Grinder/Polisher with Power Head

Semiautomatic

Intuitive, powerful, and reliable system for semiautomatic sample preparation

The MetPrep 4x™ grinding and polishing machines, with PH™ power heads, are powerful systems for semiautomatic operation, ideal for low to high volume sample preparation requirements. Two combinations provide ideal solutions that accommodate any lab, application or material.

The microprocessor-based system allows the operator to use either the manual Input Mode to enter parameters throughout a procedure, or the user-defined preprogrammed Steps and Sequences Mode to select steps in a sequence as the procedure advances.

Either standard or magnetic 10″/254 mm or 12″/305 mm platens may be used with any adhesive, non-adhesive or magnetic system disc.
