CORE CUTTING/CORE DRILLING MACHINE (MOTORISED) AZA0996
AZA0996 Motorised Core Cutting & Drilling Machine is a high-performance, electrically powered coring system designed for extracting precise cylindrical samples from concrete, asphalt, masonry, and geological formations. Built for both laboratory and field use, this machine combines strong structural stability with smooth, vibration-free drilling for consistently accurate core samples.
The machine is powered by a high-torque single-phase electric motor (1.5–2 HP) that delivers a constant rotational speed, ensuring clean cuts even through reinforced concrete. Its precision vertical feed system with adjustable speed control allows operators to manage penetration rate according to material hardness, ensuring minimal sample damage and superior core integrity.
A heavy-duty trolley-mounted steel frame provides excellent stability while allowing easy movement across job sites or within laboratories. The integrated wet drilling water feed system cools the diamond core bit, extends tool life, and significantly reduces dust for safer operation.
Designed to support core barrel sizes from 25 mm to 150 mm, the AZA0996 is suitable for a wide range of standard testing applications including structural investigations, pavement evaluation, and research sampling.
This machine is compliant with major international standards including ASTM C42/C42M, IS 516:2018, and AASHTO T24, making it a reliable choice for professional testing environments.
