Abrasive Cutting Machine – HCM-50

HCM-50 Abrasive cutting machine designed to cut various metal and non-metal samples to optimum quality. It is helpful to prepare specimens in factories, scientific research institutes, laboratories, and colleges. Large space in the cutting zone offers flexibility to use a wide variety of fixtures. Also in this model has a cooling system to reduce the heat produced during the cutting process to avoid burning the metallographic structure of the specimen because of heat. Suitable for a variety of applications including small gears, medium-sized auto components and shafts. It is a type of industrial tool used for cutting hard materials such as metal, ceramic, glass, and stone. It employs abrasive wheels or discs to grind or slice through the workpiece, achieving precision cuts and shaping.

Here are some key features :

1. Abrasive Wheels/Discs: These are the cutting tools used in the machine, consisting of abrasive particles bonded together. They are available in various types, such as bonded abrasives (grinding wheels) or coated abrasives (sandpaper-like discs).
2. Cutting Table/Workbench: The machine usually has a sturdy cutting table or workbench where the workpiece is securely held during the cutting process. The table may have adjustable features to accommodate different angles and positions.
3. Power Source: Abrasive cutting machines can be powered by electricity, hydraulics, or pneumatics, depending on the model and application.
4. Drive System: The machine has a drive system that rotates the abrasive wheel or disc at high speeds to perform the cutting action. This can be achieved through an electric motor, hydraulic system, or other mechanisms.
5. Cutting Fluids: To reduce heat and friction during the cutting process and prolong the life of the abrasive wheel, cutting fluids are often used. These fluids may include water-soluble coolants, oils, or emulsions.
6. Safety Features: Given the potential hazards associated with abrasive cutting, safety features such as guards, shields, emergency stop buttons, and protective clothing are incorporated to ensure operator safety.
7. Controls and Operation: Abrasive cutting machines can have different control mechanisms, ranging from manual operation to advanced computer numerical control (CNC) systems. CNC-controlled machines offer enhanced precision and automation.
8. Dust/Vapor Extraction: To minimize the release of hazardous particles and fumes generated during cutting, many machines are equipped with dust or vapor extraction systems. These systems help maintain a cleaner and safer working environment.
