FORCIPLAN 352
Metallographic High-Volume Planar Grinding Station
FORCIPLAN 352 Automatic Planar 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.
FORCIPLAN 352
Specimen holders of up to 210 mm diameter having 10 specimens can be prepared in less than a minute with 350 mm diameter grinding stone. It can easily provide enough specimens for two or three grinding/polishing machines. Uses the same sample holders with FORCIPLAN 352 Planar Grinder. Therefore, it can be combined with FORCIPOL 352 to increase sample throughput.
• High Sample Capacity
• Reduces Total Preparation Time
• Cost Effective Grinding
• Controlled Material Removal
• Automatic Dressing of Grinding Stone
