Questions & Answers

What is the main advantage of the APEX XC-37 compared to smaller film cutters?

The APEX XC-37 features an extra-wide 37.3-inch cutting width, allowing print shops to process wide-format 36-inch DTF rolls or feed multiple narrower rolls simultaneously. It automates roll slicing at speeds up to 300 meters per hour to keep up with up to 4 high-volume DTF printers.

How does the machine ensure accurate cuts between gang sheet graphics?

The APEX XC-37 uses an auto-sensing optical positioning system that scans printed registration marks on the film. This system automatically adjusts knife alignment to deliver straight, pixel-perfect cuts between transfer graphics.

What types of materials can the APEX XC-37 cut?

It is optimized for Direct-to-Film (DTF) PET carrier film, UV DTF film, PVC film, heat transfer vinyl rolls, and various flexible plastic and paper roll media.

Does the APEX XC-37 require compressed air?

Yes. The APEX XC-37 utilizes pneumatic cylinders to drive its heavy-duty cross-cut knife assembly for clean, sharp cuts. An industrial air compressor (available through LWG) is required for operation.

Where can I get replacement blades and technical support?

When purchased through Lawson Workhorse Group (LWG), replacement blades and factory-trained technical support are readily available from our regional hubs in St. Louis, MO, Atlanta, GA, Phoenix, Orlando, and Des Moines.
