Technical Specifications

Features&Benefits

Accurate

• Cross roller bearings and Spindle imported from Germany, combined with a five-phase high-resolution Stepper motor and a Link block made of aviation aluminum, form a high-precision sampling system to ensure slice quality. Original imported Drive motor  and encoder ensure stable and smooth automatic slicing
• Accurate positioning: Patented technology pointer identification, the sample angle can be adjusted visually, and the positioning is more accurate; the knife holder has a small lateral displacement and high accuracy. The base has a scale, which is convenient for the knife holder to locate and improve the quality of slices.

Safety

• Operator safety: The handwheel dual locking system comes with a lock prompt sound, and is equipped with a knife ejector and a knife guard, so that the user can safely replace the sample and blade. After the automatic slicing is completed, the electronic brake keeps the handwheel in a stable state to ensure safe operation

Intelligent

• Intelligentt slicing: Four automatic slicing modes to meet the needs of different slicing scenes. Cutting window function to ensure the quality of slices while improving the efficiency of automatic slices
• Information tracking: 5-inch touch screen, history recording system, easy to trace back information and quickly solve problems

Convenient

• Convenient operation: The imported military-grade side sample injection knob conforms to the ergonomic design, and the operation is more comfortable and coordinated.
• Convenient maintenance: special material waste tank, non-wax, easy to clean
