Developed in Europe
V-CUT is the operator-facing control system for the VR2. Setup, machine position, tools, files, live progress, restart and service information are brought into one touch-led environment.
V-CUT is developed in Europe by DXF Machinery for the Vector VR2 platform.

Tell us what you cut, the sheet sizes you use and what you need to produce. We’ll help you choose the table size, spindle and options that suit your work, and explain how V-CUT fits into your day-to-day production.
Your job at a glance
V-CUT screen preview
Machine coordinates and spindle and feed override controls together in the manual workspace.View machine and work coordinates, with touch controls to select and reset coordinate values.
See how far the machine has left to travel and the estimated time remaining, for both the current program line and the complete job.
Inspect your job in 2D or 3D using multi-touch controls, with dimensions, cutting paths and travel moves clearly displayed.
See which tools the loaded job requires, so you can check your tooling before cutting begins.
Before cutting
Set spoilboard protection and safe Z-height limits to help prevent unintended tool plunges into the machine bed.
Trace the job’s outer boundary to check its position on the sheet and its clearance from clamps and stops before cutting.
Run the programmed toolpath 50 mm above the material to check machine movements and spot potential setup issues before cutting begins.
Save and recall datum positions for regularly used sheets, fixtures and setups, reducing repetitive positioning work between jobs.
After an interruption
SmartRestart helps trained operators resume interrupted work from a suitable point in the program. Choose from several controlled restart options to help recover the job and reduce wasted material.
V-CUT screen preview
Use Jump to Line to select a controlled restart point in the loaded program.Choose the G-code line to restart from and position the tool close to the corresponding cutting path.
Select a point on a recognised profile in the job view to identify where to resume cutting.
Select the cutting-path line you want to restart from directly on the V-CUT touch display.
Use the handwheel to review movement through the program and choose a suitable restart position.
Everyday tools, built in
Access your job files from one place, using local storage, authorised USB drives, approved cloud locations or shared Windows folders.
Prepare jobs for the machine directly from Vectric. CAMLink creates a standard job card and organised folders to keep each handover consistent.
Trim, divide or square a sheet directly at the machine. Define a simple cut using two or three points, without creating a new CAM program.
Resurface your spoilboard using built-in skimming programs. Choose horizontal, vertical or diagonal passes and adjust the stepover to suit the task.
User access and diagnostics
Access the controls needed for everyday production, from loading and setting up jobs to running the machine and adjusting permitted offsets.
Manage tool setup and machine references, back up and restore settings, and access logs, tests and service information.
Give trained technicians access to commissioning, calibration and motion tests, with live input/output signals and detailed diagnostics to help investigate faults.
Track machine running time, spindle use, axis travel and recorded service events in one place to support maintenance and fault diagnosis.
Common questions
No. V-CUT is developed in Europe by DXF Machinery and brings preparation, machine feedback, restart, files, permissions and service information into one operating environment.
No. Table Guard applies configurable spoilboard and safe-Z protection to reduce risk. Training, correct tooling and safe setup are still required.
No. JobVault helps control normal file routes and approved locations. It supports the customer’s wider IT policy but is not an absolute data-loss guarantee.
