About this product

QATM QCUT 350 A is a fully automatic wet abrasive cut-off machine with electronic force and distance control, program memory and Multi-Position-Process — for hands-off, repeatable sectioning of heavy samples up to Ø 135 mm.

Why metallographers choose the QCUT 350 A

The automatic workhorse of the QCUT range — heavy capacity with hands-off, repeatable programs.

Fully automatic X/Y cutting

Automatic horizontal (260 mm) and vertical (180 mm) axes with electronic force, distance and speed control run cuts unattended. Cutting parameters save to memory and reload for repeatable results.

Ø 135 mm capacity, 356 mm wheel

Cuts heavy samples up to Ø 135 mm with abrasive wheels to Ø 356 mm (14″) at a variable 800–3400 rpm on a 4 kW drive — the large-capacity end of the QCUT range.

Multi-Position-Process + pulsed cutting

MPP places several specimens on the table and cuts them in one teach-in sequence. Variable pulsed cutting gives decisive advantages on heavy sections and hard-to-cut materials.

Protected, hands-off operation

Electronic performance control reduces feed at the preset power limit to protect the machine and wheel, while automatic touch detection approaches in rapid run and cuts safely with your preset parameters.

With every QATM cut-off machine

Configured, installed and supported by a metallography team — not shipped as a bare crate.

Step 01
Matched to your samples

Tell us the parts you section — alloy, size and how sensitive they are. We spec the cutting wheel, clamping tools and cooling so the machine arrives configured for your lab.

Step 02
Installed and dialled in

We install the machine, run first cuts on your own material and train the operator on programs, MPP and wheel selection — not a crate left on a pallet.

Step 03
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.

Common questions

Don't see yours? Email [email protected] — NDA on request, typical reply within 4 hours.

What sample sizes can the QCUT 350 A cut?
The QCUT 350 A sections heavy samples up to Ø 135 mm using abrasive cutting wheels to Ø 356 mm (14″). Automatic X (260 mm) and Y (180 mm) axes cover a large 400 × 300 mm stainless table (500 × 300 mm with the Z-axis option), and an opening on the right lets you pass long parts through the chamber.
What automation does the QCUT 350 A offer?
The QCUT 350 A automates both horizontal and vertical movement with electronic control of cutting force, distance and speed. Cutting parameters — feed rate, travel and force — save to memory and reload later, and can be altered during automatic cycles. Automatic touch detection approaches the sample in rapid run, then cuts with your preset parameters.
What is the Multi-Position-Process (MPP)?
With the Multi-Position-Process you place several specimens on the table and cut them in one sequence. A teach-in function makes setting the various cutting positions simple and user-friendly, so the QCUT 350 A can batch-section a full table of parts hands-off — valuable for routine production QC and high-throughput labs.
When should I use pulsed cutting?
The variable pulsed cutting system gives decisive advantages on heavy sections and materials that are difficult to cut. By pulsing the feed, it clears the cut and manages heat and load on demanding cross-sections — helping you section large or hardened stock cleanly without overloading the wheel.
How does the QCUT 350 A protect the sample and the machine?
Electronic performance control automatically reduces the feed rate when the preset maximum power is reached, protecting the machine and cutting components from overload. An electronic cutting-force limiter, distance control and continuous wet cooling keep heat and mechanical stress off the sample, so the microstructure you examine is free of sectioning artefacts.
Can the QCUT 350 A section additively manufactured parts?
Yes. The QCUT 350 A suits larger and heavier AM specimens sectioned for porosity, density and microstructure analysis. Programmable force control, pulsed cutting and wet cooling keep heat and load off the printed microstructure, and MPP lets you batch several parts. Choose an abrasive or diamond wheel matched to the alloy before mounting and polishing.
What is the lead time, and does it include installation and training?
The QCUT 350 A is configured to order — request a current lead time with your quote. Delivery through Additive Plus includes installation, first cuts on your own samples and operator training on the automatic programs, MPP and wheel selection. You also get a metallography engineer for parameter advice and for the next steps: mounting, grinding, polishing and hardness testing.
