250/350
METACUT 250 and METACUT 350 are the ideal
abrasive cut-off machines for metallographic
samples, offering perfect solutions for efficient,
versatile and reproducible high-quality cutting.
* Compact and powerful...
* Fully automatic operation...
* Microprocessor controlled...
* Pulse cutting technique...
Design
METACUT 250 and METACUT® 350 are designed for wet cutting of
large and small, regularly or irregularly shaped work pieces of
metallic, ceramic or composite materials. METACUT 250 has the
capacity to cut solid sections up to 90 mm in diameter. The cutting
capacity of METACUT 350 is 130 mm. The side access port permits
the sectioning of extra-long work pieces, as well.
METACUT cutting machines are available in Automatic (A) and
Manual (M) versions.
METACUT-A350 Fully Automatic Cutting Machine
The machine is equipped with a powerful motor, driving the cut-off
wheel towards the work piece. The bottom part of the machine is a
large robust alloy base casting. The cutting table is provided with
T-Slots increasing the versatility so that different clamping sets can
be mounted. The quick-clamping devices are removable to permit
the installation of conventional clamping tools to hold larger or more
intricate work pieces.
Large Cutting Chamber
METACUT-M350 Manual Cutter
Touch-Pad front panel
The complete system is enclosed in a protective hood with a large
shatter proof window to observe the cutting process. The cutting
chamber inside is illuminated with a 12-Volt sealed lamp. METACUT
has the highest safety standards. The interlocking safety device does
not allow the motor to be started unless the hood is closed. The
hood can not be opened before the motor is stopped. The electronic
brake system, which is a standard feature, brings the cutter to a
quick full stop in seconds after it has been switched off.
A closed loop re-circulating cooling unit is a standard part of the
machine. The cutting surface is cooled by spray nozzles whose water
jets hit both the cutting wheel and the specimen. This provides an
efficient cooling of the sample and prevents the overheating of the
surface structure.
METACUT-M250 Manual Cutter
METACUT automatic models METACUT-A250 and METACUT-A350
both have a sophisticated hydro-pneumatic system and
microprocessor technology controlling the automatic operation.
Clamp the sample in the vices, set the recommended cutting force
and feed rate, then press the “Auto-cut” button. The motor starts,
coolant flows, the cutting wheel advances and cuts through the
section then returns to its initial position and stops.
Controlling cutting force and the cutter feed creates reproducible
cutting conditions which results in superior surfaces consistently.
When sectioning complex specimens, the controlled cutting force
allows the cutting rate to vary according to the thickness being cut,
resulting in evenly cut surfaces. The motor current is monitored with
an “Overload Display” (LED bar graph) on the front panel.
Pulse cutting technique, in principle, makes a series of uniform small
cuts. This action reduces the surface contact friction rate and
eliminates the risk of overheating.
Pulse cutting mode, selectable from the front panel is specially
designed to section “Hard to Cut” materials.
Automatic operation reduces the labor costs. The time required to
operate the machine is considerably lower. Controlled cutting force
and automatic feed and the pulse cutting technique minimize wheel
wear and consequently reduce operating costs.
Clamping Devices
METACUT-A250 Automatic Cutter
Many sample preparation applications require the sectioning of a
specimen from a small or irregularly shaped sample or component
part. The small size or irregular sample shape can create positioning
and clamping difficulties for the operator.
METACUT series are equipped with stainless T-slot clamping tables.
All clamping devices are made of stainless steel and can be attached
to the cutters T-Slot beds in seconds for fast, positive clamping of
parts having virtually any configuration.

RUBBER BONDED
abrasive cut -off wheels are made from
sheets of natural rubber and have been
manufactured by the “original
calendered method.” They have a
unique composition that makes them
ideal for high quality cool, burn-free
sectioning on metallographic samples.
Sample wheels to meet with your
sectioning applications are available
for your evaluation.
