Cutting device

A cutting device comprising:

• a platen on which a holding member is placeable, the holding member being configured to hold an object to be cut on a holding surface of the holding member;
• a mounting portion to which a cutting blade is mountable;
• a first motor and second motor configured to relatively move the holding member placed on the platen and the mounting portion in a first direction and a second direction orthogonal to the first direction;
• a third motor configured to move the mounting portion in a third direction causing the mounting portion to move closer to the platen, and a fourth direction causing the mounting portion to move away from the platen, the third direction and the fourth direction being orthogonal to the first direction and the second direction;
• a pressure applying mechanism configured to apply pressure to the mounting portion in the third direction;
• a processor configured to control the first motor and second motor and the third motor;
• and
• a memory having computer-readable instructions stored thereon that when executed by the processor, instruct the processor to perform processes comprising:
• first movement processing of moving the mounting portion, by controlling the first motor and second motor and the third motor, to a facing position, the facing position being a position facing the object to be cut held by the holding member and at which the cutting blade is away from the object to be cut in the fourth direction;
• second movement processing of moving the mounting portion in the third direction from the facing position by controlling the third motor;
• first decision processing of deciding a cutting pressure correspondence value corresponding to the pressure applied to the mounting portion by the pressure applying mechanism when cutting the object to be cut using the cutting blade, the deciding being performed based on a first pressure correspondence value corresponding to the pressure applied to the mounting portion by the pressure applying mechanism when it is detected that the cutting blade has come into contact with the object to be cut in the course of the mounting portion being moved in the third direction by the second movement processing, and on a second pressure correspondence value corresponding to the pressure applied to the mounting portion by the pressure applying mechanism when it is detected that the cutting blade has reached the holding surface of the holding member;
• acquisition processing of acquiring cutting data for cutting a pattern from the memory;
• and
• cutting processing of applying the pressure to the mounting portion by the pressure applying mechanism, based on the cutting pressure correspondence value decided by the first decision processing, and cutting the object to be cut using the cutting blade mounted to the mounting portion, by controlling the first motor and second motor and the third motor in accordance with the cutting data acquired by the acquisition processing.
