i-TECH traffic cutters are specifically designed for cutting the variety of materials used in highway and traffic signs, including prismatic reflective materials. The cutters incorporate high-torque digital servos and high-force voice coil-cutting heads that utilize Allen’s exclusive high-frequency PWM drivers and photovoltaic closed loop feedback controls. This ensures accurate force control when using high-force settings.

These cutters also use an improved friction drive with five pinch wheels.

The Hot Tip option is a digitally-controlled cutting stylus that "heat-cuts" and edge-seals your material at the same time. It will process a wide selection of media that cannot be processed by a standard sign plotter. It is fast and precise, reducing labor and handling costs.

• Highway/ traffic sign materials
  • Highly reflective, high-intensity sheeting, like 3M Diamond Grade™
• Woven synthetic textiles
  • Tackle twill
  • Nylon
  • Polyester
  • And more
• Sign / graphics media
  • Laminated digital prints
  • Whenever a sealed edge is required

The digitally-controlled Hot Tip combined with the precision of the GoldTouch Head delivers the accuracy, speed and control you need to process those special materials. Each system is pre-tested and calibrated at the factory. Changing the settings to process various materials is as easy as adjusting the speed and force settings. The cutter's intuitive control panel keeps it all very user-friendly. When you're ready to go from Hot Tip cutting to knife cutting, pen plotting or pattern pouncing, just change the tool.

These cutters are complete, full-featured, high-performance cutting systems. They are delivered with all the processing tools, as standard. All accessories, Allen's advanced cutter control software, DirectCUT Windows XP/2000 Driver and deluxe stand are included. Plus, all cutters come with a full two-year warranty.
