# II. Precision & Process Pain Points (Top Concerns of Production Side)

Q: What causes frequent skewed cuts in camera contour cutting with cutting plotters? Can it be solved?

A: Conventional infrared positioning cutting plotters have low tolerance for printed marks and material deformation, which easily leads to skewed cuts. Yitu machines adopt a camera vision positioning system that directly captures and identifies printed registration marks and automatically compensates for material offset. Accurate contour cutting can be achieved as long as marks are clearly printed. Complete calibration tutorials are provided for quick adjustment if offset occurs.

Q: The cutting depth is inconsistent; some areas are fully cut through while others remain uncut. How to fix this?

A: Unstable cutting depth mainly results from improper blade pressure settings, worn blades and uneven pinch roller pressure. Yitu industrial cutting plotters support fine adjustment of pressure parameters. All machines undergo aging tests before delivery. Technicians remotely assist in tuning blade pressure and speed. Original blade spare parts are continuously supplied to ensure consistent engraving depth.

Q: Will paper misalignment happen during long continuous runs with the cutting plotter?

A: The motor, transmission structure and pinch rollers directly determine feeding stability over long distances. Servo-driven models have stronger resistance to deformation. Dual pinch rollers clamp roll materials and reduce the risk of misalignment for long rolls. Stable long-hour operation can be maintained under proper maintenance. Remote program updates are supported to optimize machine performance.

Q: What causes burrs and stringing on cut edges?

A: Burrs and stringing are usually caused by dull blades, mismatched speed and pressure parameters, and abnormal material tension. You can replace original blades and adjust cutting speed and blade pressure. Technicians provide remote guidance for parameter optimization to achieve clean, crisp cutting results.

# III. OEM/ODM Branding & Questions for Export Customers

Q: Does the cutting plotter support OEM branding and ODM function customization?

A: Yes. Yitu is an original manufacturer. We can customize machine logo, boot screen, body color and program functions to meet brand owners’ OEM demands. For ODM projects, we evaluate development lead time and support program iteration during production.

Q: Can non-standard functional modifications be made to cutting plotters for special materials?

A: Yes. Customers provide processing samples and process parameters. Our R&D team evaluates feasibility and fine-tunes programs and feeding mechanisms, and provides corresponding solutions, production lead time and quotations.

Q: Do cutting plotters hold relevant certifications for overseas export?

A: The machines are fully certified with CE-EMC, ICE, C-FCC and EU RoHS, complying with market access requirements for Europe, America and other overseas markets. Foreign trade customers may use these certificates directly for customs clearance and factory audits by overseas buyers.

# IV. Training, Warranty & After-sales Service (Reduce Procurement Risks)
