Take the production of your textile applications to the next level with the High Torque Rotary Module.

In general, the vacuum table of the F Series flatbed cutter has less grip on textiles. However, with the High Torque Rotary Module the material will stay in place thanks to the minimal horizontal force it produces. Consequently, also extremely porous material can easily be processed with the HT RM.

Media Handling & Workflows The Summa F Series flatbed systems offer many intelligent and efficient media handling features to optimise and future-proof your cutting workflow. A number of them are integrated, others can be retrofitted at any given time. So, go ahead and add another shift to your F Series operation with our large gamut of media handling add-ons and options to obtain ultimate production efficiency, reduce operator intervention and enhance overall ease-of-use.

Enhanced productivity with efficient media handling

The F Series flatbed cutters are equipped with a range of media handling features that are standard included with each model. Also a range of model-specific media handling add-ons is available to further enhance operator convenience and productivity. You can find a detailed overview of the specific media handling possibilities per model in the product sheets.

1. Conveyor System The Conveyor System allows you to cut, crease and annotate large lengths of (flexible) material to large production runs. The conveyor automatically transports cut parts away from the cutting area. This allows the production of jobs that are longer than the actual working area of the flatbed cutter.

advance clamps fix the material while pulling it forward to work continuously in panels or while processing multiple jobs. 3. Roll Support System In combination with the Conveyor System and the Media Advanced Clamps, the Roll Support System is ideal for processing roll material on all the Summa F Series models. 4. Vacuum Table The vacuum table generates hold- down force to keep the material in place during the cutting process while the selector adjusts the vacuum automatically to match the working area. The vacuum table can be set up with zones that can be turned on or off in case you want to process smaller jobs.

A workflow to anyone’s need

The F Series flatbed cutters allow to streamline the cutting workflow to your specific business needs. The different available workflows contribute to the flatbed’s ease-of-use, minimise operator intervention and increase yield considerably. The below workflows are standard included with all F Series models, unless otherwise specified.

Operator Zone With this feature the F Series’ working area can be divided into two separate zones, a cut only zone and an Operator Zone. The included Conveyor system automatically feeds all cut material forward to the Operator zone. The cutting head doesn’t move any further than the cut only zone, so the operator has access to the cut pieces safely at the front of the machine. Poster Trim This feature enables a fast cutting of posters without the need of importing any cutting data. The F Series built-in camera system automatically detects the edges of black printed frames and starts to cut immediately, without operator intervention. The Poster Trim functionality is the ideal way to make sure your posters are cut rapidly and precisely with a minimum of manual actions. Tandem Mode f or F1432, F1832, F3232 By using the front zones and rear zones alternately, this feature leads to significant production increase. With the Tandem Mode, the active working area on the flatbed can be divided into front and back processing areas, enabling the user to load and unload material on one end of the table while cutting material on the other end of the table. This will avoid idle periods during cutting, which will add significant value to the overall workflow. Twin Workflow To maximise productivity and flexibility in your finishing workflow, you can use the Twin Workflow. The Twin workflow combines the strength of a Summa roll cutter with an F Series flatbed cutter, meaning you can kiss- cut on the roll cutter and cut through on the F Series flatbed cutter. The Twin Workflow has been developed for users that want to optimise the use of their equipment in a most efficient way. By using one of these workflows, productivity and performance will be brought to a higher level. The smooth integration of the cutters into existing workflows will further contribute to the customer’s Productivity, Performance and Profitability!

Barcode Workflow

Certain RIP (Raster Image Processing) software offer the possibility to print a barcode with OPOS marks. This barcode can be used to identify the job and to automatically obtain the necessary cut data from the computer. Summa offers two possible ways to scan in a job.

With the Summa F Series built-in camera

With a hand scanner Another means to offer flexibil - ity to the operator’s workflow is scanning the job manually with a hand scanner. This way the operator can easily switch between jobs and materials. Multiple, different jobs can be processed back to back with ease. This feature is embedded in the GoProduce software. However, the hand scanner itself is not included and needs to be purchased separately.

Activation The barcode workflow is included in the GoProduce Pro Pack software.

With this F Series’ optional barcode setup, scanning the job happens automatically and continuously by the built-in camera. The operator doesn’t need to locate the job himself anymore. The job will be opened automatically in GoProduce to be processed immediately. The greatest asset of Summa’s revolutionary camera system is that the camera will search for the next job without operator inter- vention.

F-Performance

The F-Performance mode ensures an increase of up to 40% of the F Series’ performance. Advantages include faster up, down and turning movements of the cutting head, which will be most remarkable when using the Kiss-cut tool. Also, feeding material will happen significantly faster. The job will be finished practically twice as fast without compromising an inch on quality. The F-Performance mode is available as free unlock on new machines via www.Summa.com/f-performance and as payable unlock on older F Series models, built before 2018.

“The the F-Performance mode on the F1612 made a huge difference to our production speed. usage of The small gains on feed speed and tool movement really add up to give us around 30% additional productivity on this particular project.”

Testimonial | TrafficSupply

“With the F1612 flatbed cutter, the job is done in an instant.”

The Story | A typical F1612 workflow starts with a simultaneous setup of the print and cut file. As soon as the printing and lamination part is finished, the roll with reflective foil is placed onto the roll-up system. Then advanced by the conveyor onto the F1612 flatbed cutter surface. Subsequently, the cutter reads the barcode printed on the design and starts processing the correct file. By scanning the registration marks the cutter knows exactly how the roll is positioned onto the table – compensates if necessary – and starts to cut. Fast and efficiently.

Media Handling Add-ons for F1612

Basket The Basket is a handy accessory to reduce the media handling time, thus optimising your workflow. The F1612 can automatically process several feet of material while the basket is capturing the cut-out vinyl and/or waste material. Rely on an efficient cutting workflow and a clean work environment. Extension Tables for Continuous Sheet Feed The sturdy, foldable Extension Tables can be placed in front and at the back of the F1612. They are adjustable to set the correct height. This way, board material longer than the F1612 working area can still be processed. With the extension tables you can use the Continuous Sheet Feed feature, this enables the user to load and unload material while cutting. The feature helps to avoid idle periods during the processing of material and thus adds significant value to the overall workflow. Roll-Up System When kiss-cutting, the roll-up system winds the material back on a roll after it has been cut. This allows the F1612 to work unattended, while keeping the work area neat and clean. When cutting through, a workflow can be set up in combination with the basket or extension table. The roll-up takes care of the waste matrix while the operator collects the cutout material. The winded roll is also easily accessible for trolleys or other tools to handle heavy rolls. Conveyor Extension Thanks to the conveyor extension, the F1612 makes light work of cut designs, that are much larger than their actual cutting area. Once the first part of the job is completed, the conveyor feeds the cut material to the extended front where it can be removed easily and safely, while the machine is cutting the next part. This minimises downtime considerably. Note: All existing F1612 units in the field can be upgraded with this option.
