Specifications

Key Applications & Uses

• Metallographic sample preparation — Fast, clean sectioning of ferrous/non-ferrous metals, alloys, steels, aluminum, copper, brass, and heat-treated parts for routine microstructure analysis.
• Quality control & production inspection — Efficient cutting of bar stock, tubes, fasteners, castings, forgings, and machined components in manufacturing and incoming inspection labs.
• Failure analysis — Precise cuts on failed parts, fracture surfaces, welds, and test coupons with minimal heat damage thanks to strong flood cooling.
• Non-metallic materials — Suitable for sectioning some technical ceramics, composites, hardened plastics, and other non-metals commonly encountered in materials testing.
• University & teaching laboratories — Ideal for student training in metallurgy, materials science, mechanical engineering, and manufacturing courses due to its safety features, ease of use, and clear visibility.
• Industrial workshops & small-to-medium labs — Reliable daily cutting in automotive, aerospace subcontractors, tool rooms, foundries, and general materials testing facilities.

Why Choose from G-Hexa?

• Enhanced operator & environmental safety — Dual safety mechanisms (safety lock + emergency stop), Omron low-voltage controls, waterproof motor, and enclosed low-noise design prioritize user protection and compliance in busy lab settings.
• Effective cooling & long-term reliability — Powerful flood cooling prevents burning and distortion, while the independent coolant tank with integrated filter captures debris—extending wheel and machine life while keeping the workspace cleaner.
• Clear visibility & ergonomic control — Large observation window with bright internal lighting lets operators monitor the cut in real time; combined with an ergonomic handle and simple panel, it reduces fatigue and improves cut consistency.
• Balanced capacity & footprint — Handles up to Φ80 mm diameter / 60×130 mm sections with a compact footprint and moderate 100–105 kg weight—perfect for bench or floor placement in space-conscious university, R&D, pharma tooling, biotech, and industrial labs.
• Speed flexibility (CT-250V variant) — Adjustable wheel speed (1000–3500 rpm) allows optimization for different material hardnesses and wheel types, while the fixed-speed CT-250S offers straightforward plug-and-play reliability.
• Trusted quality & support — Built for durability and backed by G-Hexa’s precision engineering, prompt service, operator training, and ready supply of compatible 250 mm abrasive wheels—serving research institutions, universities, and industrial laboratories across India.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: What is the difference between CT-250S and CT-250V variants? A: The CT-250S has a fixed 2800 rpm wheel speed for simple, consistent operation. The CT-250V offers variable speed (1000–3500 rpm) for greater flexibility when cutting materials of different hardnesses or using specialized wheels.

Q: What materials can the GHEXA-CUT-EQP-MAN-008 cut? A: It excels with metals (steels, alloys, aluminum, copper, etc.), some non-metals (technical ceramics, composites, hardened plastics), and other samples up to Φ80 mm diameter or 60×130 mm rectangular cross-section.

Q: How effective is the cooling system? A: The powerful flood cooling, combined with an independent tank and filter, efficiently removes heat, prevents workpiece burning, reduces thermal damage, and extends abrasive wheel life while collecting debris for easier maintenance.

Q: Is the machine safe for student or multi-user labs? A: Yes—dual safety features (safety lock + emergency stop), low-voltage Omron controls, waterproof motor, and fully enclosed low-noise design make it exceptionally safe and suitable for teaching labs, shared facilities, and frequent operator changes.

Q: What type of abrasive wheels are compatible? A: Standard Φ250 mm (10-inch) resin- or rubber-bonded cut-off wheels are supported. Use Al₂O₃ wheels for ferrous metals and SiC wheels for non-ferrous/hard materials. G-Hexa supplies optimized wheels for your specific applications.

Q: Does it require a separate coolant system? A: No—the machine includes an independent cooling tank with filter. Simply fill with appropriate coolant; G-Hexa can recommend compatible recirculating pumps or coolant formulations if needed.

Q: What power supply is required? A: Standard industrial 3-phase power (typically 380–415 V, 50 Hz). Exact electrical specifications are provided with each unit—G-Hexa offers full installation guidance and support for seamless setup in your laboratory.
