The GenCut GL100E works with a diamond cutting wheel sized Ø200 × Ø32 × 0.9 mm. This type of wheel is designed for precision sectioning of metals, ceramics, composites, and other hard or brittle samples. The diamond edge gives a long service life, reducing the need for frequent replacements while maintaining clean, accurate cuts.

The GenCut GL100E is built with a micrometer head that gives a travel range of 0–25 mm. Positioning accuracy is 0.01 mm, allowing for the preparation of very small or delicate specimens with precise depth control. This level of precision helps laboratories carry out repeatable cuts without losing structural detail in the sample.

The GenCut GL100E comes with a closed transparent cover that keeps chips and coolant inside while giving a clear view of the process. A safety switch guarantees the drive cuts off if the cover is opened. The machine features motor overload protection that secures the system by stopping the cut when resistance is too high. An emergency stop button is installed for immediate shutdown.

In gravity-feed mode, the GenCut GL100E uses a counterweight system that applies a steady force to the specimen. The weight slides gradually, creating controlled pressure on the cutting wheel. This method results in consistent cutting across the entire sample and is especially useful for delicate specimens where direct manual pressure could cause cracks or deformation.

The GenCut GL100E operates with low-speed cutting that reduces heat and stress on delicate materials. A weight loading system applies a steady force, preventing sudden pressure that could break or deform the specimen. The set of precision jigs, including holders for irregular shapes, keeps samples stable throughout the cut. Together, these elements limit structural changes in fragile or complex specimens and help prepare sections without unnecessary damage.

Yes. The GenCut GL100E is not limited to metals and alloys. It is also applied for plastics, composites, ceramics, electronic components, thin films, and biological samples. The combination of a low-speed motor and diamond wheel makes it possible to section brittle or heat-sensitive materials without introducing cracks or deformation.
Non-metallic applications include circuit boards, polymer parts, dental and medical samples, thin-film coatings, and ceramic specimens. The integrated coolant system helps control heat buildup, which is critical when cutting materials with low thermal resistance.

The GenCut GL100E has overall dimensions of 21.65" × 21.65" × 14.96" (550 × 550 × 380 mm) and a weight of about 100 lbs (45 kg). The compact footprint makes it suitable for placement on a standard laboratory bench without taking excessive space. Despite its size, the cutter integrates the motor, cooling system, and touch-screen controller into a single unit, so no external modules are required. This setup keeps the machine practical for laboratories where workspace is limited.

The GenCut GL100E is equipped with a 300 W motor that drives the low-speed diamond wheel. The motor speed is adjustable from 100 to 1500 rpm, which covers both delicate materials that need gentle cutting and harder samples that require higher rotation. Power is supplied by a single-phase AC220V, 50 Hz line, which matches common laboratory setups.

The GenCut GL100E operates in two modes. In manual mode, the operator advances the sample directly. In gravity feed mode, a sliding weight system applies steady pressure to the specimen during cutting. This dual setup makes it possible to handle both routine sections and delicate materials that benefit from controlled, low-force cutting.

The GenCut GL100E is designed for specimens up to 25 mm in diameter. This range covers small and delicate pieces, including brittle materials that require careful sectioning. It is suited for metallographic samples, electronic components, ceramics, and other small specimens where controlled cutting is essential.

The GenCut GL100E uses automatic coolant circulation, where the cutting wheel drives the flow of liquid during operation. A movable coolant tank is integrated into the unit for easy refilling and cleaning. The system runs on water-based cooling, which lowers the heat at the cutting point and reduces the chance of structural damage to delicate samples. This setup keeps both the blade and the specimen stable throughout sectioning.

The GenCut GL100E package includes a single head jig, a double head jig, an irregular sample jig, a flat clamp, a water drop jig, and an inset sample jig for handling different types of specimens. These holders make it possible to secure round, flat, irregular, or delicate samples during sectioning.
The standard delivery also comes with a wrench for blade changes, a differential head, a power cord, and an operation manual. With this set of tools, laboratories can start cutting immediately without the need for extra accessories.
