Mat Clamp Pressure Adjustment: CMC Z Series
This page describes how to use the Mat Clamp Pressure Adjustment on the Control Panel of the left side of the CMC Z Series Board to adjust the SmartClamps™ Pressure.
The Control Panel is located on the left side of the CMC Z Series Board.
The Control Panel contains the Emergency Stop button, Clamp Pressure Adjustment, Mat Clamp Pressure Knob and the Push to Cut Button.
Setting the Mat Clamp Pressure
You can toggle the Air Pressure for the SmartClamps™ 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.
Standard Clamp Pressure
Push in the Clamp Pressure Knob to use the Standard Clamp Air Pressure, which is suitable for most material.
Low Clamp Pressure
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.
Clamp Pressure Adjustment
The Clamp Pressure Adjustment is used to adjust the Low Clamp Air Pressure setting.
The Clamp Pressure Adjustment is part of the Control Panel on the left side of the CMC Z-Series Board.
The gauge displays the clamp pressure as it is cutting.
Clamp pressure is set at the factory and normally doesn’t need adjustment.
