Description

Floor Standing Unit High Speed Cutting Machine

Cutting Head

The 32mm/1 1/4in diameter spindle is belt driven by a powerful 5.5kW/7.5HP 3 Phase motor. The long life sealed spindle bearings do not require lubrication. The cutting head is lowered using an adjustable side lever. A hydrocheck attached to the cutting head can be used to ensure controlled, but adjustable, cutting pressure for different users. A variable stop limits the downward stroke of the cutting head. Abrasive or Diamond Cutting Wheels from 250/10in to 350mm/14in diameter can be fitted. The wheel speed is set at 2500 rpm; other belt and pulley combinations give different wheel speeds for particular applications.

Work Table

The work table has T slots for fitting the 2 quick lock vices. The vices have 95mm/3 3/4in capacity. The side access ports in the canopy can be used for introducing long bars of maximum size through the vices.

Electronics

The electronics are contained in a compartment mounted on the rear panel. The front control panel has switching for the various machine functions. The canopy is interlocked by a timed safety switch and cannot be opened whilst the wheel is running. It has a large front viewing windows and 2 side windows. Access ports on both sides of the canopy are provided for cutting long bars of material.

Coolant Circulation

The machine can be used for wet or dry cutting. A coolant tank is located in the base cabinet. The 55l/min circulation pump ensures adequate supply of coolant in the cutting area. Flexible coolant jets are provided for directing the coolant as required.
