Cut-off machine Qcut 500 A

The Qcut 500 A is the powerhouse of the large cut-off machine family. Equipped with a highly dynamic axis drive and automatic trave cut/chop cut functions, the system cuts large components with exceptional precision, minimal contact, and outstanding speed.

Fast, powerful cuts: The highly dynamic axis drive allows rapid traverses of up to 80 mm/s and greatly reduces cutting time
Versatile applications: Cutting of particularly long samples is easily possible thanks to side openings on both sides
Multi-Position Process (MPP): Simultaneous positioning and automatic cutting of different components on the machine table

Cut-off machine Qcut 500 A Features

Stainless steel machine table

Spacious machine table enables precise work even under heavy loads.
Integrated T-slots for the Easy clamping system for quick mounting of clamping tools
Efficient and reliable fixation of complex geometries using clamping devices
Load capacity up to 120 kg (including clamping devices)

Laser alignment

Optional laser alignment projects the cutting line directly onto the workpiece, enabling precise positioning and exact cut placement.
Easy positioning of workpieces
Precise clamping without much effort

Robust machine with large cutting chamber

Robust, powder-coated aluminum machine body features a large sliding door with scratch-resistant laminated safety glass and convenient side access door.
Machine body with integrable recirculating cooling unit and automatic central lubrication
Large cutting chamber access with safety interlock — doors open only when cut-off wheel is stationary
Side openings on the right and left for long samples

Precision cross feed

The table-integrated Z-axis maintains consistent cutting height while the automatic cross feed with serial cutting function delivers precise parallel cuts.
Simple and intuitive serial cutting
The multi-position process (MPP) allows more complex serial cutting to be carried out

Rotation tool

The optional rotation tool features a vertical rotary feed parallel to the wheel with software-controlled angle input.
More uniform cutting surfaces and cutting quality
Cutting time is halved for rotationally symmetrical parts
Protects against cut-off wheel run-out

Intuitive and easy operation

Large 12.1” industrial touchscreen with intuitive QATM user software and joystick.

Easily manage process parameters and create customer-specific maintenance tasks (200 user programs can be saved)
Parameters such as feed rate, travel distance, and cutting force can be changed during automatic operation

Pulsed cutting

For thick and difficult-to-cut materials, the adjustable automatic pulsed cutting provides gentle sectioning with optimal cooling of the cut interface.
Enhanced cutting results for larger components
Superior cooling of contact surfaces

Cutting force dependent feed control (X- and Y-Axis)

The feed rate automatically decreases when cutting force reaches a preset limit, protecting the machine, sample, and clamping tools from overloading.

Time savings thanks to variable feed rate
