Sc Series 50" Cutter very bad tracking.Need some help please!

Recommended Posts

I have a SC series cutter and everything is ok with it, but it is so horrible at tracking, it ruined a lot of vinyl for me even with simple design, I have been researching a lot and people suggest to run vinyl first and when I do that it gets off of track right away, and I try to keep vinyl roll as straight as possible and unroll it and everything, but it still does that, sometimes a little better,sometimes just very bad. I called USCutter and they told me to tight up the pinch rollers. Even though pinch rollers seem to be pretty tight I did so but it didn't change anything it only left really deep roller marks on the vinyl. I just wonder if people had similar problems with SC plotters and how they deal with them, I might be doing something wrong and I would be happy for any help,,, Thank you!

The very first thing I suggest is verify the grit roller is secured onto its axle.

Some allen screws hold it into place, check that they're tight.

 

Tracking is a matter of getting those pinchrollers set up evenly, with approx. equal pressures.

When I actually turned the machine around I saw how unevenly screws were tight up. I tight them on the same level and tried to run the vinyl and I saw the difference! Now it runs just fine, when later on I get some orders I'll check how it going to be when design is cutting. But I really hope that was the deal. Thank you so much for the help!

Before I lose my ever lasting mind......How the heck am I going to get the rollers even. I have adjusted and adjusted but the vinyl still goes way off track. Any advice will help!
