Graphtec FC2250-60VC

Graphtec FC2250-60VC Flatbed Cutting Plotter

The Graphtec FC2250-60VC is a professional large-format flatbed cutting plotter designed for precision cutting, marking, and creasing across a wide range of industrial and commercial materials. With a 610 × 920 mm effective cutting area and a dual-tool configuration, it provides flexible processing capabilities for packaging prototypes, apparel patterns, industrial films, signage, stencils, and other specialized applications.

The FC2250 series features a digital servo system, high mechanical resolution, and adjustable cutting pressure. The FC2250-60VC model uses a vacuum suction system to help hold compatible media securely on the table during processing. Its two-tool design supports different pressure requirements, with a maximum force of 4.9 N (500 gf) for Tool 1 and 9.8 N (1 kgf) for Tool 2.

Key Features
