Overview
Graphtec FCX2000 Flatbed Cutting System
The Graphtec FCX2000 Series is a professional flatbed cutting solution designed for packaging prototypes, decals, labels, POS displays, signmaking, and short-run production applications.
Unlike traditional roll-fed vinyl cutters, the FCX2000 is engineered to process semi-rigid and thicker materials with exceptional accuracy and media stability. With vacuum suction or electrostatic media hold-down options, the FCX range enables precise cutting, creasing, scoring, and contour cutting across a wide range of specialist materials.
Ideal for prototyping and short production runs, the FCX2000 eliminates the need for costly cutting dies while significantly reducing setup times and material waste.
The FCX Series is widely used for:
- Packaging prototypes and carton design
- Motocross and powersports graphics
- Reflective and laminated graphics
- Labels and decals
- POS and display production
- Short-run packaging and print finishing
Available Models
- FCX2000-60VC (Vacuum) - 610mm x 920mm
- FCX2000-120VC (Vacuum) - 1200mm x 920mm
- FCX2000-120ES (Electro-Static) - 1200mm x 920mm
- FCX2000-180VC (Vacuum) - 1800mm x 920mm
Key Benefits
- Flatbed cutting and creasing system
- Processes thicker and semi-rigid materials
- Vacuum or electrostatic media hold-down
- High-precision contour cutting with ARMS
- Creasing and scoring tool compatibility
- Offline USB operation
- Includes Graphtec Studio & Cutting Master software
- Ideal for prototyping and short-run production
Applications & Features
Built for More Than Vinyl Cutting
The FCX2000 is designed for applications where standard roll-fed cutters can struggle. Its flatbed design provides superior media control for difficult materials, helping to maintain accuracy during cutting and creasing operations.
Applications include:
- Thick laminated motocross graphics
- Reflective and specialist films
- Packaging mock-ups and carton prototyping
- Card stock and corrugated board
- Labels, decals, and contour-cut graphics
- Short-run packaging production
Advanced ARMS Registration System
Graphtec’s Advanced Registration Mark Sensing (ARMS) technology delivers highly accurate contour cutting of pre-printed graphics and packaging designs.
Additional ARMS functions include:
- Reverse-side cutting and creasing
- Expanded contour cutting areas
- Registration mark detection for reflective and glossy materials
- ARMS Copy Function for improved production efficiency
Precision Cutting & Creasing
The FCX2000 supports cutting, creasing, scoring, and plotting using a range of dedicated tools and up to 1kg of cutting force.
This allows users to process materials including:
- Card stock
- Corrugated board
- Reflective vinyls
- Laminated graphics
- Semi-rigid media
Included Software
The FCX2000 includes:
- Graphtec Pro Studio
- Cutting Master 4
- Graphtec Studio (Mac)
These applications provide streamlined workflows for contour cutting, packaging design, and production output.
