Semi-Automatic
Semi-auomatic sectioning involves executing a cut following operator setup of the machine parameters.
The TechCut 5x™ features a large, LED illuminated cutting compartment with an automatic, adjustable rate table feed. Two (2) table options provide versatility for a wide variety of applications and needs.
The TechCut 4x™ is a smaller scale, precision sectioning saw featuring a gravity-fed arm that feeds the sample into the blade, stopping once it triggers the shut-off sensor for unattended operaiton.
TechCut 4x
The TechCut 4x™ is a precision low-speed saw excellent for cutting smaller, delicate samples that cannot tolerate increased heat caused by high-speed sectioning. A 3.5" color LCD touchscreen is used to control all functions with an intuitive interface optimized for efficiency. The pivoting cutting arm has adjustable weights to apply or counterbalance downward force to the sample during sectioning. Cutting fluid is drawn from the reservoir by the blade to cool the sample. With a 3" to 6" blade range, samples up to 2" thick can be sectioned.
TechCut 4x Accessories
The fixture design of the TechCut 4x™ offers variety and interchangeability that make it very easy to use. All fixtures are made of either stainless or anodized aluminum for corrosion resistance.
TechCut 5x
The TechCut 5x™ precision high-speed saw is a versatile, programmable machine designed to cut a wide variety and size of materials. It automatically sections materials at high speeds, increasing sample throughput. The PLC-based system controls sample feed rate, distance and force. Closed-loop monitoring of the blade and table optimizes cutting performance and minimizes blade breakage by automatically adjusting the feed rate when variations in sample material or thickness are detected. When sectioning is complete, the table automatically retracts the sample to the home position and stops blade rotation and coolant flow. The unique fixturing system allows for easy changes between the T-Slot Table and the X-Axis Tables. Both tables offer a variety of convenient table-specific fixture options.
