The Professional Solution for a Wide Range of Applications

Craft ROBO Pro (CE5000-40-CRP) Overview

Craft ROBO Pro is a 15 inch desktop-sized cutting plotter, ideal for t-shirt makers, business owners, as well as professional sign makers looking for a compact portable solution. Based on Graphtec's CE5000 series of professional cutting plotters, the Craft ROBO Pro has a maximum cutting width of 14.8 inches, maximum speed up to 16 inches per second, and cutting force up to 300 gf.

The Craft ROBO Pro is perfect for all kinds of media cutting applications including vinyl, heat applied t-shirt vinyl, transfer sheets, contour cut stickers, labels, wrappers, and gift tags, scrapbooking, architectural modeling, pattern cutting for paint masking and etching masking, and many others.

The Craft ROBO Pro cutter features an Automatic Registration Mark Sensor (ARMS). This sensor enables the cutter to detect registration marks on printed images for precise contour cutting around the design. Combine the Craft ROBO Pro with your desktop printer to make large format (up to A3) or multiple apparel graphics, stickers, decals, contour die-cuts, 3D models and more.

The Craft ROBO Pro's ARMS prepares to contour cut a design.

The user friendly control panel also has an interactive LCD menu. The cutting speed, force, and offset value can be pre-programmed for each of the common materials you cut.
