The Qcut 500 A is the powerhouse of the large cut-off machine family. Equipped with a highly dynamic axis drive and automatic trave cut/chop cut functions, the system cuts large components with exceptional precision, minimal contact, and outstanding speed.
- Fast, powerful cuts: The highly dynamic axis drive allows rapid traverses of up to 80 mm/s and greatly reduces cutting time
- Versatile applications: Cutting of particularly long samples is easily possible thanks to side openings on both sides
- Multi-Position Process (MPP): Simultaneous positioning and automatic cutting of different components on the machine table

Cut-off machine Qcut 500 A Features
Stainless steel machine table
Spacious machine table enables precise work even under heavy loads.
- Integrated T-slots for the Easy clamping system for quick mounting of clamping tools
- Efficient and reliable fixation of complex geometries using clamping devices
- Load capacity up to 120 kg (including clamping devices)
Laser alignment
Optional laser alignment projects the cutting line directly onto the workpiece, enabling precise positioning and exact cut placement.
- Easy positioning of workpieces
- Precise clamping without much effort
Robust machine with large cutting chamber
Robust, powder-coated aluminum machine body features a large sliding door with scratch-resistant laminated safety glass and convenient side access door.
- Machine body with integrable recirculating cooling unit and automatic central lubrication
- Large cutting chamber access with safety interlock — doors open only when cut-off wheel is stationary
- Side opening on the right for long samples
Precision cross feed
The table-integrated Z-axis maintains consistent cutting height while the automatic cross feed with serial cutting function delivers precise parallel cuts.
- Simple and intuitive serial cutting
- The multi-position process (MPP) allows more complex serial cutting to be carried out
Rotation tool
The optional rotation tool features a vertical rotary feed parallel to the wheel with software-controlled angle input.
- More uniform cutting surfaces and cutting quality
- Cutting time is halved for rotationally symmetrical parts
- Protects against cut-off wheel run-out
Intuitive and easy operation
Large 10.1” industrial touchscreen with intuitive QATM user software and joystick.
- Easily manage process parameters and create customer-specific maintenance tasks (200 user programs can be saved)
- Parameters such as feed rate, travel distance, and cutting force can be changed during automatic operation
Pulsed cutting
For thick and difficult-to-cut materials, the adjustable automatic pulsed cutting provides gentle sectioning with optimal cooling of the cut interface.
- Enhanced cutting results for larger components
- Superior cooling of contact surfaces
Cutting force dependent feed control (X- and Y-Axis)
The feed rate automatically decreases when cutting force reaches a preset limit, protecting the machine, sample, and clamping tools from overloading while ensuring time savings through variable feed control.
- Time savings thanks to variable feed rate
