Preventing Positioning Errors by Setting Material Feeding

Before starting cutting, set up the machine so that the material length necessary for cutting data is fed forward automatically beforehand, stabilizing the material feeding and preventing positioning errors. Also, feeding the material forward at the speed it is cut reduces the load on the motor. Be sure to set feeding for materials that require it.
IMPORTANT This function is disabled when the Single mode is selected for material size measurement.
MEMO Materials that Require Feeding
  • Roll material
  • Long, flat material that is longer than 1.6 m (63.00 in.)
