubber, industrial materials
Set tool: swivel cutter/pen, tangential cutter creasing tool and
high-pressure tangential cutter

The CF3 series incorporates innovative state-of-the-art-technology

The CF3 series cuts printed materials with high accuracy to satisfy   your needs and creativity. Mimaki's latest cutting technology provides   versatile solutions for a wide range of cutting jobs.

Color photo sensor

The patented Mimaki color photo sensor on CF3, reads registration   marks that are printed on the media to obtain more precision by   automatic correction of alignment and distances.

Sensor

By recognizing the difference between the color of the media and of   the registration marks, the position of the registration marks is   correctly detected regardless of the color of the media.

Light pointer

The registeration marks can be located easily. The light pointer can also be used to precisely position the media on the bed.

4-point adjustment

By detecting 4 registration marks and adjusting alignment and distance, precise contour cutting of complex shapes is enhanced.

Media is firmly held by vacuum system

The vacuum area is divided into zones, 6 for the CF3-1631 and 2 for   the CF3-1610. The zones can be separately activated to suit the media   size. The vacuum system also incorporates a blower function for easier   positioning of heavy media.

Easily hold down different size materials
According to the size of the media a number of zones can be activated to optimize hold down for any size material.

The blower function enables easy handling of heavy materials.
The blower function (reversing the air stream) can be activated to easily position, replace and move heavy media.

Automatic cleaning of the table surface

Blowing away the dust is essential for the router to move smoothly.   The automatic cleaning function selects the area to be cleaned from a   total of 8 sections. This automatic feature not only enhances   reliability but also saves post cutting labour costs.
* The automatic cleaning function only applies to the M head (router)
