  • parameters
Ø   MECATOME ST310 with its PRESI exclusive swing arm action provides for increased length of longitudinal cut capacity and rapid sectioning without burning making it the highest performer in its class.
Ø   The utilisation of new technology for motor speed control provides constant wheel rotation speed even during the toughest cuts. A choice of 250mm or 300mm diameter cut-off blades coupled with up to 4 pre-set rotational speeds provides the optimum cutting condition for a wide range of materials. The MECATOME ST310 has been designed with the need to be able to easily accommodate samples that are longer than the chamber through the use of removable side ports. Sample set up is easy with the raised “T” slot bed, large, well lit cutting chamber and wide open access thanks to a fully retracting hood. Observation of the sample during the cutting operation is enhanced with the provision of extra-large windows in the hood.
Ø   The cutting table of the MECATOME ST310 has removable “T” slot beds made of stainless steel that can accommodate a wide range of sample fi xturing devices. A recirculating coolant tank is included that is equipped with a fi ltering system to trap swarf and abrasive debris for a cleaner supply of coolant to the cut. An integrated stainless steel spray nozzle makes for easy wash down of the cutting chamber. The MECATOME ST310 is well suited for any metallurgical laboratory or for workshop use.


Ø   Memorisation: the most recent parameters applied are memorised. This is particularly helpful for mass cutting, or for cutting identical workpieces.
Ø   Automatic regulation: an electronic device measuring the effort of the various motors regulates the forward motion of the working table during automatic cycles. Maximum and minimum thresholds may be easily configured by the operator to adapt the parameters on the basis of the types of workpieces and materials. It is also possible to configure response time for adjustment.
Ø   Pulsation cutting: the MECATOME T 300 has 2 cutting modes: direct or with pulse cutting system. With the direct mode,  automatic forward motion is continuous, and only speed is regulated if necessary. With the pulse system mode, forward motion is alternated with stops for optimum cooling of the workpiece. Forward motion and stopping time may be configured separately per 1/10th of a second. Forward motion speed may be regulated.
Ø   Frequency inverter: "inverter" technology. This unit controls the three-phase motors. The following functions are used on the MECATOME T 300: speed regulator, constant torque and speed independently to load, progressive acceleration and  immediate stop, overload safety device and feedback for a steady forward motion according to effort.
Ø   Filtering: new generation filters have been developed for the MECATOME T 300 in order to improve the quality of cutting, but importantly to simplify user tasks such as cleaning the machine or draining the cooling tray. The cooling tray only contains cooling water, and the liquid is clear and practically free of deposits and cutting waste. Draining is simple and infrequent.
Ø   Safety locking: in application of safety standards, interlocking prevents the cover from opening during the cutting cycle when the disk is rotating.
