FORCIPOL-TS, when coupled with FORCIMAT-TS, becomes an automatic thin section preparation system. The FORCIMAT-TS is a low speed automatic head and it is mounted on a rigid hardened post which is fixed to the base of the FORCIPOL-TS grinder/polisher. It can be adapted easily and rapidly positioned by means of a quick-locking clamping mechanism.
FORCIMAT-TS is driven by a 100 Watt DC motor and adjustable from 25 to 50 RPM speed which provides high torque for big specimens and allows long operation time. Speed of head is specially adjusted for thin section and petrographic sample preparation.
The pneumatically applied individual force is adjustable between 5 N (1.1 lb.) and 60 N (13.5 lb.) from the front panel and is displayed on a gauge. The housing is made of ABS with a touchpad front panel.
Modern touch pad controls with ergonomic turn knob allows fast and easy setting of parameters and increases productivity. Sample force, wheel speed, sample holder speed, operation time, motor on/off and water on/off functions can be set in seconds.
