The QETCH 1000 (Kristall 680) is a fully automatic electrolytic polisher and etcher with intuitive touch-screen operation. The polishing and etching unit is separated from the control unit so that the QETCH 1000 (Kristall 680) may also be used in a lab fume cabinet.
A scan function displays the current voltage curve of a material and provides polishing results quickly without structural changes. Handling of the polishing and etching unit was facilitated significantly by the interchangeable 1 Ltr. electrolytic tanks. Different electrolytes can be changed and easily stored with lid. The unit is cleaned with water by a washing program.
