How does Axitom support your Cutting Process?

Automatic X- and Y-table for sectioning in series and of extra-long workpieces

With the automatic X-table, great possibilities open. Axitom cutting machines, equipped with the automatic X-table, have a total of four Multi-Cut modes available, which enables you to do serial sectioning without repositioning your workpiece. The automatic Y-table is for extra-deep workpieces and extra-large specimens using the AxioCut cutting mode.

ExciCut for hard materials and reducing cut-off wheel costs

ExciCut mode is an oscillating movement of the cut-off wheel to reduce the contact area with the workpiece and minimize the risk of thermal damage. In this way you can section very hard materials with better results and a better lifetime of the cut-off wheel.

AxioCut step for fast sectioning of extra-large workpieces

AxioCut Step is a movement of both the automatic Y-table and the cut-off wheel to enhance the cutting capacity. The table has a movement of 150 mm (5.9”), and the possible sample size to be sectioned is thus increased by the same amount. This means that Axitom-5/400 can handle workpieces up to 125 x 290 mm / 4.9” x 11.4” and Axitom-5 can handle workpieces up to 110 x 245 mm / 4.3” x 9.6. The cut-off wheel moves up and down the sample, minimizing the contact area, and avoiding overheating and thermal damage.

AxioWash automatic cleaning program – a minimum effort to keep your machine in top shape

Maintenance and cleaning can be some of the most time-consuming elements of the cutting process, but not with the Axitom cutting machine. AxioWash is Struers’ patented cleaning program that automatically cleans the inside of the machine, and afterwards, you only need to clean the horizontal surfaces inside the chamber. That’s it - the machine is now ready for the following day. When AxioWash is used every day, only a minimum of effort is needed.

OptiFeed intelligent feed control to avoid motor overload

Struers has developed OptiFeed intelligent feed control to eliminate the risk of damaging your workpiece, the cut-off wheel, or the motor when sectioning materials with varying properties which require different feed speed settings. With the help from OptiFeed, Axitom continuously measures the load on the cutting arm. The pre-set feed and force values are maximum values, and when the machine detects force exceeding the pre-set force limit, it will automatically decrease the feed speed to protect the workpiece, cut-off wheel, and equipment. The speed is automatically adjusted up and down to aim for a force as close to the limit as possible. The feed is thereby constantly optimized without sacrificing the quality of the cut or good wheel economy, and you get the fastest possible cut.

Store cutting sequences and save valuable time when setting up

Save setup time by storing cutting sequences for reoccurring workpieces, ensuring that your samples are ideal for the next step in your preparation process. Choose from four different serial cutting modes to do your serial sectioning exactly as you want.

Three-axes joystick and multi-function knob for fast and easy positioning

Intuitive user interface combined with the easy to use multifunction knob and positioning of the three axes with the joystick, makes the machine programming fast and ensures a precise setup of cutting sequences.

Optional 350/400 mm cut-off wheel

Choose the Axitom model with the right cut-off wheel size to fit your exact needs. Depending on the size of your workpieces, choose the Axitom model with cut-off wheel size giving the right capacity for your application. See the bottom of this page for the different Axitom models.

12 mm T-slots clamping tools for virtually anything!

Choose from a wide range of versatile 12 mm T-slot clamping tools. Enjoy the easy clamping of different geometries with the use of Struers quick clamps or vertical clamps. A wide range of support tools are available for more advanced geometries. See the Axitom brochure for the full selection.

AutoStop allows you to leave the machine unattended

You can program Axitom to stop automatically when it registers that the workpiece is cut through. This saves you time as it ensures that the cut is always followed through completely.
