GHEXA-CUT-ACC-006 Splitting Fixture

Product Short Description The GHEXA-CUT-ACC-006 Splitting Fixture is a compact, precision-engineered accessory designed for secure and accurate splitting of small samples on manual abrasive cutting machines. With a narrow 30 mm jaw width and 45 mm travel range, this fixture provides controlled, parallel clamping ideal for thin sections, small test coupons, delicate specimens, and miniature components. Featuring an M6 threaded T-slot block for quick mounting, it ensures stable positioning and minimal vibration during precise cuts—perfect for labs requiring careful handling of limited-size or fragile metallographic samples on the GHEXA-CUT-EQP-MAN-006 manual sectioning system.

Specifications

Key Applications & Uses

• Precise splitting and sectioning of small metallographic coupons, thin sheets, wires, fasteners, small forgings, and miniature test pieces
• Secure clamping of delicate or brittle samples (ceramics, composites, coated materials, electronic components) to prevent cracking or deformation
• Preparation of small cross-sections for microscopic analysis, inclusion studies, grain size evaluation, and phase identification
• Supporting low-volume or specialized sample preparation in university research labs, materials science departments, and R&D facilities
• Enabling accurate cutting of tiny or irregularly shaped specimens in pharma, biotech, failure analysis, and quality control laboratories
• Facilitating serial or multi-sample workflows where space is limited and precise alignment is critical for downstream grinding, polishing, and examination

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: Which machine is the GHEXA-CUT-ACC-006 Splitting Fixture designed for? A: It is specifically compatible with the GHEXA-CUT-EQP-MAN-006 manual abrasive sectioning machine.

Q: What makes this fixture suitable for small or delicate samples? A: The narrow 30 mm jaw width and controlled 45 mm travel range, combined with fine-thread clamping, provide gentle, even pressure to securely hold tiny, thin, or fragile specimens without crushing or distorting them.

Q: How is the fixture mounted on the cutting machine? A: It attaches directly via the M6 threaded T-slot block into the machine’s T-slotted worktable, ensuring quick setup, precise alignment, and vibration-free operation.

Q: Can this fixture be used for very thin or brittle materials? A: Yes—it excels at clamping thin sections, ceramics, composites, and coated samples; for extremely delicate items, consider adding protective jaw liners or soft pads (available from G-Hexa).

Q: Is it possible to process multiple small samples at once? A: Yes—the compact design allows use of multiple fixtures side-by-side on the worktable (space permitting) for efficient batch splitting or serial cutting of small specimens.

Q: Does the fixture support angled or multi-position cuts? A: While optimized for straight splitting, it provides stable holding for repositioned or angled setups when combined with the machine’s adjustable table features.

Q: How does it differ from standard vises for larger samples? A: Unlike broader vises for large samples, this fixture’s narrower jaws and shorter travel are purpose-built for precision work on miniature components, offering better control and reduced risk of over-clamping.
