Graphtec Ce1000-60 May 2026

While the CE1000-60 uses a drag-knife mechanism (as opposed to a true tangential cutter), it features a "Tangential Emulation" setting. This software feature instructs the cutter to lift and rotate the blade at sharp corners rather than twisting it while dragging. This results in cleaner corners on thick materials and reduces wear on the blade tip.

How to load media and perform a test cut: Graphtec Ce1000-60

  • Test Cut: Press TEST to cut a square and circle. If it weeds easily without cutting the backing paper, you are set.
  • Send File: Send your design from software (Sure Cuts a Lot, VinylMaster, or Flexi) using the GP-GL driver.

  • While cheaper cutters use stepper motors (which lose torque at high speeds and can skip steps), the CE1000-60 uses a digital servo motor. Servo motors provide constant torque. This means: While the CE1000-60 uses a drag-knife mechanism (as

    The friction-feed system on this machine is legendary. It uses a metal grit roller and a pinch roller system that never wears out. You can load a 50-meter roll of vinyl, set it, and walk away. The machine will track perfectly straight for the entire length—something cheap machines cannot guarantee. Test Cut: Press TEST to cut a square and circle

    The CE1000-60 is designed to integrate seamlessly with major CAD and graphic design software ecosystems.

    The Graphtec CE1000-60 is a 24-inch (approximately 610 mm) cutting plotter manufactured by Graphtec Corporation, a leader in the field of industrial data acquisition and imaging instruments. This model serves as an evolution of the Craft ROBO and CE-Lite series, designed to meet the demands of professional users who require higher cutting speeds and increased downforce compared to consumer-grade machines. It is specifically engineered for short-run production of signage, vehicle graphics, apparel decoration (heat transfer vinyl), and prototype packaging.
