Automatic Metallographic Sample Grinding and Polishing Machine

Automatic Metallographic Sample Grinding and Polishing Machine

The automatic metallographic sample grinding and polishing machine represents a significant advancement in sample preparation technology. This state-of-the-art equipment is a microcontroller-controlled grinding and polishing system designed for unparalleled performance and reliability. As a precision Measuring & Testing Instrument, its robust body is constructed from integrally molded ABS material, offering a novel and aesthetically pleasing design alongside exceptional corrosion resistance and long-term durability. The grinding disc, precision-cast from alloy aluminum, is oxidation-resistant, immune to deformation, and supports infinite variable speed control with both forward and reverse rotation capabilities. Sourced from the renowned Mikrosize supplier, key components ensure the highest standards of quality and performance.

This machine offers versatile operation with two distinct grinding head modes: center pressure and single-point pneumatic pressure, allowing users to select the most suitable mode for specific working conditions. Pressure regulation is managed by an imported SMC proportional valve from Japan, ensuring precise and stable operation, with all pressurization calibrated by a force gauge for absolute accuracy. The unique adaptive running and fitting design between the grinding head sample disc and the grinding disc itself effectively improves grinding and polishing quality by solving the common issue of multi-faceted phenomena, thereby guaranteeing a consistent and flawless grinding surface on every sample. The machine is equipped with a high-definition LCD touch screen for intuitive control and display, making operation simple and parameter monitoring clear and intuitive.

Powering the unit is a high-torque servo motor, renowned for its long service life and ultra-quiet operation, which delivers a powerful and efficient grinding and polishing experience. The precision cast aluminum support chassis ensures perfect rotational balance, while a leak-proof spindle design effectively protects the internal bearings from contamination. A standout feature is the magnetic grinding disc design, which supports quick disc changes. The backing plate and chassis surface are treated with a PTFE (Teflon) coating, preventing any residue from sandpaper, cloth, or adhesive and simplifying cleanup. The sample clamp, which can be quickly disassembled and converted to accommodate different diameters, features a half-rotating design combined with an inner lighting system for convenient and safe sample handling.

As a comprehensive Measuring & Testing Instrument, the automatic grinding system of this machine is capable of programmable timing and speed control, and features an automatic opening and closing function for the water system, effectively replacing manual grinding and polishing processes. The system can store more than a dozen unique grinding and polishing programs, allowing operators to set different parameters for various sample types with ease. With a capacity for up to 6 sample clamps, it dramatically saves labor, improves preparation quality, and enhances sample throughput efficiency. Additional safety and convenience features include an electromagnetic lock on the grinding head for automatic locking and a removable bowl-shaped lining that prevents the accumulation of dirt and debris within the tray, making maintenance straightforward. This machine, incorporating premium components from Mikrosize, is the ideal choice for modern laboratories seeking new, efficient, and reliable automatic metallographic sample preparation equipment.
