Supporting Φ300 mm or Φ350 mm wheels and powered by a strong 5.5 kW motor, it handles medium-to-large samples of metals, alloys, hardened steels, ceramics, composites, and other tough materials with smooth, stable operation, excellent rigidity, and efficient cooling—making it an ideal choice for metallographic preparation, quality control, and failure analysis workflows.

Specifications

Key Applications & Uses

• Metallographic sample preparation — Efficient sectioning of ferrous/non-ferrous metals, alloys, hardened tool steels, welds, forgings, castings, and heat-treated components for microstructure examination.
• Quality assurance & incoming inspection — Reliable cutting of medium-to-large test specimens, bar stock, tubes, and components in automotive, aerospace, heavy machinery, and manufacturing QA labs.
• Failure analysis laboratories — Clean, low-distortion cuts on failed parts, fracture surfaces, and large cross-section samples for accurate root-cause investigations.
• Industrial materials testing — Handles tough, high-hardness materials including some technical ceramics, composites, and refractory alloys in foundry, forging, and energy sector applications.
• Research & university labs — Versatile manual cutting for experimental alloys, prototype components, and research samples in materials science, mechanical engineering, and metallurgy departments.
• Tool & die making — Precise sectioning of tool steels, dies, punches, and mold components for quality evaluation and wear analysis.

Why Choose from G-Hexa?

• High cutting capacity in a manual format — Dual wheel compatibility (Φ300/350 mm) delivers up to Φ130 mm diameter and 90×130 mm square section capability—ideal for labs needing more power and size than benchtop models but preferring straightforward manual control.
• Exceptional stability & rigidity — Heavy-duty 285 kg construction with cast aluminum base and integrated worktable minimizes vibration, ensuring flat, repeatable cuts even under heavy loads.
• Effortless & efficient operation — Powerful 5.5 kW motor, ergonomic cutting arm, spacious clamping area, and upward-sliding safety door allow fast sample loading, secure fixturing, and comfortable manual chopping—perfect for high-throughput daily use.
• Superior cooling performance — Larger-diameter coolant pipes provide abundant, effective flood cooling to reduce heat-affected zones, extend wheel life, and produce cleaner metallographic surfaces.
• Simple, low-training interface — Intuitive control panel and ergonomic design make the machine easy to learn and operate—even for new lab staff—while delivering consistent professional results.
• Durable, trusted performance — Built for long-term reliability in busy labs, backed by G-Hexa’s precision engineering, prompt technical support, operator guidance, and full range of compatible abrasive wheels—serving universities, research institutions, pharma equipment manufacturers, biotech tooling, and industrial facilities across India.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: What is the difference between Φ300 mm and Φ350 mm wheel options? A: The Φ350 mm wheel increases maximum cutting diameter to Φ130 mm (vs. Φ110 mm with Φ300 mm) and provides slightly greater depth of cut—recommended when larger round or thicker samples are common in your workflow.

Q: Is the GHEXA-CUT-EQP-MAN-007 suitable for hardened or very tough materials? A: Yes—the 5.5 kW high-torque motor and rigid cast aluminum construction deliver powerful, stable cutting performance on hardened steels, tool steels, alloys, and other challenging materials with minimal operator effort.

Q: How does the upward-sliding safety door improve usability? A: The door slides upward for full, unobstructed access to the cutting chamber, allowing quick and safe placement of large or heavy samples and easier fixturing compared to conventional hinged or side-opening designs.

Q: What coolant system is recommended? A: Connect to a standard recirculating coolant tank (not included). The machine’s larger cooling pipes ensure strong flood cooling flow—G-Hexa can supply compatible coolant systems, pumps, and fittings tailored to your setup.

Q: Can it handle irregularly shaped samples? A: Yes—the spacious 385×330 mm vising table accommodates a wide range of standard vises and custom fixtures. Contact G-Hexa for recommendations on clamping solutions for irregular geometries or oversized workpieces.

Q: What abrasive wheels are compatible? A: Standard Φ300 mm or Φ350 mm resin- or rubber-bonded cut-off wheels are supported. Select based on material: Al₂O₃ for steels, SiC for non-ferrous/hard materials. G-Hexa offers optimized wheels and dressing accessories.

Q: What power supply does it require? A: Industrial 3-phase power (typically 380–415 V, 50 Hz). Exact specifications are confirmed at time of order—G-Hexa provides full electrical details and installation guidance for seamless setup in your laboratory or facility.
