Buehler IsoMet High Speed Pro Precision - Automatic Precision Sectioning Machine
The IsoMet High Speed Pro is Buehler’s most advanced benchtop precision cutter, engineered for laboratories that demand both speed and extreme accuracy. Powered by a market-leading 2.68 HP [2kW] motor, it drives diamond wafering blades up to 5000 RPM, delivering rapid, deformation-free cuts on microelectronic components, bone, biomaterials, and thermal spray coatings. Its robust design minimizes vibration, ensuring 2 micron precision alignment for the most delicate sectioning tasks.
This automatic precision sectioning machine features a 3-axis (X, Y, Z) blade movement system and the intuitive SmartCut™ load control, which automatically adjusts feed rates to prevent sample damage. The integrated Rapid Rail vise system and laser alignment tool allow operators to set up complex cuts in seconds. With an automatic dressing system that keeps blades sharp during operation, the IsoMet High Speed Pro guarantees consistent, high-quality results for high-volume metallography.

The automatic dressing system mechanically refreshes the blade's edge while cutting. This ensures the blade remains sharp throughout the process, maintaining consistent cut quality and extending the life of the diamond wafering blade.
The machine is engineered for extreme precision, offering 2-micron alignment accuracy. Its high-stability design and 5000 RPM speed minimize vibration and deformation, making it ideal for microelectronics and biomaterials.
SmartCut™ is an intelligent load control system that monitors the motor's current. If the cutting force becomes too high, it automatically slows the feed rate to prevent damage to the sample or blade, then resumes speed once the load decreases.
Yes, the IsoMet High Speed Pro features full 3-axis control (X, Y, Z). You can program the machine to automatically index the X-axis and perform multiple serial cuts on a single sample without manual intervention.
The machine can accept blades up to 8 inches (203mm) in diameter, providing a maximum cutting capacity of 2.8 inches (71mm) in diameter.
