High-precision silicing saw (SS150)

The SS 150 machine allows to thin slide-mounted rock chips as low as 200-μm prior to final lapping with an extreme precision. The compact bench-top unit is made of a heavy duty frame that provides stable and vibration free base. The 150-mm-diameter diamond cutting blade， powered by an AC motor， rotates at fixed speed of 4，000 RPM. A sliding weight arm enables the end user to exert constant force on specimen while cutting. The saw blade passes parallel to the slide holder at an adjustable distance， from 0.2 mm to 20 mm. The distance can be accurately set using a digital micrometer that precisely controls specimen thickness with a resolution of 5 μm. A versatile vacuum chuck allows various slide sizes to be used. A cutting compartment with transparent hood collects the coolant， thus reducing splashing and reducing noise. The device sits on a cabinet that includes a coolant recirculation unit made of a 10-litre capacity coolant tank and induction pump. A single stage rotary vacuum pump provides the specimen holder with vacuum source.
