Digiprep Programmable Automatic Grinders and Polishers
DIGIPREP preparation systems are designed for fully automated materialographic sample preparation for consistent and reproducible specimen quality.
DIGIPREP PLAN Planar Coarse Grinder is designed for first step initial planar grinding of very large specimens or a high volume of specimens in specimen holders. It is fast and efficient in providing high quality flat specimen surface thus saving time on the subsequent fine grinding and polishing steps. Specimen holders of 145 mm diameter having 6 specimens can be prepared in less than a minute with upto 7”(175 mm) stone cup which requires minimal dressing.
DIGIPREP’s Automatic Head controls the force applied precisely and specimens are prepared exactly the same way everytime, independent of operator skills. With the ability to store and recall preparation programs on the LCD screen, same consistent results are obtained. High level of automation improves the efficiency and gives the operator free time for other tasks in the laboratory. Efficiency is further increased by adding DOSIMAT Peristaltic Dispensing Unit for automation and control of consumable consumption.
