Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: What types of materials can the GHEXA-CUT-EQP-AUTO-004 cut effectively? A: It excels with metals (steels, alloys, aluminum, copper, titanium, etc.), hardened materials, and some technical ceramics/composites. It is optimized for metallographic preparation of samples up to Φ110 mm diameter or 80×200 mm rectangular cross-section.

Q: How many cutting programs can be saved? A: The 7-inch touchscreen allows storage and quick recall of up to 20 sets of customized cutting parameters—perfect for labs handling multiple material types or recurring sample geometries.

Q: What is the benefit of pulse cutting with automatic speed adjustment? A: Pulse mode combined with intelligent speed adjustment reduces cutting stress, minimizes heat generation, prevents wheel loading, and produces cleaner, flatter surfaces—especially valuable for hard or heat-sensitive samples.

Q: Does the machine support fully unattended operation? A: Yes—X-Y-Z three-axis linkage, programmable modes, and automatic adjustments enable fully automatic cutting sequences after initial setup and clamping, freeing operators for other tasks.

Q: What clamping options are available? A: It includes a standard fast vise for quick, secure holding. Various optional specialized fixtures are available for irregular shapes, small samples, or specific orientations—contact G-Hexa for your application requirements.

Q: Is laser alignment helpful for precise cuts? A: Yes—the integrated laser precisely indicates the cutting plane, allowing accurate positioning of the cut line on the sample—critical for preserving specific features or achieving exact section planes.

Q: What power and installation requirements apply? A: The machine requires standard industrial 3-phase power (typically 380–415 V, 50 Hz). G-Hexa provides detailed electrical specs, on-site installation guidance, and operator training upon purchase.

Q: Are compatible abrasive wheels and accessories available? A: Yes—G-Hexa supplies a full range of high-quality Φ300 mm resin- and rubber-bonded abrasive cut-off wheels optimized for different material hardnesses, along with replacement parts and maintenance support.
