Fletcher Valiani Mat-Pro CMC 150 Computerized Mat Cutter

***Manufacturer's Information:

The Fletcher Valiani Mat Pro CMC-i 150 is a professional-grade computerized mat cutter (CMC) designed for precision cutting of mat boards, frequently used in custom frame shops and art galleries. Known for its versatility, it allows framers to execute complex designs like multiple openings, V-grooves, and double or triple mats without removing the board from the machine.

Features & Specifications:

- Working Area: Large format capacity of approximately 60" x 40" (1500 x 1000 mm), suitable for full-size mat boards.
- Material Compatibility: Handles materials up to 1/2" (13mm) thick for 90° cuts and standard 4-ply or 8-ply mat boards for bevels.
- Pneumatic System: Uses a pneumatic clamping system (requiring ~90 psi) to hold boards firmly, eliminating the need for manual rotation.
- Interchangeable Heads: Compatible with various cutting heads for different tasks, such as bevel cutting (40° green or 45° blue heads), 90° straight cuts (grey head), and even drawing or embossing tools.
- Software: Typically operates using V-Studio or Future Mat Designer, which include templates for standard shapes (circles, ovals, hearts) and support for CAD files (.DXF)

Performance Highlights:

- Efficiency: Capable of cutting single or multiple openings from both the front and back of the board, which can save hours on complex production runs.
- Precision: The pneumatic head provides maximum control for clean corners and accurate straight lines.
- Creative Flexibility: Beyond standard rectangles, it can cut intricate shapes like hearts or custom logos by importing vector designs.
