Grinding & Polishing Machine Qpol PRO

Grinding & Polishing Machine Qpol PRO Features

Durable and reliable

Machine body made of a sturdy welded aluminum construction with a high-quality, durable powder coating

• Extremely smooth operation thanks to a low-vibration design
• Maintenance-free direct drives for continuous operation with optimal performance, even for larger samples
• The impact-resistant plastic tub offers impressive durability, corrosion resistance, and easy cleaning

Grinding/polishing head with step motor

Thanks to its uniform oscillating motion, the grinding/polishing head can utilize the entire working disc

• Longer service life of consumables
• Intuitive adjustment of the oscillating motion and ability to memorize previously set endpoints
• Semi-automatic sample holder mounting (can also be operated with one hand)

Precise material removal measurement

Thanks to its robust design and force sensors, automatic target preparations can be performed

• Accuracy of up to 10 μm
• Closed-loop electronic force control
• Ideal for electronics and thin sections

Ergonomically shaped Splash guard

User-friendly design and the ability to quickly replace consumables

• The ergonomically shaped splash guard significantly reduces splashing and can be used as a comfortable hand rest during longer procedures
• Grip recesses allow for the replacement of grinding/ polishing media even when the ring is in place

Simple cleaning system

Single-Disc-Design: Easy removal of all components and easy access

• The splash guard ring and working wheel can be removed with minimal effort, thereby reducing setup and cleaning times
• Working disc cooling for long polishing cycles and reduced cleaning effort thanks to basin rinsing
• The tub insert (plastic inlay) is easy to replace or clean to remove abrasion and residue from the Suspension

Intuitive and easy to use

Ergonomically integrated 10-inch industrial touchscreen with QATM user software

• Clear menu structure and easy configuration and saving of all process parameters
• Progress indicator for the current procedure via a status bar and an audible signal at the end of the grinding/polishing process
• Level indicator for suspensions
• Pre-installed preparation methods for various materials and applications

Option: Qdoser dosing systems

Can be optionally equipped with software-controlled dosing systems for high process flexibility

• Modular Dosing System: Qdoser GO and PLUS can be combined for up to 8 suspensions
• Qdoser GO: Fully automatic, software-controlled dispensing system with 4 easily removable and refillable dispensing bottles for reproducible results (magnetic stirring function available as an option)
• Qdoser PLUS: Also allows for fine polishing (optional upgrade to a 1-liter bottle for fine polishing suspension)

The fully automatic, software-controlled Qdoser dosing system speeds up the grinding and polishing processes in the materialographic laboratory and is compatible with the QPol M, GO, and PLUS series, as well as the QPol PRO. Four screw-top 500-ml glass bottles can be filled with QPREP diamond suspensions, QPREP lubricants (diamond lubricants), and/or QPREP fine-polishing suspensions through a separate opening in the lid. The suspension storage bottles are easily removable, making them simple to clean. A backflush function keeps the connecting hoses clean.

Optimized filling and dosing

The suspension storage bottles can be removed at any time and refilled in a way that is optimized for application, e.g., with:

• Qdoser PLUS: 3x diamond suspensions/lubricant and 1x fine polishing suspension (optional upgrade to a 1-liter bottle for fine polishing suspension)
• Qdoser GO: 4x Dia-COMPLETE diamond suspensions

Option: Magnetic stirrer

A magnetic stirrer is available as an option for stirring the polishing agents to achieve excellent preparation results

• The integrated magnetic stirrer prevents the suspension from settling
• Optimal distribution of polishing particles through automatic stirring of the suspensions

Dosage

High flexibility and ease of use thanks to simple polishing agent dispensing

• Easy installation of the dispensing nozzles into the designat-ed mount in the grinding and polishing head
• Fully automatic, software-controlled dosing via the industrial touchscreen on Qpol machines
• Dosing interval can be adjusted as needed
• Including backflush function for easy cleaning

Qdoser ONE

Dropper bottle for easy and continuous dosing

• Easy to use – Standard QATM suspension and lubricant bottles can be quickly and easily screwed onto the dispenser
• Continuously variable dosing rate – The dosing rate is precisely controlled using an adjustment screw
• Can be used with a stand or mounted on polishing head
