How does Labotom support your Cutting Process?

Optimize process time with highly efficient setup and operation

A fast and efficient specimen analysis process starts with the sectioning. With Labotom, any operator can section workpieces quickly and efficiently, to help optimize your inspection process. Setting up a cut is fast and simple. No programming is required and there are just three buttons: Start, Stop and Flush. To further increase efficiency, Labotom’s large cutting table has 10 mm T-slots for flexible clamping and the fixed cooling nozzle eliminates the need to place nozzles manually.

Experience high flexibility with one solution for different workpieces

Labotom may be the only cutting machine you ever need. The large cutting table and versatile cut-off wheel can handle a wide range of workpieces – of different shapes, sizes, complexities and materials. For very long workpieces, the machine has extension tunnel options. Find your Labotom-20 consumables here > Find your clamping tool here >

Minimize downtime with integrated cleaning

Cleaning can be one of the most time-consuming parts of the cutting process. Not with Labotom. To minimize cleaning time, Labotom includes an integrated flushing gun and big drain. This means any debris is quickly and easily washed away.

Simple operating panel

The large cutting table and safety guard enable you to access the cutting table from three sides, so you can position and maneuver large or odd-sized workpieces with ease. The work area is illuminated with a LED light for better visibility when working.

With extension tunnel options, you can section workpieces of any length.

Optional extension tunnel for long workpieces

The large cutting table has 10 mm T-slots. These work perfectly with Struers’ range of clamping tools for fast clamping of any workpiece, including small, large or odd-shaped workpieces.

10 mm T-slots for flexible clamping

The advanced design of the fixed cooling nozzle ensures optimal cooling, even as the cut-off wheel becomes smaller through use, which reduces the risk of burns.

The smooth movement of the cutting handle gives greater control during sectioning.

The integrated and adjustable flushing gun makes it easy to clean between cuts. There is a big drain with a smooth sloped surface to ensure it is easy to wash debris away.

Adjustable flushing gun for faster cleaning

The base of the machine is made of gray cast alloy to ensure maximum durability and a long lifetime.

Durable design for less maintenance

To further increase efficiency, the specimen collector catches the cut specimens, so the operator does not spend time trying to find them.

Guiding lines on the cutting table make workpiece alignment fast and simple. There are also guiding lines on the safety guard to enable better operator control during sectioning.
