📌 Tired of repeatedly removing and re-fixturing samples between cutting and grinding?
Key Points
The CLG50 petrographic cutting system is specifically designed for petrography, meeting the demanding requirements of cutting and grinding hard and brittle materials. Its integrated design allows samples to be ground immediately after cutting, eliminating thickness deviation and breakage risks caused by secondary clamping.
Equipped with a 1 μm cross-feed resolution, the CLG50 can reliably produce ultra-thin rock sections down to 40 μm, cutting and grinding accuracy up to ±10 μm, ensuring clear observation of mineral crystal structures under microscopy.
By combining a vacuum clamping fixture with an automatic filtration and drainage system, the CLG50 delivers a more efficient and highly repeatable sample preparation workflow for geological research and material analysis.
Application
Utilizing an integrated bonding + cutting + cross-feed + grinding workflow, the CLG50 supports thin-section preparation for a wide range of materials, including rocks, minerals, ceramics, and other hard and brittle materials. Typical applications include rock classification, elemental analysis, texture studies, fossil research, microstructural analysis, bone and dental research, geochronology, and porosity/permeability studies related to rock degradation. Whether for geological research, inspection, material identification, or educational institutions, the CLG50 delivers efficient and precise preparation results.

Features
Ultra-Thin Section Preparation
Capable of producing sections as thin as 40 μm, ideal for microstructure observation and precision analysis. The prepared sections feature uniform and stable quality, enhancing image clarity and analytical accuracy, while also ensuring high operational efficiency.
Transverse Resolution: 1 μm
The equipment offers a 1 μm transverse resolution, enabling precise control of sample positioning. This high-resolution design effectively minimizes errors, ensuring more reliable observation and analysis while enhancing overall preparation accuracy and efficiency.
High-Precision Cutting and Grinding
Achieves cutting and grinding accuracy within ±10 μm, ensuring excellent stability and reliability in sample preparation. Ideal for research and quality inspection environments that require strict process control and high precision.
Integrated Cutting and Grinding System
After cutting, samples can be directly transferred to grinding without re-clamping, eliminating unnecessary steps and minimizing the risk of sample damage. This design reduces preparation time, improves operational efficiency, and ensures greater process stability and consistency.
Vacuum Fixture-Assisted Clamping
Effectively secures samples to simplify operation and enhance stability, reducing adjustment time while ensuring a smooth and reliable preparation process. Compatible with glass slides (1"x3" or 2"x2"), allowing flexible adaptation to various sample requirements while maintaining both efficiency and precision.
Thin Section Bonding Holder (Optional)
Provides an easy and efficient way to bond samples to glass slides. Ensures excellent flatness after bonding, enhancing the stability and reliability of observation and analysis.
Filtration System with Automatic Drainage
Equipped with an automatic drainage system that effectively removes moisture from the vacuum pipeline and returns it to the water tank. This design prevents potential vacuum system damage caused by water accumulation, ensuring stable operation and extended equipment lifespan.
High-Precision Variable-Speed Spindle
During the cutting process, the spindle will automatically stop when the top cover is opened, ensuring operator safety throughout operation.
Convenient Recirculating Water Tank Design
Features an easy pull-out tank design that allows removal without taking off the cutting blade. This design enables quick and effortless coolant replacement, greatly improving operational efficiency.
Versatile Clamping Options (Optional)
Offers a variety of fixture selections to accommodate samples of different shapes and sizes. The flexible configuration enhances operational convenience and ensures secure and stable sample holding, meeting diverse application needs.
Safety Acrylic Top Cover
Equipped with a transparent acrylic cover that ensures both operational safety and clear visibility. When the cover is opened, the spindle automatically stops rotating, effectively preventing accidental contact and allowing the operator to safely monitor the cutting and grinding process.
Easy Operation
Features an intuitive interface that allows users to get started quickly with minimal training. Clear and straightforward workflow design ensures smooth daily operation while maintaining consistent preparation quality.
