Drag Module
Included with every model. Fast, precise kiss cutting and plotting on adhesive vinyl, window film and sandblast material.
Summa F Series tooling
One cutting table.
The right tools for your work.
The F Series is configured around the materials and jobs you need to produce. Dennison will help you select the right module and tool combination, then prove it on your own material at our West Yorkshire demonstration centre.
How it fits together
How an F Series is configured
The table provides the working platform. Modules carry the tools, and the tools decide how each material is cut, creased, routed or marked. Up to three modules can be fitted, so different operations finish in one workflow.
Modules
Choose the module around the work
The head carries up to three at once, so most jobs run without a module change.
Core+ and Fast+ Modules
The two tangential modules. Core+ is the all round precision module with high downforce; Fast+ accelerates vertical movement for detailed, high volume work.
Standard Router Module
1.4 kW routing for rigid signage, display fabrication and industrial components, with clean edges on foam PVC, MDF, acrylic and composite panel.
High Frequency Router Module
3.7 kW at up to 60,000 rpm, roughly twice the speed of the standard router, for demanding rigid material and edge quality.
Rotary Knife Module
A driven rotary blade for the toughest textiles, with minimal horizontal force so the material stays where it was laid.
The line-up
The tools, and what each one is for.
Every figure below is Summa’s, and every one is a maximum under their test conditions. What a given material will actually do is a question for a test cut, which is why we keep a machine here to do them on.
Cutting through and kiss cutting
Drag Knife Tool
Vinyl, film and thin flexible media, cut by dragging the blade through the material.
Drag Module
Kiss-Cut Tool
Cuts the face material and leaves the liner intact, for complex shapes on self-adhesive stock.
Core+ or Fast+Single Edge Cutout Tool
Flexible and rigid media up to 6 mm.
Core+ or Fast+
Double Edge Cutout Tool
Rigid media up to 5 mm.
Core+ or Fast+
Heavy Duty Cutout Tool
Dense media up to 15 mm.
Core+
Rigid Material Cutout Tool
Foam PVC up to 8 mm. Summa’s newest cutout tool, and for many shops it replaces a set of specialty blades.
Core+
High Precision Cutout Tool
Fine detail on material up to 6 mm. A refined blade for thinner substrates, where a heavier one would distort the shape.
Core+ or Fast+
Corrugated Tool
Corrugated board up to 8 mm without oscillation, so no dust and considerably less noise.
Core+Oscillating, for thickness
EOT
Electronic oscillating tool, driven by an electric motor at up to 12,000 rpm over a 1 mm stroke. Cuts through material to 10 mm, and lightweight material to 18 mm.
Core+
POT
Pneumatic oscillating tool. Thick media up to 25 mm.
Core+
POT-L
Thick and soft media from 20 to 42 mm, the deepest cut in the range.
Core+Crease, perforate and angle
Creasing Tool
Creases at a range of depths, so cartons and point of sale fold square.
Core+
Perforating Tool
Perforates thin and thick media, for parts that snap out by hand.
Core+
V-Cut Tool
Angles from 0 to 45 degrees in rigid media up to 27 mm, for folded and mitred constructions.
Core+
Bevel Cut Tool
V-shaped grooves at 45 degrees up to 5 mm.
Core+Route, rotary and mark
Router bits
Acrylic, aluminium composite, MDF and solid board cut to a machined edge. Bits in several diameters, for the 1.4 kW standard router or the 3.7 kW high frequency router.
Router Module
Rotary knives
A driven rotary blade for woven and laminated textiles, with minimal horizontal force so the material stays in register.
Rotary Knife Module
Pen Tool
Fold lines, part numbers and assembly marks drawn straight onto the material while it is still on the bed. A universal holder takes your own pen.
Drag ModuleTool names, descriptions and figures are Summa’s own and are maximums under their conditions. Which tools a machine carries depends on the model and the modules fitted. We confirm both before anything is quoted.
Blades, bits and wheels
The parts that wear.
A tool holds a blade, and the blade is what you replace. Genuine Summa blades, bits and creasing wheels, supplied by Dennison. Tell us the tool and we will tell you which blade it takes.
Test your own material
Bring us the material. We will prove the tooling.
Tell us what you need to cut, crease or route and send us a sample. We will test it on a working F Series, identify the tooling it needs and show you the result before you make a decision.
