Cutcontour, Flexcut in Wasatch?

I recently asked Wasatch about this and was told that it is currently an unsupported feature.

Flexcut is set in the machine, not Wasatch. Call Summa and they can tell you how to set it up on your machine.

agreed, but without the ability to send two different cut paths to the machine, it's not very helpful

 

Hi, I don´t know about that Wasatch software, but I guess if you are able to open your file with Winplot (export it as .eps) then you can do what you want to do with flexcut and contour-cut at the same cutting process. Remember this is only possible with Winplot 6.9, and the way to configurate the Summa plotter is to let the flexcut in off mode, then the important thing is to apply the paths you want to flexcut with a 100% red contour color, and then to choose this flexcut red lines option into Winplot cut window. If you are able to export as .eps file, and you want to cut with Winplot, and you have any doubt, let me know and I will explain it with more detail, although for sure Summa technical service will be great if you need a fast explanation by phone.

 

Flexcut is just another color in summa's color palette,

In corel it is very easy to do ~ assign your contour, assign your flex cut.
send it off to winplot.

this may help you get started -

I have Wasatch and NEVER use it to cut anything.

 

It is another colour in Summa palette as dclet says, but that´s only for DC machines, I guess it is not working on plotters (though I never tried that way), and S140T will only understand cut paths, not color paths, so I guess the only way is to work with 100% red paths (for flexcut), but I will check the way dclet says.
From what I know, if you are able to import an .eps from Winplot you will manage to flexcut and contour cut at the same time, what you can´t choose is the cut order as Winplot will cut first contour cuts and after it the flexcuts, it always lets flexcut for the last cutting work.

 

So will this work with wasatch softrip? Or do I need to use winplot for a flexcut?

Trimming those darn little stickers down by hand is such a PITA.

 

assuming you have everything in place ( opos marks, contours )

assign everything you want to flexcut an outline of 100% yellow & 100% Magenta. (red)

send to winplot, check the flexcut box and off you go.

 

Stickerland-

A quick update on this thread. In the latest release of Softrip 6.6 (Oct 19th release) our Summa driver now supports the FlexCut feature. I personally ran a bunch of tests on this driver and am quite familiar with it. Give a call to our support department to get download instructions to update your Summa SignPro driver. - 1-800-683-8214

Also we have added support for wireless communication for the latest Summa cutters.

Stickerland-

To use the FlexCut feature you will need to download the October 19, 2009 release of 6.6 - unless you have done this in the last two days then the 6.6 you are running is not the latest and will not have the FlexCut features.

Send an email to wct@wasatch.com to ask for download instructions. Once you see the new properties page for the Summa driver it will be easy to sort out.

Hello guys (and gals):

My computer crashed and I lost my hard drive with everything in it; including my Wasatch 6.1 Install file. Can you please email me a copy of the install file. I have my hardware key and my codes, just the install file is missing.
I called Wasatch and was told they no longer have a copy of 6.1 and I have to upgrade.

Thanks in advance!


Jimmy

 

You only had an install file, not a CD?

I thought Wasatch only came on CD...

 

When you uograde, you get a link to download the file!
