Cutting apparatus, holding member for holding object to be cut and storage medium storing cutting control program
A cutting apparatus includes a cutting unit including a cutting blade, a holding member having an adhesive layer on which an object to be cut is removably held, a wireless tag containing cutting information, a reading unit reading the cutting information from the wireless tag when the holding member has been set on the apparatus, and a control unit controlling the cutting unit based on the cutting information the reading unit has read from the wireless tag. The cutting information includes at least one of a relative moving speed between the blade and the object, a pressing force of the blade against the object and a correction amount which corrects a relative movement amount of the blade relative to the object. The cutting unit includes a pressing unit which presses the object held by the holding member, and the cutting information includes a pressing force of the pressing unit.
1. A cutting apparatus comprising:
a cutting unit including a cutting blade moved together with an object to be cut, relative to each other, thereby cutting the object by the cutting blade;
a holding member having an adhesive layer on which the object is removably held, the holding member being set onto the cutting apparatus while adhesively holding the object;
a wireless tag provided on the holding member and containing cutting information written thereon, the cutting information including information about a cutting operation;
a reading unit which reads the cutting information from the wireless tag when the holding member has been set on the cutting apparatus; and
a control unit which controls the cutting unit based on the cutting information the reading unit has read from the wireless tag,
wherein the cutting information includes at least one of a relative moving speed between the cutting blade and the object, a pressing force of the cutting blade against the object and an amount of correction which corrects an amount of relative movement of the cutting blade relative to the object; and
wherein the cutting unit includes a pressing unit which presses the object held by the holding member, and the cutting information includes a pressing force of the pressing unit.
2. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the cutting information includes contour data for cutting a predetermined pattern contour.
3. The apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the cutting information includes layout data for laying out the pattern contour on the object.
4. The apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the cutting information includes cutting sequence data for specifying a cutting sequence of cutting a plurality of the pattern contours when the plural pattern contours are cut for the object.
5. The apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising a setting unit which updates the cutting information read from the wireless tag by the reading unit and a writing unit which writes into the wireless tag the cutting information updated by the setting unit.
6. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the wireless tag is detachably attached to the holding member.
7. A holding member for use with a cutting apparatus which includes a cutting unit cutting an object to be cut, a reading unit which reads cutting information by wireless communication and a control unit which controls the cutting unit based on the cutting information read by the reading unit, the holding member comprising:
an adhesive layer on which the object is removably held; and
a wireless tag in which cutting information including information about a cutting operation is written,
wherein the cutting information includes at least one of a relative moving speed between the cutting blade and the object, a pressing force of the cutting blade against the object and an amount of correction which corrects an amount of relative movement of the cutting blade relative to the object; and
wherein the cutting unit includes a pressing unit which presses the object held by the holding member, and the cutting information includes a pressing force of the pressing unit.
8. The member according to claim 7 , wherein the cutting information includes contour data for cutting a predetermined pattern contour.
9. The member according to claim 8 , wherein the cutting information includes layout data for laying out the pattern contour on the object.
10. The member according to claim 8 , wherein the cutting information includes cutting sequence data for specifying a cutting sequence of cutting a plurality of the pattern contours
when the plural pattern contours are cut from the object.
11. The member according to claim 7 , wherein the wireless tag is detachably attached to the holding member.
12. A storage medium which is computer-readable and stores a control program that is used for a cutting apparatus which includes a holding member set at a position opposed to a cutting blade and having an adhesive layer on which the object is removably held, a cutting unit moving the cutting blade and the holding member relative to each other, thereby cutting the object by the cutting blade and a reading unit reading information by wireless communication, the control program comprising:
a reading routine of reading the cutting information from the wireless tag by the reading unit when the holding member is set on the cutting apparatus; and
a cutting control routine of controlling the cutting unit based on the cutting information read from the wireless tag in the reading routine.
13. The storage medium according to claim 12 , wherein the control program further comprises:
a setting routine of updating the cutting information read from the wireless tag in the reading routine; and
a writing routine of writing the cutting information updated in the setting routine into the wireless tag.
