Mat Clamp Pressure Adjustment: CMC Z Series

You can toggle the Air Pressure for the Mat Clamps between Standard and Low Pressure with the Mat Clamp Pressure Knob located on the Control Panel on the left side of the Board. 

This will allow you to cut delicate material such as foamcore without crushing the material in the Clamps.

The amount of Air Pressure that the Mat Clamp Pressure Knob uses can be adjusted with the the Clamp Pressure Adjustment mounted under the Control Panel. 

Push in the Clamp Pressure Knob to use the Standard Clamp Air Pressure, which is suitable for most material.   

Pull out the Clamp Pressure Knob to use Low Clamp Air Pressure, which is suitable for more delicate material, such as foamcore. 

Lower pressure is applied to the mat Clamps so that it does not crush the material. 

When you have finished cutting the delicate material you can push in the Clamp Pressure Knob to reapply the standard Air Pressure to the Clamps. 

The Clamp Pressure Adjustment is used to adjust the Low Clamp Air Pressure setting.

The gauge displays the clamp pressure as it is cutting.

To adjust the Clamp Air Pressure, pause the current cut, then pull out and turn the Clamp Pressure Adjustment black knob underneath the Control Panel.

• Turn the Clamp Pressure Adjustment knob clockwise to increase the Air Pressure adjustment

• Turn the Clamp Pressure Adjustment knob counter-clockwise to decrease the Air Pressure adjustment
