Petrographic Precision Cutting Machine METCUT-10GEO

Metallographic cutting machines are metallographic sample making equipment and are also common equipment in laboratories, production lines, and quality workshops. Today, Kemai Metallurgy will share with you a few details that need to be noted during the use of metallographic cutting machines. The details are as follows:


1. Place of use safety: Metallographic cutting machines are not allowed to be used in places with explosive dust, flammable gases or liquids. Because the equipment itself generates a certain amount of heat and sparks during operation.


2. Stable and firm workbench: It is required that the workbench on which the metallographic cutting machine is installed should be relatively stable and firm, and the platform should be kept level. Only in this way can the supporting wheels at the four corners of the metallographic cutting machine base be leveled, installed firmly, and rotated flexibly. Ensure that the machine is placed in a balanced and reliable manner, and there is no obvious vibration during operation.


3. The protective cover must be safe and reliable: The cutting chamber of the metallographic cutting machine has a transparent protective cover. Only when the protective cover is fully locked can the cutting operation be started. This not only prevents misoperation and increases safety, but also prevents cutting debris and coolant splashing out, which is safe and environmentally friendly.


4. Power off first, then replace: When the metallographic cutting blade needs to be replaced, the machine must be shut down and the power must be cut off before removing the old cutting blade and replacing it with a new one. When installing the cutting blade, it is necessary to follow the installation procedure, and do not try to save time to avoid phenomena such as loose fastening, eccentricity, and imbalance, which may lead to hidden dangers.


5. Formal operation after balance test: After replacing the cutting blades of the metallographic cutting machine, a trial operation should be conducted to observe whether there is obvious vibration. Only after confirming its normal operation can it be put into use.


6. Grounding protection: Every device must have grounding protection. This matter should be carried out by professionals with electrician certificates.


7. The fixed clamping device should be intact: fixed clamping devices such as vises and fixtures should be flexible in operation and able to clamp reliably; The handwheel, screw, nut, etc. must be in good condition to ensure that the sample can be firmly clamped and increase safety.


8. Power off and clean after use: After use, cut off the power supply, clean and place it properly. Although this may seem inconspicuous, keeping the equipment clean for a long time can help extend its lifespan and improve its cutting ability. Friendly reminder: Although some models of metallographic cutting machines have a self-cleaning function, safety awareness should still be established.


9. Adequate lighting: Especially when used at night, there should be sufficient lighting.


10. Operation can only be carried out after the cutting blade stops: Sampling before the cutting blade stops poses a risk of being cut. Opening the protective cover at this time may cause debris and coolant to fly out, posing a safety hazard. Friendly reminder: Some models of metallographic cutting machines have self braking function, but attention should still be paid.


11. Cooling should be in place: After cutting the sample, the cutting surface of the sample and the cutting blades of the equipment may be very hot, posing a risk of burns. Although most models of metallographic cutting machines have cooling systems, there is still a possibility of insufficient cooling.
