Metallography – Cutting machine SERVOCUT: 1st choice for professionals
Good, efficient metallographic sample preparation begins with correct separation: Good and correct separation prevents the material from burning, avoids structural changes and is the best way to save time and consumables If the separation is carried out incorrectly, this will be "punished" by an extremely increased effort in grinding and polishing!
SERVOCUT cutting machine supports you optimally – for example, because a cutting force limit can prevent the sample from burning during automated cutting. In addition, an automated cutting machine can be used to use new cutting processes (pulse cutting, oscillation cutting, step cutting, diagonal cutting) to cut extremely hard materials (carbide / PM steels) and critical special materials and alloys (titanium, etc.).
The key feature of the SERVOCUT cutting machine is the travel cut: The cutting disc is not lowered onto the workpiece (cross cut), but the workpiece fixed on a travel table is moved onto the sample (travel cut). The fact that the workpiece can be moved under the cutting disc means that even long travel distances (long workpieces) can be cut. An automated SERVOCUT cutting machine offers the advantage that time-consuming cutting tasks can be automated. These cutting machines can even handle complex cutting tasks with just a few programming steps and by using combined cutting modes.

FAQ
Which cutting machine is right for your company?
When choosing a cutting machine, the intended application areas and the materials to be cut should be taken into account. Depending on the type, the length of the cutting cuts also varies from 110mm to 180mm. Our specialist advisors will be happy to help you choose the right device.
Why is a quality cutting machine so important?
A high-quality cutting machine is essential for efficient sample preparation in metallography. Burning of the material, structural changes and other damage to the samples can be avoided. This also saves time and consumables. Incorrect cutting, on the other hand, leads to more effort in grinding and polishing.
How does a cutting machine from Schütz+Licht prevent damage to the material?
Our devices have a cutting force limit for automated cutting. New cutting processes such as pulse cutting, oscillation cutting, step cutting, diagonal cutting for particularly hard materials and critical special materials or alloys also ensure clean and damage-free separation of the workpieces.
