Labcut 5000 Series Precision Composite Plate Saw

The Labcut 5000 Series Precision Composite Plate Saw is built for precise cutting of composite materials for preparation of highly accurate composite test specimens.

The 5000 Series features four models accomodating for the cutting of 2 foot by 2 foot and 4 foot by 4 foot composite sheets with thickness anywhere from 0.75 to 1.50 inches.

All units include EZ-Pad easy to use electronic keypad controls and DRO (digital read out) for simple machine operation.

Features:

Main frame with slatted work table, internal recirculating coolant system
Cutting head with variable speed traverse
Precision fence mechanism for accurate width cut
Control module includes an EZ-Pad and DRO (digital read out)

The main frame construction has a flat stainless steel slatted worktable with stainless drip tray immediately below it. A small insert table is located at one end of the worktable so the small pieces of material can be handled more easily. The width of the table is made to accommodate the width of sheet being sectioned

Pneumatic Sheet Clamps

For accurate sectioning the composite sheet need to be firmly clamped during cutting. For this purpose pneumatic clamps are fitted to the worktable the entire length of the cutting head traverse. The clamping surfaces are rubberised for improved clamping of long sheets

Cutting Head Traverse

With the Labcut 5000 Series Precision Composite Plate Saws the cutting head moves accurately along linear bars so that the alignment of the cutting wheel to the material fence and wheel slot is crucial for accurate parallel sections. For the standard models, 40mm linear bars are fitted with the longer length model has 60mm linear bars for stability.

The cutting head is powered by a 3kW/4hp (5000 Series) or 5.5kW/7.5hp motor (5100 Series) motor. It can be automatically raised or lowered to take account of thickness and depth of cut. The material is clamped to the work table with pneumatic clamps on both sides. Coolant jets are positioned inside the wheel guard on either side of the wheel to spray coolant on the cutting area.

Automatic raise/lower of cutting head position (5000 Series) or automatic positioning of cutting head position according to the wheel diameter (5100 Series)
Long pneumatic strips clamping composite sheet on both sides of cutting line
Cutting head traversing on linear bars for accuracy
Cutting head motor 3kW/4hp (5000 Series) or 5.5kW/7.5hp (5100 Series)
Coolant jets incorporated into wheel guard
Cutting head traverse speed is variable (requires inverter) via the EZ-Pad DRO

More Accurate Fence Mechanism

Fence has been designed for precision accuracy over the longest cut lengths, moving along linear bars.

Fence position control via DRO
Pneumatic lock for a stable fence position during sectioning

Control Module Design

Cutting machine operation controlled from EZ-Pad
Digital readout of fence position to 0.1mm
Optional wheel speed variation can be operated from EZ-Pad

Optional

(5100 Series Pictured)

Option - Inverter for wheel speed variation

The ability to change cutting wheel speed between 2000 and 5000rpm enables optimum wheel speed for a particular cutting blade to be set

Option - Paper Band Filter Unit

Cutting Composite materials tend to block the coolant circulation system. Using a moving filter roll keeps the coolant fresh and filters all the sludge.
