Labotom-3
- Labotom-3 has a powerful 3.0 kW
/ 3.2 kW cutting motor and a cutting
capacity of up to 90 mm (3.5")
diameter.
- Cutting table with top surface of
stainless steel and integrated T-slots.
- Bright LED light in the cutting chamber.
- Adjustable cutting handle to suit the
height of the operator and the
table unit.
- Flush hose for cleaning the cutting
chamber.
Labotom-3 is a desirable option for ma-
terialographic laboratories preparing a
moderate number of specimens or for
sampling stations situated in production
units. It is simple to operate and practi-
cally no training is needed.
Easy and comfortable Operation
Labotom-3 is a compact table-top mo del
for abrasive wet cutting.
When opening the large protection
guard, there is free acces s for clamping
the workpiece and exchange of the cut-
off wheel. The closing of the protection
guard activates a hydraulic brake action.
A powerful LED lamp lights up the cut-
ting chamber and facilitates clamping and
monitoring the cutting operation through
the large window in the protection guard.
Cooling water is applied directly onto the
250 mm (10") dia. cut-off wheel resul-
ting in an excellent cooling of the cutting
area. The spring balanced cutting unit
gives a relaxed advance at the start of
cutting and a relaxed return when cut-
ting is finished. After cutting, the cutting
chamber can be cleaned with the built-in
flush hose.
The smooth surface of the base and a
large drain (50 mm dia.) make it easy to
flush away the swarf produced during
cutting.
The position of the cutting handle can
be adjusted to suit the height of the op-
erator and laboratory table. The simple
design of Labotom-3 makes it a very reli-
able machine with low maintenance.
Cutting Capacity
The left side wall is prepared for the in-
stallation* of an optional rubber curtain.
The projected cutting capacity for a
new cut-off wheel is up to 90 mm dia.
As workpieces can be placed in various
positions on the cutting table, the best
utilisation of the cut-off wheel can be
achieved, resulting in optimum cutting
capacity. Please see graph.
Cutting Capability
Struers' entire range of 250 mm dia. cut-
off wheels, including diamond and CBN
cut-off wheels, can be used, therefore
practically all types of materials can be
cut.
*) Only in countries where permitted by
local legislation.
Powerful manual
cut-off machine with high
cutting capacity
The ample motor power and efficient
cooling system enable fast cutting and
perfect, clean cuts.
Flexible clamping of the Workpiece
The integrated cutting table has three
10 mm T-slots, facilitating the use of
universal clamping tools.
Safety Features
The cutting motor will not start with the
protection guard open. Any attempt to
open the guard during cutting results in
a safety switch stopping the cutting
motor.
A thermal fuse stops the cutting motor
in the event of overload. The cut-off
machine can be connected to a fume
extraction system to vent any harmful
fumes produced during cutting.
