IntroductionThe Qcut 600 BOT is a fully automatic 5-axis cut-off robot for metallographic and industrial sample cutting, designed for cut-off wheels up to Ø 610 mm and a machine table diameter of Ø 600 mm.
Key advantages- Patented 5-axis technology: Execute complex cutting sequences without time-consuming re-clamping of the workpiece.
- High automation level: Dynamic cut-off wheel measurement and automatic adaptation of cutting parameters enable unattended serial cutting.
- Reproducibility: Repeatable programs and precise positioning reduce variability between samples.
- Multi-Position Process (MPP): Simultaneous positioning and automatic cutting of multiple components on the table.
