Roland GR2-640/540 Cutting Plotter
Product Details
Roland GR2 Professional Cutting Plotter
The Roland GR2 series—specifically the GR2-640 and GR2-540—is a professional large-format vinyl cutter line engineered for fast, precise and high-volume cutting workflows. Built with a digital-control servo motor drive system and media-moving mechanism, these cutters accommodate wide roll materials—up to 1,782 mm (70.1″) in width on the 640 model—and deliver cutting widths of 1,627 mm (64″) or 1,372 mm (54″) respectively. With high cutting speeds of up to 1,530 mm/s, blade force ranging from 5 to 600 gf, and repeatability of ±0.1 mm or less, the GR2 series ensures sharp curves, minimal waste and consistent results across long runs.
Ideal for print shops, signage businesses and vehicle-wrap specialists, the GR2 cutters integrate seamlessly into print-then-cut workflows. They support roll media up to 24 kg (for the 640) or 20 kg (for the 540), handle material thicknesses up to 0.8 mm including backing paper, and provide advanced features such as automatic crop-mark detection, high-speed alignment, and compatibility with popular RIP and design software. Whether cutting self-adhesive vinyl, heat-transfer materials, magnetic sheets, reflective films or large-format decals, the GR2 series delivers the power, precision and versatility required for premium production.
Backed by Roland’s global reputation for reliability and service, the GR2-640/540 series offers an investment-grade platform for businesses looking to scale operations, improve turnaround speed and expand into new markets such as vehicle graphics, large signage, full-wraps and industrial applications.
