Graphtec® FCX4000 Series Flatbed Cutting Plotter is a small-format digital flatbed cutting system designed for precision cutting, creasing, and finishing of printed materials and specialty media. Built for short-run production and prototyping, the FCX4000 Series offers a cost-efficient solution for users who need accurate die-cutting without the expense of traditional die tools.
The FCX4000 utilizes electrostatic media fixation, allowing lightweight or flexible materials to remain securely positioned during operation. This ensures precise cutting and creasing performance even on delicate substrates commonly used in packaging, labels, and printed graphics.
Powered by digital servo motors, the system delivers smooth, accurate motion control and consistent cutting results. The machine also features a tangential cutting mode, which allows the blade to rotate with the direction of the cut, making it highly effective for complex shapes or thicker materials where precision corners are required.
The dual tool head design allows multiple processes to be performed in one workflow, including cutting, creasing, perforating, plotting, and drawing. With up to 600g of cutting force, the FCX4000 can handle a wide range of materials used in packaging prototypes, labels, decals, and printed media.
For packaging applications, the machine can process from the backside of the media, creating clean and precise crease lines for folding cartons and structural mockups. The integrated barcode management system improves workflow efficiency by automatically loading the correct cutting job associated with printed sheets.
