Key Features
Maximum working width - 61 cm (24") - accommodates the most commonly used vinyl rolls, while the adjustable pinch roller spacing allows optimal material positioning, reducing waste and maximizing material usage. The machine also enables precise matless cutting, even with very narrow vinyl strips starting from 10 cm (4") wide, increasing versatility and productivity. Additionally, the plotter can be equipped with a dedicated stand (sold separately), making roll handling easier. The stand securely holds the material roll and ensures smooth feeding into the machine, significantly improving ergonomics and user comfort.
Matless Cutting - allows vinyl to be cut without a cutting mat and supports various material widths thanks to the adjustable pinch roller spacing, making the plotter highly versatile and compatible with the most popular materials available on the market.
Roll Feeding - ideal for vinyl rolls and other continuous materials.
Wide Material Compatibility - the machine provides precise cutting of paper up to approximately 350 g/m2, self-adhesive paper, adhesive vinyl, Flex, Flock, Subliflex, stencil films, magnetic sheets, scratch-off films, tattoo transfer films, and faux leather materials. It also cuts fabrics, felt, craft foam, and faux leather materials up to approximately 3 mm thick. When used with a cutting mat, the plotter supports a wide range of materials, making it suitable for paper crafting, textile applications, and decorative projects.
The Skycut CX24 stands out for its exceptional cutting precision and quality, making it an ideal solution for product personalization in small and medium-sized businesses.
The machine features an intuitive interface that is easy to operate and requires no specialist knowledge. The included step-by-step user guide makes it beginner-friendly while also providing an excellent solution for hobby users.
Print & Cut Camera - Skycut plotters are equipped with a high-quality camera that enables precise Print & Cut contour cutting. The advanced technology ensures fast and accurate registration mark detection. The camera recognizes registration marks of any color on a variety of materials, including paper, adhesive vinyl, reflective vinyl, Flex, Flock, and even transparent films.
Adjustable Pinch Rollers - each pinch roller can be adjusted independently to match the width of the material, allowing precise matless cutting.
Durable Metal Construction – the metal housing provides greater durability, stability, and a long service life while giving the machine a modern and professional appearance.
Full-Color Touchscreen – the responsive and intuitive touchscreen provides convenient operation and quick access to the plotter's key functions, such as repeating the last operation or creating multiple copies of a design. It also allows automatic duplication in a grid layout (rows and columns) with customizable spacing between objects.
LED Lighting - the built-in LED illumination with selectable colors makes working in low-light conditions or during evening hours much easier. It also improves the accuracy of registration mark detection when using the Print & Cut function.
