  1. Need Help BEST plotter for Contour Cutting Reflective Material??

    Hi Mike, One of the Summa S2's with the OPOS Camera would work well for detecting the marks and there is also a yellow filter(instructions & info attached) for the OPOS sensor that can also be used to detect registration marks on reflective materials. Are you trying to cut engineer grade...

  3. Summa S2T160 not turning on.

    Good afternoon, This is likely a power supply issue but I would first test the voltage going to the machine from the outlet to make sure you are getting power to the machine. It could also be possible after looking at the photos that you might have a loose connection to the mainboard for the...

  7. Summa D-Series botching circles?

    Good afternoon, Are you flex cutting out these shapes or are these being kiss cut? What material is this that you are cutting as well? If you are trying to flex cut these shapes you might try doing a double pass cut(non-flex) cut at lower pressure and see if you get better results. If you...

  10. Summa D75 questions

    Hi Jeremiah, If this is a D75-R then it should have a USB port on it. If this is an older SummaSign Pro D750 then it may have a serial port and one of the Keyspan RS232 serial to USB adapters from Tripplite should work well for getting the cutter to communicate with your computer. Just make...
  11. Working with my new Summa S2 T Series

    Good afternoon, I think you are overthinking this quite a bit. If you are running Windows you will want to use GoSign to output cut only files where there is no contour cutting involved. You can use the material manager to setup the cut parameters for different materials that you will be...
  12. Summa F1612 - Cuts are consistently off in one direction

    Are your cuts off to the left consistently by the same amount or does that vary at all from job to job? If the cuts are off to the left by the same amount then a camera offset and slot calibration should get the cuts back on. Have you tried switching the slot of the tool that you are using...
  13. Need Help Summa S2 T160 Not closing cuts properly

    Good morning, I would double check your knife depth first(knife should be protruding just beyond the ball bearings on the nose piece) and your pressure setting. For most laminated vinyl your pressure should be around 100-150 grams or so with the correct knife depth. When you have your knife...
  14. S2 T160 - trouble cutting metallic

    You would use it just for reflective/metallic/holographic type materials and remove it when cutting regular vinyl. You can print them yourself and all you need to do is print a translucent yellow on clear vinyl. I've used the filters quite a bit on reflective and they work well. There are a...
  15. S2 T160 - trouble cutting metallic

    Good morning, What Snydo said would work and there is also a yellow OPOS filter that you can use with metallic and reflective materials as well to help with mark detection. Instructions for that process are attached. Best regards, Phil Johnson Airmark Corporation (800)527-7778, ext 112...
  16. Summa F1612 - Max material thickness for router?

    Good morning, The quick answer to your question is no, there isn't a way to rout materials thicker than 1". The main reason is gantry clearance on the machine. I would strongly suggest not trying to disassemble the router system as you may end up causing damage to the router system or table if...
  17. Need Help Cutting Laminated PVC on Summa F1612

    One suggestion might be to try kiss cutting the laminated vinyl on the surface first with something like the kiss cutting tool and then send a second cut path with the heavy duty tool slightly offset from the kiss cut to reduce the knife drag as the tool cuts through the vinyl(which is generally...
  18. Summa F1612 - Vacuum recomendation

    Just wanted to clarify that the POT-L(POT long) does have a longer blade that is designed to cut the foam inserts as was previously mentioned. The POT is usually a bit too powerful to cut the softer foam boards and really would be overkill for that application. Those types of materials are...
  19. SUMMA D140 HELP

    Good afternoon, I would agree with Sean that you should move your pinch rollers outside the registration marks and closer to the edge of your media. In the video it appears the rollers are a couple inches from each edge and usually you will want to set those about a half inch from each edge...
  20. Need Help Summa mark Size, reading difficult media

    Good afternoon, I'm not sure if this particular material will perform the same as working with reflective vinyl, but you might try using one of the yellow OPOS filters to see if the sensor can detect the marks. I have attached a document which explains the process of using the filters. Feel...
