The Summa F Series is engineered to handle both rigid and roll media with surgical precision. Packed with automated workflow features and a versatile, interchangeable tool system, it enables print and visual display businesses to expand their production capabilities with a high-productivity finishing solution.
Whether you are looking to introduce digital cutting for the first time or upgrade to a more industrial platform, the F Series represents one of the industry's most advanced and "future-proof" investments.
True Tangential Technology: The Summa Advantage
Summa is a global pioneer in tangential cutting, and the F Series is no exception. Using a vertical force of 10kg and a wide range of specialized tools, the F Series delivers a level of accuracy that standard cutters simply cannot match.
Our technical assessment confirms that the modular cutting head—capable of holding three modules simultaneously—is a significant productivity driver. It allows operators to complete complex jobs involving routing, creasing, and cutting in a single pass, eliminating the downtime associated with manual tool changes.
Bespoke to Your Business Needs
Available in five bed sizes to suit any print environment, the F Series offers impressive scope for customisation. While the standard drag knife effortlessly handles vinyl and card, the system’s real power lies in its modularity:
- Producing foamboard or acrylic? The high-speed Router tool is the ideal choice.
- Focusing on stickers and transfer graphics? The Kiss-cut tool provides 0.02mm repeatability.
- Working with thick board or composite sheets? The heavy-duty Pneumatic tool is designed for industrial-grade substrates.
Designed for the Day-to-Day: Software & Safety
High-productivity hardware demands equally efficient software. The included GoProduce interface integrates seamlessly with your existing design files to manage cutting paths, assign tools, and track material databases via an intuitive touchscreen.
The F Series also prioritises operator security without sacrificing speed. Every machine features an advanced, multi-zone safety system compliant with worldwide health and safety requirements, ensuring your workflow stays protected and your staff stay safe.
