302
SERVOCUT 302 is an advanced universal metallographic
cutting machine used to cut a very wide range of materials.

• Modern and sturdy design

• Extraordinary access for easy handling
• X-Y-Z three axes cutting capability
• Advanced cutting features for difficult workpieces
• Programmable with colored HMI touch screen controls
• Ergonomic Joystick control offers excellent application versatility
• Most versatile metallographic cutting machine in its class

DESIGN
Specimen integrity begins with high quality cutting. Perfectly cut
surfaces reduce the number of subsequent preparation stages and
shorten the total sample preparation time to the minimum.
SERVOCUT 302 offers the advantage of combining different cutting
techniques and methods into the same machine to obtain superior
cut surfaces for a broad range of heavy duty cutting applications.
Automatic cutting guarantees the highest level of reproducibility
through automatic processing of the specimen.

SERVOCUT 302 has a robust and reliable design with low noise and
emission levels. The modern and sturdy design with powerful 4 kW
cutting motor ensures fast and efficient cutting through the hardest
and complex materials with precise motor driven axis controls.

SERVOCUT 302 has X-Y-Z triple axes cutting capability:

Z-axis Chop cutting

The specimen is clamped and the cut-off wheel approaches the
specimen.
Y-axis Table-feed cutting
Feeding the clamped specimen into a rotating cut-off wheel using a
T-slotted feed table.
X-axis Parallel Cutting (optional)
Parallel serial sectioning in the x-axis with optional movable x-table.

SERVOCUT 302 consists of a cast aluminium base on which the motor Extra large cutting chamber with easy access and handling.

AUTOMATIC OPERATION

Z Z-Y SERVOCUT 302 automatic models have advanced techniques and

software with programmable HMI touch screen controls increasing
the productivity, sample consistency and minimize operator
intervention. Control of X/Y/Z Axis can also be performed with the
ergonomic proportional Joystick that offers smooth and precise
positioning.

Cutting Methods
Table feed cutting Chop cutting Diagonal cutting
Chop cutting (Z-axis) and Table feed cutting (Y-axis) combined with
pulse cutting is standard. New cutting methods ensures easy cutting
of large and complex specimens.

Multi-Slice Cutting

The optional automatic x-table allows programmable plane parallel

sectioning. Slices of equal thickness with number of slices as well as
programming slices of different thickness is possible.

Step cutting Y-axis Step cutting Z-axis Segment cutting

Optional Cutting Methods

Optional cutting methods make SERVOCUT 302 perfect choice for a

broad range of heavy-duty cutting applications.
Diagonal Cut: For increased cutting capacity.
Step Cut: For extra hard materials.
Segment Cut: For difficult and complex shaped materials.
Combined Cut: For increasing cutting capacity.

Cutting Parameters

The preselection of the cutting force level as well as the setting of

cutting feed rate (0,02-5mm/sec) is possible from the touch screen
LCD. The feed rate is automatically adjusted, if needed reduced,
resulting in perfect cuts and eliminating sample and machine
damage. Pulse cutting mode is a standard feature in all automatic
models for cutting extra hard specimens. Integrated speed regulating
unit is available to adjust the cut-off wheel speed between
600-4000 rpm.

Programmable Return Positions

SERVOCUT 302 has 3 different stop modes:

Stay at the end of cutting: Stops when the specimen has been cut through.
Back to starting point: Stops when it has returned to its starting point.
Back to reference point: Stops when the ultimate reset point in all
axes has been reached.
