Vinyl Cutting Plotters
Laser Cutting Plotter
The WH500L to WH980L series are vinyl cutting plotters with steel axes and a 32-bit ARM7 control board. They cut organic materials up to 0.5 mm thick at a speed of 0-800 mm/s.
Product Overview
What This Machine Is Built To Do
The WH500L to WH980L series are vinyl cutting plotters with steel axes and a 32-bit ARM7 control board. They cut organic materials up to 0.5 mm thick at a speed of 0-800 mm/s. The machines feature a 0-1000 g pressure range and a manual red dot positioning system for contour work. With 4MB memory and offline capability, they run without a PC connection. The unit supports USB, serial, and wireless transfer, and holds data in memory even when power is lost.
- High precision steel axes maintain blade alignment during long contour runs on soft materials
- 0-1000 g pressure range allows the same machine to cut thin vinyl and thicker reflective film
- Offline cutting capability lets operators load jobs and run without a connected computer
- Data retention in memory prevents job loss if the workshop power cuts out mid-cut
- Red dot positioning provides a visual method for aligning contour cuts on printed media
- Support for Artcut, Flexi, CorelDRAW and Adobe Illustrator fits existing sign workflows
Where It Is Used
Application Scenarios
- Producing light box graphics and backlit film for retail signage
- Cutting mobile phone skins and small decorative stickers in batches
- Creating car decals and window graphics from printed vinyl rolls
- Engraving reflective film for road signs and safety markers
- Cutting dust cloth covers for industrial equipment maintenance
- Preparing CAD sketches and paper models for design review
Buyer Fit
Who It Is For
- Sign shops that need contour cutting capability for printed graphics
- Advertising workshops producing light box panels and exhibition materials
- Small manufacturers cutting vinyl labels and stickers for product packaging
- Dealers who stock versatile plotters for both thin film and thicker media
- Operators who need to run jobs without a dedicated PC station

Process Problems
Problems It Solves
- Power failures during long jobs no longer waste material because data is saved in memory
- Thick materials that stall standard plotters are cut using the 0-1000 g pressure range
- Contour alignment errors are reduced by using the red dot positioning method
- Dependency on a connected PC is removed by offline cutting and USB file transfer
- Noise in small workshops is lowered by the advanced allocation and smooth cutting design
- Compatibility issues are minimized by supporting DM-PL and HP-GL drawing commands

Working Process
From File To Finished Part
Load the vinyl roll or sheet onto the feed rollers
Align the media using the manual red dot position method
Import the design file via USB, serial, or wireless transfer
Set the cutting pressure between 0 and 1000 g for the material
Run the cut offline or start the job from the control panel
Weed the cut parts from the backing paper after completion
Quality Control
Quality Control Before Shipment

Comparison
How It Compares With The Alternatives
| Laser engraving machine | The plotter cuts mechanically without heat, so it does not melt synthetic vinyl or leave burnt edges |
|---|---|
| Manual cutting table | The automated axes hold 0.0254 mm accuracy and 0-800 mm/s speed, which is impossible by hand |
| PC-dependent plotters | The 4MB memory allows offline cutting, freeing up the computer for other design work |
Operating Notes
Use Guide
- Keep the blade sharp to prevent dragging on soft double layer materials
- Use the red dot position to align printed contours before starting the cut
- Adjust pressure to the minimum needed to cut through the material cleanly
- Save designs to the U disk for offline cutting to avoid PC connection issues
- Check the 16 micro step motor settings if re-positioning drifts beyond ±0.1 mm
- Clean the feed rollers regularly to maintain grip on thin vinyl film
