The goal of grinding and polishing steps is to prepare a final polished specimen that is free of deformation and suitable for analysis. This can be achieved in multiple ways depending on the overall goals of the lab. Whether a lab is looking for the quickest overall process, the best surface finish or versatility to prepare many different materials, Buehler has a solution for the your grinding and polishing needs.
With the launch of the AutoMet Grinder-Polisher, Buehler now offers a full line of easy-to-use machines. Choose from the EcoMet 30 or AutoMet Grinder-Polishers to provide the perfect solutions for your lab.
The PlanarMet 300 bench top planar grinding machine with a high torque, continuous duty, 5.7Hp motor has an aggressive material removal rate normally seen in much larger, more expensive floor model machines.
The VibroMet 2 Vibratory Polisher is designed to prepare high quality polished surfaces on a wide variety of materials, including EBSD applications. The 7200 cycles per minute horizontal motion produces a very effective polishing action, providing superior results, exceptional flatness and less deformation.
The choice of Grinding and Polishing consumables is a key factor that impacts the preparation process. Buehler's consumables are designed to improve efficiency and ensure repeatability within the process.
