A large feed fable located in the utters generous. work area can smmodate a variety of diferent clamping devices which need to be selected. The feed table provides a long travel depth making the GEOCUT ideal for cutting long oF deep in a single pass, XY Cross table is available as standard for parallel and serial cutting. Cooling water recirculating system is an optional part of GEOCUT, Cooling is effected by two water jts located on both sides of cutoff wheel EOCLT cutting machines have the highest safely standards. The interlocking safety deviee does not allow the ‘motor tobe started unless the hood is closed. The hood can rot be opened before the cutting motor is stopped. The electronic brake system, which is a standard feature, brings the cutter to a quick fll stop in seconds after it has been switched oft. Many petrographic cutting applications require the ofa tioning "en from an itegular shaped sample. The ema S82 oF inegular sampie shape can create posiioning and clamping difcuties for the operator. To overcome thes difficulties, METKON offere @ number of special clamping devices for use with GEOCUT petrographic cutter‘* Precision thin sectioning instrument for mineralogy. Cutting and Grinding processes combined, ‘© Specimen Holder with Vacuum for standard slides. ‘© Built in micrometer with digital readout. © Water cooling Preparing thin sections requires highly precise instuments and knowhow. GEOFOAM is a bench-top instrument that wil cut and ‘find down to 30 microns or lees depending ‘on the hardness of the material because mineralogical speci lly hard and soft phases, (GEOFORM has to parts: Cuting and Grinding Onthe cuting module, the specimen is fixed fon a holder with vacuum and resectioned upto a thickness of approx. 0.5mm, Water ccadling durng cutting avoids deformation SOFORM can accomodate diamond and IN cutott discs upto 200 mm diameter eet Egenoricaly designed font panel (abo pavogrepty sie (let) ‘The gtincing module is designed for precision grinding, A universal vacuum holder accepts ferent sizes of glass sides by changing the location pins. A vacuum pump delvered as standard holds the glase sce fied on the holder during grinding process. A builtin digital ‘micrometer ensures high precision and the specimen is ground with an accuracy of 2 microns. Diamond cutting disc and grinding wheels are both on the same spindle which isprecsaly aligned forhigh accuracy. A dul in-line fitering unit removes the moisture from the vacuum line and drains into the cutting chamber when the vacuum pump is turned oftca * Compact and simple * Buin vacuum sytem with Gauge * Efficient impregnation ‘* Multi-specimen application, VACUMET is designed for embedding {and impregnation of porous materials. It removes the trapped air from the mounting material and elrinates the gaps between the specimen and the Most mineralogical spacimens have porosities, cavities and cracks and. ther fore need to be embedged under vacuum, VACUMET fulfils this requir ment easily and effcienty. In addition, \VACUMET can also be used for glueing the specimens on the glass slides for further processing inthin sacton preparation.
