IQIEGE® 160Z Veiyee Manual Cutting Machine – The Perfect Metallographic Sample Preparation Solution for Labs
In the process of analyzing the microstructure of materials (metallography), the initial rough cutting stage plays a decisive role in the accuracy of the final test results. A single cutting error caused by thermal damage or mechanical deformation can completely distort the internal structure of the specimen. Understanding this challenge, Maxlab Equipment proudly introduces the iqiege® 160Z Veiyee manual cutting machine – a new generation desktop cutting system that perfectly combines robust operating power with the ability to preserve specimen surface integrity.
An Overview of the Veiyee Brand and the IQIEGE® 160Z Model
Veiyee (Laizhou Weiyi) is a leading brand in manufacturing metallographic sample preparation equipment in China with decades of expertise. The company’s product lines are widely recognized for their exceptional durability and high practicality in industrial environments.
The iqiege® 160Z model (upgraded from the former 60S designation) is a desktop metallographic specimen cutting machine specifically engineered for small and medium-sized laboratories. Operating via a manual Z-axis mechanism, this equipment grants laboratory technicians direct, flexible, and real-time control over the cutting feed rate and force.
Outstanding Features of the IQIEGE® 160Z Veiyee Manual Cutting Machine
1. Powerful Performance with Flexible Specimen Capacity
Despite its compact desktop design, the iqiege® 160Z Veiyee manual cutting machine is equipped with a heavy-duty 2.2 kW main spindle motor. Delivering a rotational speed of 2,800 rpm combined with high torque, the machine effortlessly processes hard metal specimens such as carbon steel, stainless steel, heat-resistant alloys, and non-metallic materials like technical ceramics. It supports cutting bar specimens with a maximum diameter of up to Φ60 mm, fully meeting standard rough cutting requirements.
2. High-Flow Cooling System – Ultimate Anti-Burning Protection
The most prominent advantage of this model is its independent recirculating water-cooling system, which boasts a powerful flow rate of 50 liters per minute. The cooling liquid is sprayed directly and continuously onto the contact zone between the cutting wheel and the workpiece. This mechanism completely dissipates the heat generated by friction, preventing surface burning or unwanted alterations to the metallographic structure of the sample.
3. Rigid Mechanical Engineering Minimizes Vibration
Weighing 82 kg, the IQIEGE® 160Z operates with extreme stability. The thick machine enclosure absorbs structural vibrations during the abrasive cutting process, ensuring the cut surface remains perfectly straight, smooth, and free of wavy defects. The equipment also features an optional double-sided opening design, allowing operators to easily pass and cut long bars that exceed standard chamber boundaries.
4. Safe Operation and Space Efficiency
The machine features a fully enclosed cutting chamber equipped with a large front safety glass window. This allows technicians to monitor the cutting progress safely without worrying about sparks or coolant splashing. Internal LED lighting ensures the work area remains highly visible. The benchtop footprint optimizes workspace, making it ideal for laboratories with limited floor space.
