1.2 Composition
TK4S series digital cutting machine series is composed of Electrical box, Main body, Vacuum and Auxiliary devices.
Software includes file processing part and machine controlling part.
According to user’s demand, one or more tools can be used: Tangent Tool, Oscillating Tool, Kiss-Cut Tool, Router,
V-Cut Tool, Creasing Tool, Driven Rotary Tool, North & Drill Tool, Pen.
User can scan the bar code created by RIP software.
1.3 Working Principles
Import the files into SmartCut/iBrightCut, the user can process the files (editing and nesting) and send the processed
cutting files to CutterServer. According to the cutting files, the controlling system will create motion control signals. With
the signals, servo motors execute the tools lift/down and modules movement. Thereby, the machine achieves the high-
speed and high-precision cutting

2. Preparation
2.1 Installation Location
Make sure that the following requirements are met:
•the installation location is level and can withstand the floor loads.
•the transportation routes to the installation location do not include steps or staircases.
•the shipping crates can be deposited close to the installation location and their presence does not
prevent the machine from being assembled.
•the aisle width from the unloading location to the installation location is at a minimum the width
required for the dimensions of the packing crates.
•the electrical and air connections meet the requirements listed in the technical data.
•the installation location is well-lit.
•At least 1 meter of space is available all around the cutting system for service and daily operation.
2.2 Personnel
Make sure that the following requirements are met:
•the support personnel wear safety clothing and work gloves.
•the support personnel are familiar with the hazards associated during machine installation and have
read and understood the mounting instructions.
