extec labcut 5000 advanced composite plate saw series

Labcut 5000® Series

The Labcut 5000® advanced composite plate saws achieve precise cutting in a diverse range of materials to prepare highly accurate composite test specimens.

The Labcut 5000® Series saws cut up to 55 mm material thickness and are available in three standard models, accommodating cleared panel sizes:

  • 600 x 600 mm (2 x 2 ft)
  • 1250 x 600 mm (4 x 2 ft)
  • 1250 x 1250 mm (4 x 4 ft)

Customized special order units can be designed to fit the specific cutting requirements including greater cut depths.
