Designed and developed by QATM, the compact Qpol 300BOT completely automates the grinding and polishing aspects of the specimen preparation process, including cleaning and drying.
Simple touch-screen controls access all parameters and procedures. The Qpol 300BOT ensures that each specimen is properly processed and guarantees reproducible results and, in addition more space for sample analysis.
Modular Construction
Within the sturdy aluminium housing, it is possible to install 4 to 8 system work stations. Up to 11 different operations can be programmed and sequenced for a particular application. Options include pre-grinding, grinding and polishing as well as cleaning and drying in any combination.The Qpol 300BOT automatically proceeds from one step to the next, eliminating the manual, time-consuming task of cleaning each sample holder between steps. With its modular construction the Qpol 300BOT has a price-to-performance ratio that makes it a cost effective system even for lower volume labs.
Grinding and polishing stations
The Qpol 300 BOT is constructed with stations for complete materialographic operations from planar grinding through intermediate steps and final polishing. All stations are integrated into the system. The grinding and polishing discs are fixed onto the working wheels by using a vacuum (Vacu-Jet System) or magnetic disc system. Each station can be configured for specific abrasive requirements. Water, diamond suspensions, diamond lubricant and oxide dispensing are fully integrated and controlled via programming. Grinding and polishing stations can also include fully automatic protective covers to maintain a clean work environment.
