Cutting module SKT 6000 with automatic cutting feed
This module consists of a cutting wheel, grinding wheel and a transport carriage.
To start the process operator places a sample into a sample holder and a sample holder into the carriage. As soon as a protective cover is closed, the discs could be launched. Carriage is automatically moved between the discs and its proximity to the disk is adjusted with a feed screw.
The cutting and grinding module rotational speed can be separately regulated from 300 to 3 000 rpm. Cutting speed and pressure remain constant. Damage of the sample is thereby prevented.

Innovative sample holder
Brand new holder by SM Contact has interchangeable jaws adapted to corresponding connection.
Its shape precisely follows the shape of a sample, while special stop block fixes the sample at the same horizontal axial position. As a result perpendicular sample position and proper cut guarantee valid measurement results.

Etching module SKE 3000
Etching is necessary to make relevant details of a cross-section more visible. The current is applied to the sample holder and a felt pen dipped in electrolyte is used as a cathode.
Two different electrolyte solutions are supplied: a slightly acidy and a neutral solution. Etching strengths are available from 0,35 A to 3,15 A. LED light indicates that etching is on.

Microscope LMX 2000
Prepared sample is located under the microscope to capture the image to be measured. 5x optics is equipped with LED lightinh and a shutter. Zoom lens with USB camera transfers the image to the standalone PC.

Viso 6.00 measurement software
Captured image is measured with a help of special software – Viso 6.00. Operator chooses the parameters to measure, its reference values and performs the measurement on a cross-section image: measurements with appropriate presets or comparison to the Control list.
It also provides dimensions detection and data export to PDF format.

Supply kit
All the necessary spare parts and consumables are included into supply kit: abrasive papers, cutting disks, etching pen inserts, electrolyte, crossline reticle etc. It is also available on stock on tooling.smcontact.eu

Special optics for microscope
Optics 0,75x and 0,5x for microscope are available upon request to change operating distance from the sample to the optics.

Viso 6.00 automatic quality control
All the measurement results could be automatically uploaded to Customer‘s private area in SM Cloud data storage. If they diverge from the Control list, SM Contact engineers get a signal and provide Customer with the assistance.
