Graphtec FC7000 speed

[Ken1f]

Recently purchased the 7000-130 54" cutter. All works well except when I want to move the cutting head using the function keys. The head moves very slowly. It takes about 25 sec. to move 1 foot. Not a lot of fun when you are in a hurry. I looked thru the menu screen and didn't find anything to change this. Is this normal for the graphtec or am I missing something.

Thanks for any help

what program are you using?

Isn't that a two button Function? I Think its "NEXT+ARROW KEY" Simultaniously for faster head movement. (Just got my new FC700 plotter and still playing with it) Yah , thats it! Gees, MTM.... don't scare me with more stuff like "Manual Commands" being overtaken by software! I'm trying to just calibrate the damn thing.

yeh it should be simple. Although sometimes in flexi the production manager can effect the cutter. I 've been wrong before though.

What does the manual say? Wow, right there on page 3.2 it tell you to hold down the 'Next' key down at the same time as the position arrows to move at flank speed. Fancy that.

Signoasaurus: thanks for the help.

Bob: Sorry for the dumb question. I was under the impression that this website was a place where we help each other. Didn't realize that there was someone out there that would spend the time finding an answer just to leave a smartass answer.

Don't let it get to you Ken, Most everyone here is very helpful. Sometimes one of us gets a pantyknot or need more fiber in the diet and the result winds up in someones post. LOL:Big Laugh
