MSX Series Metallographic Sectioning

The MSX Series of sectioning machines allow metallographers to section samples small to large.

MSX205

The MSX205 sectioning machine is perfect for creating small sections for electronics and fasteners. This versatile sectioning machine offers both linear and radial feed configurations in a space-efficient benchtop model with 8-in (200 mm) blade capacity, 2.04 HP (1.5 kW) variable speed motor, and integrated 4.2 gallon (16 L) recirculating system.

Features

  • Advanced spindle design offers long life and precise sectioning
  • Welded steel construction stands up to harsh production environments
  • Large T-slotted table for fast and flexible sample fixturing
  • Channeled coolant drainage provides high flow rates and minimizes debris build-up
  • Integrated 4.2 gallon (16 L) recirculating system
  • Optional integrated Y-table for convenient parallel sectioning

MSX305A

The LECO MSX305A Series is designed for sectioning large samples of many different types of materials using automated oscillation and servo-pulse sectioning. It is ideal for samples like induction-hardened parts, through-hardened tool steels, carburized pieces, and more. A manually adjustable Y-axis table provides easy sample position and parallel sectioning. Supports up to 14-in (350 mm) blades, and feature a powerful 10.05 HP (7.5 kW) motor and solid-steel construction.

Features

  • Production-grade spindle supports up to a 14-in (~350 mm) wheel with 1.25-in (32 mm) arbor
  • Welded-steel construction for the production environment
  • Optional catch basket for capturing small, sectioned samples
  • 15.75-in (400 mm) x 15.75-in (400 mm) T-slotted table with large sectioning compartment for versatile sample fixturing
  • 30 gallon (115 L) built-in coolant tank with coolant fluid level gauge
  • Sealed electronic enclosure and removable side ports
  • Adjustment knob for sample feed
  • Convenient, easy-to-operate control panel with 5.6-in (142 mm) dual-screen display
  • Z-axis for manual sectioning (MSX305A1 Series)
  • Joystick control for pulse sectioning (both MSX305A1 Series and MSX305A2 Series), blade direction, table direction, oscillation, and manual sectioning (MSX305A2 Series only)

MSX305R

The MSX305R Series is designed for sectioning large samples of many different types of materials. A manually adjustable Y-axis table provides easy sample position and parallel sectioning. Models support up to 14 in (350 mm) blades, and feature a powerful 10.05 HP (7.5 kW) motor and solid-steel construction.

Features

  • Production-grade spindle supports up to a 14-in (~350 mm) wheel with 1.25-in (32 mm) arbor
  • Welded-steel construction for the production environment
  • Optional catch basket for capturing small, sectioned samples
  • 15.75-in (400 mm) x 15.75-in (400 mm) T-slotted table with large sectioning compartment for versatile sample fixturing
  • 30 gallon (115 L) built-in coolant tank with coolant fluid level gauge
  • Sealed electronic enclosure and removable side ports
  • Convenient, easy-to-operate control panel
  • Z-axis locking feature
  • Handwheel-driven X- and Y-table for longitudinal section and sample position

MSX432

The MSX432 Series is designed for sectioning large samples of high-alloy and hardened materials. Short contact times per stroke coupled with intense cooling provide the cold-cutting effects required for microstructural examination. Features 17-in (431.8 mm) blade capacity and a 20.1 HP motor.

Features

  • Advanced spindle design offers long life and precise sectioning
  • Welded steel construction for the production environment
  • Large T-slotted table for flexible sample fixturing
  • Channeled coolant drainage provides high flow rates and minimal debris build-up
  • Integrated Y-table for convenient parallel sectioning
  • Isolated table design prevents contamination of linear slides
  • 39 gallon (150 L) recirculating system
