Grinding and polishing equipment

Struers LaboPol-30

with LaboForce-100 specimen mover

 

The LaboPol-30 system with LaboForce-100 mover plate enables manual and semiautomatic sample grinding and polishing for materialographic analysis

The system uses a 300 mm disc as a platform for SiC foils, grinding surfaces and polishing cloths. Magnetic attachment is used the grinding surfaces and cloths, while a sticky adaptor plate is used for the SiC foils

A water dispenser is attached to system for providing cooling and lubrication when using SiC foils. Diamond solutions with grinding surfaces and cloths are dispensed manually.
