Need Help Envision 375 Calibration tool

[Muzza]

Hi team, how are we all doing out there? Muzz here, brand new to Signs101.com so let's give this a shot. Down here in New Zealand, 1000 miles west of Australia we are kind of left to ourselves so I thought I would reach out and see if any of you know what the weight is of the 'knife calibration tool' for a Gerber Envision plotter. It has got abit confused and wants to cut right through the liner.
Any info would be greatly appreciated and make weeding that much easier.
Thank you all and have a great day

Attached is a photo of the Gerber Envision 375 Calibration Weight tool I have and use but..... It has no markings on it at all to tell the weight or even a model number.

You can still order these online but they were around $180 online

Hey thanks for your reply. Yeah I see them online but when I added shipping to New Zealand and the exchange rate......about $500 NZD. so trying to be inventive kept
calibrating with random weight until it cut correctly, for a short time then went back to it's erratic behaviour. I'm guessing they aren't 430g (15oz)!!
thanks again, enjoy your day.

I have an envision plotter but hardly use it anymore...curious though as I have never heard of this device...what is the perpose of it?

Hi, this weight is used to calibrate the z-axis of the knife carriage. The down force on the blade, very precise apparently. If you ever change the carriage you do this.
Abit more advanced than the 4B when you just kept stacking weights on until the blunt blade cuts through..........

A tech told me 7.5 oz or 212.621423 grams

Hey thanks for that. I will re-calibrate with that weight and let you know.
Cheers, Muzz

do you have a kitchen scale? that would answer the question. most of my gerber "toolkits go back to the plotters that worked with the edge's or the smc's
i can't help on this one
