Roland gx-24 vinyl cutter
Measures the distance between the pinch wheels and the blade will not move into any position once it has reached the far left. This is especially helpful if you are working with a scrap piece of material, or a one-yard cut. Measures the length and width of your material via all three sensors. The machine assumes you know how much yardage you have and that you will input that information into the Cut Studio program if your design exceeds the cutting area available. This will accomplish a quick width measurement and will automatically put your blade in position for a test cut or to set the origin. Measures the distance between the pinch wheels and moves the blade to the far left edge of the material. When you first load material into the GX24, you will see on the display screen say, ‘Select Sheet’ and you have the option to choose Edge, Piece, or Roll by pushing the up or down arrow key. The carriage head sensor measures the distance between the two pinch wheels, which is essentially, your workable width. The front and back apron sensors measure the length of your yardage. There is one sensor located on the front apron, one on the back apron (plastic bottom panels) and one in the carriage head.
