Product Brochure A VERSATILE, PROGRAMMABLE SECTIONING MACHINE DESIGNED TO CUT A WIDE VARIETY AND SIZE OF MATERIALS PRECISION HIGH SPEED SAW Quality Products for Metallographic Sample Preparation & Analysis 1

The TechCut 5x™ precision high speed saw is a versatile, programmable machine designed to cut a wide variety and size of materials. It automatically sections materials at high speeds, increasing sample throughput. The PLC-based system controls sample feed rate, distance and force. Closed-loop monitoring of the blade and table optimizes cutting performance and minimizes blade breakage by automatically adjusting the feed rate when variations in sample material or thickness are detected. When sectioning is complete, the table automatically retracts the sample to the home position and stops...

Hand Wheel Sample Positioning Joystick Sample Positioning The hand wheel is utilized to slowly feed delicate samples into the blade to minimize damage, allowing the user to “feel” the sectioning operation. It is also convenient for blade dressing. When not in use, the folding black knob rests inside the wheel hub to avoid entanglement. The joystick, with three programmable speed ranges and proportional control, allows the user to position the table quickly and accurately while observing the sample as it moves into position. Automatic Sample Feed Dual Purpose Blade Flanges The included 2"...

The 7" color LCD touchscreen is used to control all functions and is extremely easy to navigate, allowing greater efficiency among users. LED illumination inside the cover allows easy observation of the sectioning process through the large viewing windows. Wash-Down Hose Large Cutting Compartment With a 5" (125 mm) clearance to the left-hand side of the blade and 6" (150 mm) to the right side, long and/or large parts are easily accommodated. The wash-down hose is used to clean the cutting compartment. A quick-connect fitting on the end of the coolant nozzle bridge allows the hose to be...

T-Slot Table Table Clamp The T-slot table allows the use of a wide range of clamping and fixturing options available to accommodate a variety of sample shapes and sizes. Flat samples up to 0.25" (6 mm) thick can easily be secured to the T-slot table with these height adjustable clamps. Measuring 7.75" W x 8.25" D (195 x 210 mm), it is machined from aluminum billet and fitted with stainless tops for durability. T-Slot Table Vertical Adjusting Clamp Quick-Slide Vise The vertical adjusting clamp can be positioned in any orientation throughout the T-slots in the table. The height adjustable...

X-Axis Indexing Tables Quick-Slide Vise Made of hardened 17-4 stainless steel, the quick-slide vise features a lead-screw that disengages for quick and easy operation. Mounts directly to the indexing or T-slot tables. The X-axis indexing tables allow quantitative positioning for sectioning in precise locations. Two resolution options are offered: 25 µm (coarse) and 5 µm (fine). Coarse positioning is more applicable for metallurgical sectioning applications, while fine positioning is more suitable for tight geometry requirements usually found in microelectronic failure analysis and dicing...

Rotational Cutting Attachment Dicing Rotation Stage The rotational cutting attachment, which mounts directly to the indexing or T-slot tables, enables sample rotation during a cut. Its benefits include: The sample can be rotated continuously or oscillated through the cut. All fixtures shown on page 10 are included. The dicing rotation stage (shown mounted on #5-5730 Z-axis stage and #5-5325 fine indexing table) allows 360° rotational positioning of flat substrates. Samples are mounted to the borosilicate glass insert using wax, which is secured with setscrews for quick attachment and...

Coolant System Options Z-Axis Stage Internal Reservoir, 1.25 Gallon (4.7 L) An internal 1.25-gallon (4.7 L) stainless steel reservoir sits beneath the cutting platform. An internal pump draws coolant from the reservoir through a filtered intake designed to prevent clogging. Shown with optional #5-5580 Magnetic Particle Collector External Reservoir, 7 Gallon (26.5 L) The 7-gallon (26.5 L) recirculating coolant system is constructed of corrosion resistant materials for maximum durability. The reservoir fits conveniently in the available cabinet, or can be placed near the machine in existing...
