Automatic grinding and polishing system for metallography

In metallographic laboratories, preparing samples with consistent, high-quality finishes is crucial for accurate analysis. Engineers often face challenges ensuring uniform grinding and polishing, especially with varying sample sizes and materials. Achieving precise material removal while maintaining operational safety is essential.

Achieve consistent results with automated precision

The SAPHIR 550 with RUBIN 520 from QATM is an advanced single-wheel grinding and polishing system designed for metallography. Its innovative head, the RUBIN 520, includes an automatic protective hood, enhancing operational safety. With features such as single and central pressure, memory functions, integrated dosing systems, and automatic material removal measurement, this system meets the highest standards in sample preparation. The height setting can be motor-driven and adjusted with pneumatic clamping, ensuring precise control up to 0.01 mm accuracy. The variable speeds for both the working wheel (50-600 rpm) and polishing head (30-150 rpm) allow flexibility across different materials. The device is programmed through a touchscreen and can store multiple sets of parameters, reducing setup time for recurring processes.

Benefits

  • Enhanced safety with automatic protective hood
  • Precise control with motor-driven height and pneumatic clamping
  • Consistent results with adjustable single and central pressure
