Specifications

Save time, improve results. Go directly from the Labcut^® 5000 to test

Designed for rigidity and high precision, the Labcut 5000^® advanced composite plate saws achieve precise cutting in a diverse range of materials to prepare highly accurate composite test specimens.

The Labcut 5000^® Series saws cut up to 55 mm material thickness and are available in two standard models and one economy, accommodating cleared panel sizes:

Standard

2 x 2 ft (600 x 600 mm)
4 x 4 ft (1220 x 1220 mm)

Economy

1 x 1 ft (300 mm x 300 mm)

Customized special order units can be designed to fit the specific cutting requirements including greater cut depths.

Fast & Accurate

Rapid, automatic cutting for preparation of highly accurate test specimens from composite materials.

Safe & Simple

Fully enclosed cutting environment and conversational CNC system for easy programming.

Precision Cutting

For optimal performance and precision cutting, we supply a range of recommended cutting blades, coolants and filter bags.

Using the appropriate cutting wheel is critical for precision cutting and accuracy.
The use of cutting fluid* is always recommended for the highest quality cut surface.

Extec has developed a range of blades to cover cutting requirements across a wide variety of laminates. Additionally, while our general purpose blades are suitable for most needs, we offer custom-designed blades to achieve the best surface finish in specific material cutting applications.

*In some cases the use of lubricant is not possible so we’ve developed a range of continuous rim (diamond) cutting wheels for both wet and dry general purpose cutting.
