Rotary blade cut-off machine Qcut 150 A

with digital assistancewith programming softwarewith control software

Overview
The Qcut 150 A is a compact benchtop precision cut-off machine for cut-off wheels Ø75–203 mm (8"). It performs automatic and manual cuts via an ergonomic lever. An optional sample holder arm with integrated force sensor enables low-deformation cutting with a force-controlled feed rate.

Product Advantages

• Up to 5 operating modes: manual, automatic feed, force-controlled feed, grinding mode, cutting with table attachment (depending on configuration)
• Manual cross feed
• Zone-cutting function for segmented feed control
• Four different cooling systems available
• Dressing device for wheel maintenance
• Intuitive QATM software with integrated database

Force-controlled cutting

• Integrated force sensor in the sample holder arm precisely regulates feed rate according to the set cutting force
• Constant cutting force during the process ensures clean cuts of edge-hardened components and composite materials

Table attachment

• Tool-free mounting of the table attachment
• Quick manual sectioning of large samples, PCBs, or plate materials

Zone-cutting

• Individual adjustment of feed rate or cutting force for specific sections of the sample
• Reduced material deformation and heating
• Accelerated overall cutting process

Grinding mode

• Target preparation: samples can be ground manually or semi-automatically using a cup wheel
• Suitable for thin sections and microelectronics

Vacuum clamping unit

• Glass slides and thin sections can be fixed securely without slipping
