How to Use the HYZO HAS 35D Cutting Plotter: Step-by-Step Guide
1. Initial Setup
A) Placement and Connection:
- Place the machine on a sturdy, flat surface with enough surrounding space for easy operation.
- Connect the plotter to a power source using the provided power cable.
- Ensure you have a stable connection via USB, Wi-Fi, or U-Disk, depending on your preference.
B) Powering On:
- Turn on the machine using the power button.
- Wait for the touchscreen display (5×10 screen) to show the main menu.
2. Preparing Materials for Cutting
A) Selecting and Preparing Sheets:
- Choose the type of paper or material for cutting. Ensure it is compatible with the machine’s cutting force (up to 500 grams).
- Align a stack of up to 150 sheets in the auto feed system.
B) Using the Vacuum Technology:
- Activate the vacuum system to securely hold the sheets in place. This prevents material shifting during cutting.
C) Setting Up the Double Head System:
- If your project requires cutting and creasing (e.g., box production), configure the double head system accordingly.
3. Design and Data Preparation
A) Software Configuration:
- Open the included SignMaster Software on your computer.
- Create your design or import a pre-existing file (e.g., AI, SVG, or PDF format).
B) Adding Cutting Marks:
- Use the AI Camera to scan and register cutting marks for precise alignment.
- For projects with QR codes, ensure the QR code is clear and visible for the machine to read.
C) Uploading the Design:
- Send your design to the machine via USB, Wi-Fi, or UDisk, depending on your setup.
4. Adjusting Cutting Settings
A) Set the Cutting Size:
- Adjust the cutting size to 35×50 cm or as required by your project.
B) Select Cutting Force and Speed:
- Set the cutting force (up to 500 grams) to suit the material thickness.
- Adjust the speed to up to 120 cm/sec for optimal efficiency.
C) Verify the Settings:
- Confirm all settings on the touchscreen display for accuracy before starting.
5. Starting the Cutting Process
A) Initiate the Process:
- Press the start button on the machine to begin the cutting process.
B) Monitor Progress:
- Observe the touchscreen for real-time updates. The servo motor ensures smooth, precise movements.
C) Handling Multiple Sheets:
- The auto feed system will automatically process up to 150 sheets, outputting finished sheets into the output tray.
6. Collecting and Finishing
- Once the process is complete, remove the finished sheets from the output tray.
- Inspect the sheets to ensure all cuts and creases meet your expectations.
7. Maintenance and Care
A) Cleaning:
- Regularly clean the machine and vacuum system to remove any debris or dust.
- Wipe down the touchscreen and external surfaces with a soft, dry cloth.
B) Blade Care:
- Check the cutting blades periodically for sharpness and replace them if needed.
C) Software Updates:
- Keep the SignMaster Software updated to ensure compatibility and access to the latest features.
Tips for Efficient Usage:
- Test Small Batches: Run a test batch of sheets before committing to large projects.
- Double Check QR Codes: Ensure QR codes are clear and scannable for accurate processing.
- Optimize Design Files: Simplify designs to minimize cutting time and ensure smooth operation.
