Wanted Graphtec Pinch Roller

[0sparetime]

Hey guys, I know it's a long shot but I picked up a Graphtec FC5100-75 for $150. It works great as a backup but it only has two pinch rollers. I'd like to find one more. Any chance anyone has one they would part with?

Thanks in advance.

I looked at this for a fc7000 130 not quite as easy as first look
You need one from the same type of machine then you need to make it invisible to the set up firmware else it thinks it the outer roller.
Two types of optical sensors don' know which for your machine.
Bit of a tis to fit but should work I never found a spare and graphtec very expensive and reluctant to sell as not a standard fit for the part

You don't need nor do you want three rollers on a 30" machine. The two rollers work just fine, adding a third does nothing but add something else that can go wrong.

Iv'e been wrangling 30" machines for many years and there has never, as in ever, been a time when I needed or wanted anymore rollers than two.

Gotcha Bob,
I had one of these before and I thought it had three rollers. I guess i'm mistaken.

You can optionally add another pinch roller on 30 inch Graphtec FC plotter, and set do this frequently for municipal sign shops that deal almost exclusively with reflective signs. But most sign shops do fine with just the 2 standard pinch wheels.
