Material Matters

The MetCut 330 abrasive metallurgical cutting machine offers a good capacity for sectioning a wide range of samples for material testing. This machine has the ability to cut samples from a wide range of materials using abrasive cutting wheels and diamond /  Cubic Boron Nitride  wheels available from Spectrographic.   Sectioning of samples up to 80mm diameter with chopping technique and up to 200mm length using the lateral moving bed can be achieved.   The machine is available with manual or automatic cutting functions.    The video below shows how to use the machine. The Metcut 330 abrasive cut off machines are used in the metallurgy industry as they offer a high quality cut that are required for quality inspection of samples for automotive, energy, rail and aerospace applications. A full range of metallurgical abrasive cutting wheels are available for the MetCut 330 abrasive cutter.   These wheel are also suitable for use on Buehle...

The MetCut 300 Metallurgical abrasive cutting machine for sectioning of samples such as heat treatment samples. The MetCut 300 metallurgical abrasive cutter uses a 250mm abrasive wheel and can cut samples up to 75mm diameter. The machine can be equipped with a recirculation tank and twin vices to offer a high quality abrasive cutting machine. Going out servicing these machines we see them in all kind of conditions most of them are often clean and reasonable, but you do come across a minority in poor conditions. We often find the clamps seized up and the odd coolant hose snapped from a build-up of dirt in the chamber. This causes the filter in the coolant tank to block and need replacing. At Spectrographic we have all of these items in stock so when we go out on a service parts can be replaced and installed immediately. After the service or repair a full report is sent out detailing what the Spectrographic service enginee...

Spectrographic have been refurbishing metallurgical equipment for many years now, and we keep on adding to our range of second hand machines. A new addition to our range of used metallurgical equipment is the Buehler Isomet 2000 Precision Cutting machine.   Precision cutting machines cause minimal damage and deformation of the sample and are particularly suited to fragile or very soft materials. Using the correct cutting parameters the diamond saw can cut virtually any type of material, using its unique diamond cutting wheels. It is ideally suited for cutting and slicing fragile materials including inter-metallic crystal structures, semiconductor substrates with multiple layers, delicate electronic components and items which would be damaged using other methods of cutting.       The Buehler cutter can be supplied with a combination of new and used equipment to meet your full material testing requirements. ...
