What your metallography lab actually checks
Repeatable, deformation-free cuts
A force sensor holds cutting force constant by adjusting the feed automatically, so every specimen is sectioned the same way — deformation-free and repeatable across operators and shifts.
A metallography engineer on the line
Questions about wheel choice, mode selection or clamping a tricky geometry? Our engineers run these machines and the whole prep line. Sub-4h reply, NDA standard.
QATM QCUT 150 A is an automatic benchtop precision cut-off machine with force-controlled feed, zone cutting and a grinding mode — repeatable, deformation-free sectioning of samples up to Ø 40 mm.
Why metallographers choose the QCUT 150 A
Force-controlled automation that removes operator variation from the first prep step.
Force-controlled, repeatable cuts
An integrated force sensor holds the cutting force constant by adjusting feed automatically (0.01–20 mm/s). Every specimen is cut the same way — no operator-to-operator variation.
Ø 40 mm capacity, five cutting modes
Manual, automatic feed, force-controlled feed, grinding and table-attachment cutting — up to Ø 40 mm with wheels Ø 75–203 mm (8″), all from one benchtop footprint.
Zone cutting + grinding mode
Set feed rate or force individually for sections of a single cut to reduce deformation and heat. In grinding mode, cup wheels grind samples down manually or semi-automatically for target preparation.
QATM software, dressing & clean cuts
Intuitive QATM software with an integrated parameter database, a dressing device for diamond wheels and four cooling options keep results consistent and low-damage across jobs.
With every QATM cut-off machine
Configured, installed and supported by a metallography team — not shipped as a bare crate.
Matched to your samples
Tell us the parts you section — alloy, size and how sensitive they are. We spec the cut-off wheel, clamping tools and cooling so the machine arrives configured for your lab.
Installed and dialled in
We install the machine, run first cuts on your own material and train the operator on modes, force and wheel selection — not a crate left on a pallet.
Backed by a metallography engineer
Wheel and parameter advice, consumable reorders and the next steps — mounting, grinding, polishing and hardness — from one partner. Sub-24h response.
