KemCut - Abrasive Cutting & Precision Cutting Machine
The KemCut is the ideal solution for preparing metallographic samples, offering versatile and high-quality cutting capabilities for laboratories, research facilities, and industrial applications. Whether you're conducting material analysis, quality control testing, or research and development work, the KemCut delivers consistent, precise results that meet the demanding requirements of modern metallography.
This professional-grade machine is specifically designed for wet cutting of both large and small workpieces, whether regularly or irregularly shaped, across a wide range of materials including metallic, ceramic, and composite materials. The wet cutting process ensures that samples remain cool during sectioning, preventing thermal damage, material distortion, or microstructural changes that could compromise your analysis results.
The KemCut's versatility makes it suitable for cutting everything from delicate electronic components and small precision parts to larger industrial samples and forgings. Its robust design accommodates specimens of varying geometries, including cylindrical, rectangular, and irregular shapes, making it an indispensable tool for any materials testing laboratory or quality assurance department.
Equipped with a powerful motor driving the cut-off wheel, the machine is built on a robust casting base with a precision cutting table that ensures stability and accuracy throughout the cutting process. The complete system is enclosed in a protective hood with a shatter-proof window, and the cutting chamber is illuminated with internal lighting to enable safe observation of the cutting process at all times. This combination of power, precision, and safety makes the KemCut the preferred choice for professionals who demand excellence in sample preparation.
