MetPrep 4x™ & PH-4™
Overview
Grinder/Polisher with Power Head
The MetPrep 4x™ grinding and polishing machines, with the PH™ line of 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.
The PH-4™ power head offers maximum versatility for low to high volume semi-automatic sample preparation, using either central or individual sample force modes. The pneumatic-electric systems provide controlled sample force and allow up to twelve (12) samples to be prepared simultaneously in central force and four (4) samples in individual force. The unique tilt-up design allows easy, unhindered access to the sample holder and platen, and eliminates the need to reposition the head during the preparation procedure.
Either standard or magnetic platens may be used with any plain/adhesive backed or magnetic system disc.
