Light weight section sample producing device and light weight section sample production method

摘要

A sliced-sample production device (100) is provided with a conveying unit (1) for conveying a sample block (20), a cutting unit (4) provided with a cutter (41), an error detection unit (3) for detecting cutting errors during the period from when the cutting of the sample block (20) starts until the cutting of the sample block (20) ends, and a control unit (10) for controlling at least the conveying unit (1). The control unit (10) starts the cutting of the sample block (20) by using the conveying unit (1) to cause the cutter (41) and the sample block (20) to move relatively to each other and if a cutting error is detected, stops the conveying operation of the conveying unit (1) and stops the cutting of the sample block (20) by the cutter (41).
