Cutting Robot Qcut 600 BOT In 5 dimensions, sectioning the small from the large
With the patented 5-axis technology, workpieces can be cut at any angle precisely, repeatably, quickly, and easily. All axes are finely adjustable and remain vibration-free during the cut-off process – precise work is easier than ever. The positioning capabilites/movement of the various axes in combination with the clamping systems enables precise cutting of the workpiece without time-consuming re-clamping of the workpiece. All necessary cut-offs can be performed sequentially and automatically – even with large workpieces.

The Basics of Materialographic Sectioning
Metallographic cutting or sectioning usually marks the first step of the metallographic sample preparation process. In most cases it is necessary because the part or solid body is too large for the following metallographic grinding and polishing steps carried out on a laboratory scale. Depending on part geometries and material hardness as well as employed analytical techniques, different cutting techniques and consumables are used. The aim of this article is to explain the principle of materialographic cutting as well as the consumables and parameters which can influence the cutting result.
