Front View of RZCAM Computer Cutter

RZCAM flatbed series computer cutter is an automated numerical control equipment specially designed for cutting
patterns of shoes/garment/case/handbag industry. It adopts a self-developed embedded numerical control system, as
well as CPU and precise electronic components imported from the U.S., with its stability and operability reaching a
leading technical level at home and abroad. The cutter adopts imported linear rail combined with imported
synchronous belt drive, offering a complete zero error cutting prevision for traveling from and to the zero point. The
cutting speed can reach up to 60-100cm/s. It is safe and stable, with clear double-line LCD, elegant numerical
control interface, standard I/O interface, and supports HP-GL and GP-GL format. The cutter can be connected with
any CAD software, and its operation is simple and easy-to-learn. Currently, it is widely applied to the pattern cutting
of such industries as shoe-making, garment, case, handbag etc.

After you have purchased any model of the RZCAM flatbed series computer cutter, please be sure to read this
Manual carefully so that you can use this product properly and safely and fully understand its performance.

 Cutter Structure
RZCAM cutting plotter is composed of the following components:

Cutter bracket + Cutter platform + RZCAM numerical control system + Drive mechanism + Cutter head
(Automatic switch between blade and pen)

1. Overall design of this machine is accomplished by specialized mechanical designer, offering a streamline
appearance and a flexible platform bracket with free-moving wheels. When user wants to change its position,
he/she only needs to open the wheel lock and gently push the cutting plotter to the desired position, which is
convenient and practical.

2. Cutting platform of this machine is equipped with several groups of horizontal adjusting mechanism. During
horizontal adjustment of the cutting plane, the level can be adjusted at any time according to the requirements of
the cutting plane, which overcomes the shortcoming that the platform cannot be adjusted after leaving the
factory.

3. This machine adopts a self-developed embedded numerical control system, as well as CPU and precise
electronic components imported from the U.S. It has simple and easy-to-learn operating interface, with its
stability and operability reaching a leading technical level at home and abroad.

4. The steady and smooth running of the drive part directly determines the cutting output quality of the cutter.
This machine adopts imported linear rail as the moving structure in X and Y direction, which, combined with

1
 the imported synchronous belt, enables greater cutting precision.

5. The cutting head of this machine adopts a new technology where an automatic switch device is provided for
the blade and pen, which means it can be automatically switched to half blade cutting after pen drawing is
finished, and automatically switched to full blade cutting after half blade cutting is finished. In addition, cutting
blade forces can be set for any eight types of materials, enabling you to finish all drawing and cutting work at
one time.

alcohol;

(3) Do not place foreign objects such as scissor etc. on the surface of the cutting platform to avoid contact
with the cutting head when starting the machine;

(4) Do not plug or unplug the power plug when the line is energized;

(5) Do not place the cutter in humid and dusty environment;

(6) If malfunction of the machine occurs, please restart the machine. If the problem persists, please contact
the supplier;

(7) If the machine makes abnormal sound or its movement is obstructed, be sure to cut off the power supply

29
 immediately and stop using the machine. Contact the supplier immediately;

(8) Maintenance of the linear rail: This machine adopts imported rail materials and technology, which
features high precision and seamless technology etc. Attention should be paid to cleaning and
maintenance during usage. Normally, the rail should be lubricated once every half month. Details
regarding specific operation techniques will be taught by trainers during in-house training.
