Core and Rock Sample Cutting Machine

DESCRIPTION

Laboratory Core and Rock Sample Trimming & Cutting Machine is engineered for precise cutting and trimming of both cylindrical core samples and irregular geological specimens. Widely used in geology, mining, and construction materials laboratories, it enables clean and controlled sectioning of various rock types, ensuring reliable sample preparation for analysis and testing.

Fitted with a 400 mm diamond blade, the machine delivers smooth and accurate cuts—even on the hardest materials. The micrometric feed mechanism allows fine adjustment of slice thickness, while V-block clamps and optional fixtures securely hold both standard and irregular samples during operation.

Its compact, fully enclosed design, combined with safety interlock switches and an emergency stop button, makes it especially suitable for laboratory settings where operator safety and sample integrity are essential.

🔧 Typical Applications

  • Trimming of cylindrical core samples
  • Slicing of irregular rock specimens
  • Thin-section preparation for microscopy
  • Standardized laboratory sample sectioning

📐 Key Technical Specifications

  • Diamond Blade Diameter: 400 mm

  • Blade Rotation Speed: 1400 rpm

  • Max Core Sample Size: Ø130 mm × 650 mm

  • Max Irregular Sample Size: 150 mm × 150 mm × 650 mm

 is designed for both cutting and trimming of cylindrical rock cores and irregular geological specimens. Widely used in geology, mining, and construction material laboratories, it ensures clean and controlled slicing of various rock types, contributing to reliable sample preparation for further analysis and testing.

Equipped with a 400 mm diamond blade, this machine delivers smooth and accurate cuts, even on very hard materials. The micrometric feed system allows the operator to adjust slice thickness with precision, while V-block clamps and optional fixtures securely hold both regular and irregular samples during operation.

The machine is engineered with advanced safety features to meet modern laboratory standards. Its fully enclosed cabinet design minimizes the risk of contact with the cutting blade, debris ejection, and water splash during operation. The transparent front door allows users to monitor the cutting process safely.

Equipped with a safety interlock switch, the machine will not operate unless the front door is completely closed. This ensures operator safety and prevents unintended startup.

In addition, the system includes a prominently placed emergency stop button, allowing the operator to immediately halt the machine in case of any hazard. This button is easily accessible and designed for quick action.
