The EQT-100 Pin Cutter Machine applies up to 10 tons of force through a cutting blade to cut the stems of “lollipop” samples (solidified metal samples from molten metal melts), as well as to produce pins of various lengths from solid rods made of virtually any metal.

The EQT-100 can easily cut round medallion samples, oval medallions, and double-thickness samples, as well as section rods up to 10 mm in diameter.

Samples are placed inside a specially protected compartment with a safety enclosure, preventing any movement or displacement during  the cutting process.

Cutting the rod also enables automated handling by an articulated arm, eliminating the need for operator intervention and improving laboratory workflow and productivity.

The machine also includes a specialized tool for controlled cutting of rods or wires, enabling consistent sample weights for elemental analysis.

The cutting blade is made from specially hardened steel and features a cubic design, allowing the use of all 8 edges to significantly extend its lifespan.

The EQT-100 Pin Cutter Machine has been developed to deliver reliable cutting across a wide range of metallic samples while ensuring maximum operator safety.
