OverviewThe Qcut 500 A is a wet cut-off machine engineered for precise, high-throughput sectioning of large and heavy components. It combines highly dynamic axis drives with automatic traverse and chop-cut functions to deliver fast, low-contact cuts and versatile handling of long or complex samples.
Benefits- Increased productivity: dynamic axis drives enable traverses up to 80 mm/s, reducing cycle times
- Flexible material handling: large sliding and hinged doors plus side openings allow processing of long workpieces
- Batch-capable workflows: Multi-Position Process (MPP) enables simultaneous positioning and automatic cutting of multiple components
Main features- Operator interface: 12.1" industrial touchscreen with QATM software; joystick control and 200 user program slots for quick setup and on-the-fly parameter changes
- Robust construction: powder-coated aluminium body with integrable recirculating cooling and automatic central lubrication
- Worktable: stainless-steel table with longitudinal and cross T-slots; secure clamping via T-slot table or Easy clamping system; table with Z-axis 550 x 500 mm or without Z-axis 700 x 500 mm
- Load capacity: configurations support heavy workpieces (up to ~400 kg in some setups; table entry notes up to 120 kg including clamping devices)
- Cutting chamber: large sliding door with scratch-resistant laminated safety glass, side swing door, right/left openings for long samples, break-resistant LED interior lighting
- Optimized swivel arm: efficient cooling, parallel-guided cut-off wheel guard and optional laser alignment for precise positioning
- Precision cross feed: table-integrated Z-axis maintains consistent cutting height; automatic cross feed with serial cutting for precise parallel cuts
- Rotation tool (optional): vertical rotary feed with software-controlled angle for uniform surfaces, reduced cutting time on rotational parts and protection against wheel run-out
- Pulsed cutting and force-dependent feed control: adjustable pulsed cutting for difficult materials; feed rate automatically reduces when preset cutting force is reached to protect machine, sample and clamps
Accessories / Options- Recirculating cooling unit (compact, integrable, multi-chamber filtration)
- Belt filter system for continuous/serial operation
- Centrifugal separator to remove coolant mist
- Optional laser alignment, rotation tool and Qtool clamping devices
