Video: A unique look behind the protective shield of the updated Secotom precision cutter

Discover all the advantages of one of our most popular precision cutting machines, the Secotom, in this unique look behind its protective shield. You will experience the automatic X-movement, which supersedes re-positioning of the workpiece, the super easy settings that require hardly any training, the option of sectioning a wide range of sizes, shapes, and material with the ultra-flexible T-slot table - and much more.

Laser light points out the position for your cut

The laser light is a great help when clamping, as it points out the position for your cut. This makes positioning easy and fast.

Intuitive user interface makes for ultra-easy operation

The Secotom requires no programming, and there is no risk of your getting lost in complex menus. It is designed with a large color display for easy operation. The navigation and change of parameters works quickly and easily by a turn/push knob.

Large, movable table for sectioning large and deep workpieces

The cutting table measures 258 x 184 mm / 12.2" x 7.2" and is ideal for sectioning large and deep workpieces. The flexibility of this large cutting table makes it optimal for clamping.

Automatic X-movement for serial cutting without re-positioning

An optional X-table allows for serial cutting without re-positioning which make the cutting sequence much faster.

Cut-off wheel height adjustment

The cut-off wheel in Secotom can be height adjusted to a range of 40 mm (1.6") which makes it possible to use a variety of clamping tools and stands for dovetail specimen holders. In addition, it enables the use of a large variety of cut-off wheel sizes, and makes it easy to compensate for wheel wear.

Build-in recirculation cooling tank for a smaller footprint

The build-in recirculation tank grants you a smaller footprint and better accessibility. The tank has a barrier inside to catch the largest cutting debris which reduces blockage of the cooling nozzles.

ExciCut mode for hard materials minimizes the risk of thermal damage

ExciCut is used when sectioning extremely hard materials that cannot be sectioned directly, minimizing the risk of thermal damage of the workpiece. ExciCut works by moving the cut-off wheel up and down as the cutting table moves forward. This ensures that a small contact area between the cut-off wheel and the workpiece and provides better access for the coolant.

OptiFeed intelligent feed control to avoid motor overload

Sectioning irregular sized workpieces can be difficult, as the risk of damage to the workpiece or the cut-off wheel is high. As the contact area between the workpiece and wheel gets larger, the force increases to maintain the preset feed speed, and this may overload the cut-off machine. But thanks to OptiFeed, the feed speed is automatically reduced in this situation, and when the contact area gets smaller again, the feed speed is automatically increased to the preset maximum.

Direct connection to external exhaust system

Sectioning certain materials may produce both harmful and unpleasant fumes. For a healthier environment, Secotom is prepared for direct connection to an external exhaust system, in line with our general recommendation to install an exhaust from the cutting chamber.

Optional Manual Dresser

The manual dresser makes it easy to dress diamond and CBN cut-off wheels. The cutting ability gradually reduces when sectioning, and the cut-off wheel rim will appear shiny because of the workpiece’s material deposits on the wheel surface and wear on the abrasive. The cutting ability can be restored by dressing, and the manual dresser makes it easy. You can even dress while sectioning to ensure the best result.
