Abrasive cutter option allows sectioning in the X-axis direction
- March 14, 2011
- Product Release
- Shop Management
Buehler's AbrasiMatic® 300 abrasive cutter now features the optional X-Bed for sectioning in the X-axis direction. The accompanying digital display tracks X-axis travel to help improve precision, consistency, and repeatability in serial (parallel) sectioning applications.
The benchtop cutter features a 12-in. abrasive cutoff wheel that can section up to a 4.375-in.-dia. sample. A 5-HP motor powers through large and hardened materials, including steel, highly alloyed metals, coated metals, ceramics, concrete, and minerals.
With a handle wheel on the front of the machine, operators can position samples without unclamping them from the table or vise. After making the first cut, operators can then set the digital display to zero. Any subsequent X-axis table movement then is displayed in 0.1-in. increments.
Four sectioning options are offered:
- X-axis serial sectioning
- Manual chop-style cutting in the Z axis using the manual cutting lever
- Manual longitudinal Y-axis cutting using the Y-axis handle wheel
- Automated longitudinal Y-axis cutting using the Y-axis motor feed and touchscreen controls
