The OPT-10 Disc Cutter is a high-precision manual cutting device specifically developed for laboratory-scale sample preparation. Engineered with a robust chrome-plated steel structure and a precision-guided sliding rail system, it ensures smooth, stable, and repeatable cutting performance. The integrated ball-bearing mechanism enhances motion accuracy, allowing users to produce clean and uniform discs with minimal effort.

This device is ideal for cutting thin metal sheets or foils with thicknesses below 0.5 mm, as well as separator films thinner than 30 µm. The resulting discs are widely used in the preparation of electrodes and separators for coin cells and split test cells, making the OPT-10 an essential tool for battery research and development. It is also suitable for preparing samples for advanced analysis techniques such as TEM.

The standard configuration includes precision cutting dies of 16 mm, 19 mm, and 20 mm, covering the most common coin cell sizes. Additional die sizes ranging from 3 mm to 24 mm are available upon request, providing flexibility for specialized applications. The compact design (209 × 120 × 394 mm) allows the unit to be easily placed inside glove boxes with appropriate airlock dimensions, enabling operation in controlled environments.

Designed with user safety and durability in mind, the OPT-10 offers reliable long-term performance when properly maintained. However, careful alignment during die replacement is critical to prevent damage. For high-efficiency workflows, using multiple units with pre-installed dies is recommended.
