Grinding & Polishing - Semiautomatic

Semi-automatic operation provides the highest level of repeatability and consistency, reducing operator to operator variability in the sample preparation process.

Following operator-defined parameters, this allows greater productivity and sample preparation throughput. Generally, the choice of machine is influenced by sample size and capacity/output.
