MOTORIZED CUTTING DRIVE
Sectioning can be carried out either manually by
turning the handwheel or by means of a motorized
cutting drive.
•
The cutting movement can either be released
by pressing the button START/STOP (fig.
24.1) or by means of the foot pedal.
•
The controlled cutting speed can be set
continuously from 0 - 430 mm/s on the control
knob (fig. 25.3).
•
The cutting speed refers to the cutting
window. For the upward return travel a
proportionally higher retraction speed is
carried out.
•
To adjust the cutting window in relation to a
specimen, it can be set continuously within the
maximum values.
Note:
The motorized cutting drive can only
be started, when the functions
"handwheel brake" (fig. 24.2) and
"emergency stop" are not activated.
Note:
For safety reasons, the brake function
is activated automatically after each
stop of the motorized cutting drive.
