QATM Grinding & Polishing machine Qpol PLUS 1 / PLUS 2

QATM Grinding & Polishing machine Qpol PLUS 1 / PLUS 2

The Qpol PLUS 1 and PLUS 2 are automatic, single wheel or twin wheel grinding and polishing machines that can operate using either single or central pressure. They are suitable for working wheels with a diameter of 200/250/300 mm. The high-performance PLUS head also allows the use of large sample holders with diameters up to 185 mm (central pressure).

Product Advantages

  • Automated processes: High-removal grinding/polishing, variable dosing of diamond suspensions/lubricants, contact pressure, speed control, and the direction of rotation (in-phase/out-of-phase) for the polishing head and working wheel are all variable and freely adjustable.
  • High flexibility: The L sample holder allows for the use of very large samples.
  • High reproducibility: Automatic sample preparation methods can be customized, and up to 200 preparation methods—protected by user account management—can be edited and saved. Grinding and polishing results remain consistent even when the process is repeated.
