MICRACUT
125/150/175/200

MICRACUT precision cutters are used for precise and deformation-free cutting of Metal, Ceramics, Electronic Components, Crystals, Composites, Biomaterials, Sintered Carbides, Minerals. MICRACUT has its place in virtually any metallurgical, geological, electronics, biomedical or industrial laboratory. The applications are endless.

Design & Operation

MICRACUT 125 and MICRACUT 150 are capable of cutting most materials such as, brittle or ductile metals, hard or soft metals, composites, ceramics, rocks, biomaterials, laminates, etc. They are designed for cutting all types of materials with minimal structural deformation. The structural integrity of the sample is maintained through MICRACUT’s design and operation. Additionally, low kerfs-loss and sample holding versatility makes the MICRACUT an essential part of the modern day laboratory. The cut surface is ready for microscopic examination with minimal polishing.

MICRACUT 125 accepts diamond wafering blades up to 125 mm (5”) diameter and the wheel speed is continuously variable from 0 to 600 RPM. Gravity feed and drag lubrication make the MICRACUT 125 easy and convenient to use. The coolant tray can be removed for cleaning without having to remove the blade. Most sample configurations can be gripped with the variety of specimen vises which are available. The sample holding arm incorporates a digital micrometer adjustment which enables the operator to place the sample precisely where the cut is desired. Dead weights in 25 gram increments are applied directly to the arm. The sliding weight at the back of the arm allows intermediate forces to be applied. Available blade dressing chuck dresses the diamond disc while sample cutting is continued. Once the cut is done, MICRACUT 125 automatically stops and sounds an audible signal to notify the operator that the cutting sequence is finished.

MICRACUT 150 accommodates diamond and abrasive wheels up to 150 mm (6”) diameter and the speed range is between 0 and 1000 rpm. The gravity feed loading design minimizes sample deformation. The sliding weight arm with counterweight allows precise force application. The digital micrometer enables the operator to set the cutting width with a resolution of 1 micron. The digital micrometer is interchangeable and the customer can mount other types of micrometers if and whenever required. The coolant tray is removable from the front of the instrument for easy cleaning. MICRACUT 150 cutting chamber is fully enclosed by transparent hood. Blade dresser is a standard feature. At the end of the cut, an audible signal notifies the operator. Optional cutting table attachment is available for manual cutting of extra flat large specimens and PCB’s.
