Vibratory Polisher Qpol Vibro

Vibratory polishing newly discovered

The vibratory polishing device Qpol Vibro is designed for the virtually deformation-free preparation of specimen surfaces. It is ideal for further characterizations, e.g. EBSD (electron backscatter diffraction), AFM analysis and nanoindentation or micro hardness testing.

With a diameter of Ø = 308 mm the large bowl provides sufficient space for polishing of completely filled sample holders, large specimens, as well as for simultaneously polishing up to 21 specimens. Held by strong magnets the polishing bowl can be easily removed by pressing a button and exchanged by simply putting it back into the device – the magnetic forces will do their job.

The clamping ring protects the edge of the polishing cloth to ensure a long service life. In addition, the ring delimits the polishing area and enables the sample holders to move evenly. The bowl is designed for the use of polishing cloths on magnetic systems. Consequently, the cloth is quickly and easily removed.

Product Advantages

  • Rapidly exchangeable polishing bowl with magnetic system
  • Automatic frequency control from 60-120 Hz
  • Surface-Guard reduces crystallization of the suspension and corrosion of the specimen surface
  • Pre-installed preparation methods and consumable list
  • Low-noise operation and vibration-adsorbing construction
  • Transparent hood made of acrylic glass with soft-closing system
  • Preparation for external suction
  • Memory for 200 custom preparation methods

The Qpol Vibro offers silent operation based on its robust, high-quality design, innovative vibratory transmission angle, and vibrational motor with oscillation compensation. It may run for hours without any noticeable noise development. The oscillation compensation of the vibrational motor prevents the vibrations from being transmitted to the machine case or bench, thus ensuring silent operation of the Qpol Vibro. The exhaust connection plug may be connected to an external exhaust system to safely discharge moisture or gases, thus providing a safe working environment for the operator.

The transparent, soft-closing hinged hood shows the premium quality of QATM machines and devices. It protects the suspension and specimens from contamination for achieving best preparation results. The Qpol Vibro offers a wealth of features but is still compact and lightweight – with a weight of only 45 kg it is very suitable as a bench top device.
