Totaalleverancier voor grootformaat printoplossingen
De Roland CAMM-1 GR2 Serie snijplotters is beschikbaar in 1594 mm (GR2-540) en 1782 mm (GR2-640) rolbreedtes. Perfect voor signmakers die folies willen snijden voor belettering, kledingdecoratie, raamfolie of voertuiggraphics in extra grote formaten.
A powerful and versatile large‑format vinyl cutter, the Roland CAMM‑1 GR2 series (models GR2‑540 & GR2‑640) delivers high-speed precision, strong cutting force, and seamless integration with print‑then‑cut workflows. Ideal for signage, vehicle graphics, stickers, apparel transfers & more.
The GR2 series is designed for businesses that demand both speed and versatility. By offering extremely fast cut speeds, strong cutting force, and reliable precision, these machines reduce production time and increase throughput — helping sign shops, print shops, vehicle wrap installers, and promotional graphics businesses deliver more, faster, without sacrificing quality.
Its integration into print‑then‑cut workflows means fewer manual adjustments, less waste (thanks to accurate crop‑mark detection), and consistent results across jobs. For companies expanding into new material types (reflective vinyl, sandblast masks, heavier laminates), the GR2 opens up new product opportunities.
Moreover, Roland’s reputation for reliability and good warranty support adds long‑term value. The total cost of ownership is competitive when factoring in productivity gains, reduced errors, and the durability of the toolset and parts.
Here are the technical strengths and capabilities that set GR2 apart:
The GR2 Series is well-suited to a broad range of applications:
What makes GR2 stand out:
The GR2 series can cut a wide variety of materials — standard adhesive vinyl, reflective or fluorescent vinyl, sandblast mask, heat‑transfer vinyl (including glitter or flock), window tint, etc. The maximum thickness (including backing) is 0.8 mm. For very specialty or hard materials, success depends on proper blade, correct cutting settings (force, speed), and whether the backing is stiff enough to handle the cut.
Very accurate: thanks to the Automatic Aligning System II (AAS II), the CAMM‑1 GR2 automatically detects crop marks (rows) and adjusts to ensure contour cutting aligns with the printed artwork. Distance accuracy is better than ±0.1 % of the distance travelled or ±0.254 mm (whichever is greater), and repeatability is within 0.1 mm. This helps reduce errors, waste, and improves consistency.
The main difference is in media width and roll handling. The GR2‑640 supports wider media (up to ~1,782 mm) and heavier roll weights than the GR2‑540 (max ~1,594 mm). Otherwise, most core performance specs — blade force, cutting speed, resolution, etc. — are essentially the same. If you frequently handle very wide graphics (e.g. wide banners, full vehicle width wraps), the 640 gives more headroom.
The GR2 series comes with Roland’s CutStudio software, plus plug‑ins for Adobe Illustrator and CorelDRAW. It also integrates well with RIP software like VersaWorks. For print‑then‑cut workflows, crop‑mark detection via AAS II is supported. Connectivity includes Ethernet and USB. Manual, firmware, and driver updates are available from Roland’s support sites.
Key maintenance tasks include replacing blades when they dull (especially after cutting abrasive or reflective materials), regularly cleaning and ensuring sensors (including AAS II) stay clean and free of obstructions, checking the pinch rollers for consistent tension and alignment, and keeping firmware/software up to date. Proper handling of media and backing ensures longer tool life. Also, operating environment should be kept within Roland‑recommended temperature and humidity ranges to avoid material warp or sensor errors.
During operation, the noise level is up to 56 dB(A), dropping to ~40 dB(A) in standby. While this is relatively moderate and acceptable for many workshop environments, in very quiet customer‑facing areas it might still be audible during heavy cutting jobs. Proper placement, sound dampening, or separating machine space from customer areas can help.
The GR2 series operates on AC 100‑240 V ±10%, 50/60 Hz. Power consumption is about 110 W. Dimensionally, the GR2‑640 is roughly 1,982 × 756 × 1,127 mm, weight ~69 kg; GR2‑540 is about 1,711 × 651 × 1,111 mm, weight ~60 kg. Also consider extra room for media feeding, stand, operation, maintenance access.
Roland DG provides a Three‑Year Trouble‑Free Warranty on the GR2 series (registration required in many regions). Support also includes firmware and driver updates, technical documentation, manuals, setting guides and troubleshooting resources. Dealers may offer extended service/maintenance contracts.
Compared to many mid‑range or older large format cutters, the GR2 offers higher cutting force (600 gf), higher maximum speed (up to 1,530 mm/s), more advanced crop mark detection (AAS II), and larger media capacity. Many competitors may lag in one or more of those areas — particularly in force, width, or workflow software integration. If your jobs involve specialty materials, or large graphics, these features translate into more capability and less rework.
It depends on your workload and growth ambitions. If you are doing many small jobs with simple vinyl, perhaps a smaller cutter would suffice. But if you plan to expand into vehicle wraps, reflective signage, large‑format display graphics, or want efficient print‑then‑cut workflows, the GR2 provides capability that allows you to take on more demanding work. The initial investment will be higher, but the potential to increase revenue, reduce waste, and improve turnaround time often makes it worthwhile. Be sure to plan for sufficient space, trained operators, and maintenance support to extract full value.
