Precision Grinding & Polishing Solutions

Semi-automatic grinder polishers combine automated specimen mounting and programmable pressure control with manual loading and unloading. They feature variable speed motors (up to ~500 rpm), adjustable platen sizes typically between 150 and 250 mm, and integrated water flow systems for consistent cooling and debris removal. These systems provide reproducible surface preparation ideal for medium to high-throughput labs requiring precision and flexibility.

Manual grinder polishers rely on operator-controlled pressure and speed adjustments for specimen preparation. They offer platen diameters commonly ranging from 150 to 300 mm with multiple surface finishing options, including grinding wheels and polishing cloths. These devices are versatile and ideal for low-volume or specialized sample preparation where tactile feedback is critical.

Specialty grinder polishers are designed for applications requiring customized sample handling, such as small or irregularly shaped specimens, and metallographic preparation of composite materials. They support specialized platen sizes, variable motion paths (e.g., orbital, rotary, linear), and advanced pressure regulation to optimize surface finish quality.

Consumables and accessories for grinding and polishing include abrasive papers, diamond suspensions, polishing cloths, conditioning discs, and cleaning solutions. They are selected based on material hardness, surface finish requirements, and process speed. Accessories such as specimen holders, platen covers, and cleaning kits enhance preparation efficiency and reproducibility.
