Mikrosize Metallographic Polishing Machine: Precision Core for Specimen Preparation
In metallurgy and materials science, flawless specimen preparation is critical for accurate analysis. As a leading supplier of Measuring & Testing Instruments, Mikrosize provides the advanced Metallographic Polishing Machine—the indispensable core for preparing specimens for precise hardness testing and microstructural analysis.
This robust apparatus features a heavy-duty base, high-performance polishing disc, specialized fabrics, a sealed cover, and a precision motor. Its design enables seamless transitions between rough grinding, fine grinding, and final polishing on one platform. The sealed cover and shields contain abrasive particles, ensuring a clean lab environment. An integrated drainage system channels used suspension to a recycling tray for eco-friendly disposal.
A digitally controlled motor drives the disc with stepless variable speed regulation (50-1500 rpm), adaptable to various materials. Operators manually modulate pressure while a digital display provides real-time speed monitoring, ensuring process repeatability—a hallmark of precision Measuring & Testing Instruments.
Performance and Advanced Features
The system’s proprietary automatic fixture eliminates traditional embedding. Fixtures rotate opposite the disc, ensuring uniform cutting and minimal specimen deformation. Pressure is precisely adjustable (0-700 N), and automated cycle timing guarantees consistency—crucial for high-throughput labs and reliable metallographic testing.
The fixture adapts remarkably to diverse specimens. For wires or small bars, specialized holders secure 20-40 samples simultaneously. Larger samples are held securely in sets of up to 6. The patented three-point contact design in each sample hole ensures unwavering stability and perpendicularity during polishing.
This design enables exceptional productivity. Two technicians operating three machines can process 6-8 fixtures concurrently. The total effective polishing time per fixture can be optimized to just 6 minutes, offering high polishing efficiency without compromising quality. Specimens emerge with deformation-free, scratch-free surfaces, fully meeting stringent requirements for metallographic analysis and hardness testing.
Integrated Workflow and Applications
As a trusted supplier, Mikrosize ensures its polisher integrates seamlessly into material testing workflows. The pristine surfaces it produces are ideal for optical and electron microscopy, and—critically—for accurate indentation testing with Mikrosize hardness testers.
The machine serves vital roles in aerospace (superalloy inspection), automotive (component validation), metallurgy (grain structure analysis), and R&D. It is equally essential for failure analysis, providing rapid, reliable cross-sections of components.
Conclusion
The Mikrosize Metallographic Polishing Machine transforms specimen preparation into a repeatable, efficient, and precisely controlled process. By automating key variables, it empowers labs to achieve superior productivity and guaranteed specimen quality—the foundation for accurate metallographic testing and hardness measurement. Choose Mikrosize, where precision preparation enables trusted results.
