Multipurpose, low-damage cutting for all specimen types
Description:
The PELCO® Precision Low Speed Saw is a compact, multipurpose, precision saw designed to cut a wide variety of materials with minimal subsurface damage. Its low speed makes it possible to cut fragile materials that would otherwise fracture as well as soft materials that would load the diamond wheel on a higher speed saw. A variety of sample holders are available, providing a means for mounting any shape of sample, while multi-axis goniometer adaptability simplifies cutting oriented crystals.
Features:
-
The belt drive system eliminates gear breakage which is common with less reliable fiber gear driven designs.
-
The coolant reservoir is lowered and easily removed by opening an access door located on the front panel.
-
Both coarse and fine sample position adjustments allow rapid and accurate sample positioning.
-
The polyethylene coolant reservoir enables the use of both water soluble and oil based coolants.
-
Automatic termination of the cutting process is controlled by an electromechanical downstop which minimizes supervision.
-
The cutting arm pivots on a set of precision bearings rather than on the micrometer shaft which ensures accurate and repeatable sample positioning.
-
The PELCO® Precision Low Speed Saw utilizes a high torque 1/15 HP DC motor to provide sufficient power for difficult materials.
-
Automatic overload protection shuts down the motor if the blade binds while cutting.
-
A wide variety of sample holders allow mounting of virtually any shape of sample.
