It's not the cutting that I'm having an issue with, it's the auto take up reel. I want the take up reel to function the way it does in the example video from graphtec. However, in the instructional video they created, it only says to enable the take up sensor, then execute take up before...

I know this is an old thread, but can anyone tell me how to get the auto take up reel on the FC9000 to perform the take up during a cut? I just got it installed and so far have only been able to get it to perform the take up when the job is complete. I'm cutting anywhere from 50-150ft jobs at...

So I guess I should clarify a little bit. The Graphtec I'm currently using for this job is really old, and the summas we have are S2 T-series. I don't have any experience with the newest versions of the FC9000 series (although we do have an older one that doesn't track as well as the even older...
