Digital Cutter – SummaCut

SummaCut™ plotter are ideal for sign makers who require a high-performance cutter with the speed, precision and durability needed to create vinyl signs, banners and vehicle lettering in volume production environments. Packed with unique state-of-the-art features, SummaCut plotters are ideal for companies that don't need tangential cutting or the OPOS contour cutting alignment features that are available with our SummaSign® Pro cutters. But by every other measure, SummaCut is a true Pro level machine with technical advantages that no other cutters in the world can offer, at any price.

Guaranteed Repeatability: SummaCut plotters have the same patented drive drum system found in our Pro cutters, so you can cut individual plot files up to 8 meter long with guaranteed pin-point accuracy. Or send multiple files, and cut an entire roll without fear of skewing off the pinch rollers.

Easy Media Loading: Integrated media rollers and our unique roll-end flanges make straight media loading fast and easy. Combined with our super-accurate tracking, you'll never baby-sit another plot, even at top speed.

Volume Throughput: At up to 113cm per second, the super-affordable SummaCut cranks out vinyl faster than most manufacturers' best machines.

Professional Digital Cutters – SummaSign Pro

To be a Professional, it takes more than simply including it in our product name. It takes real innovation and the out-and-out drive to be the best. That overriding Summa philosophy has put our SummaSign® Pro cutters in a class of their own.

Performance: SummaSign Pro handles advanced sign applications with unparalleled speed, precision and versatility, even under years of intense, daily use. Powerful dual servomotors cut up to 1437mm per second while maintaining pinpoint accuracy to a minimum of 12m in length. Summa's patented drive drum system tracks better than any other media feed system - including tractor-feed and active-steering systems that cannot fully correct for poor tracking performance.

Technical Innovation: SummaSign Pro is the only drum-feed cutter in the world with optional tangential cutting. Often found in expensive flatbed cutters, tangential cutting uses a motorized head that lifts and turns the blade for perfect angled cuts, which drag-knife cutters can't match. If you're looking for precise tangential cutting, SummaSign Pro is the only cutter you'll want to consider.

Contour Cutting: The optional OPOS optical positioning system automatically aligns printed images and labels for exacting contour cuts. OPOS scans registration marks on printed vinyl to determine exact positioning, then SummaSign Pro's advanced firmware programming adjusts the plot file to compensate for image rotation and scaling. It's automatic, far more accurate than manual alignment systems, and exclusively available with SummaSign Pro.

Special Features with SummaSign Pro:

Available Tangential Cutting technology
Available OPOS™ automated contour cutting alignment system
OptiCut™ overcut feature that automatically compensates for blade wear
Summa Cutter Control software
