Planar grinding stones for perfect metallographic sample preparation

If highest stock removal with highest planarity in the shortest time is required, the use of a planar grinding stone in materialographic specimen preparation is essential. In combination with our powerful automatic Qgrid XL planar grinding machine or our grinding and polishing automat Qpol 300 BOT, even high sample throughputs can be efficiently planar ground.

Product Advantages

• Short machining time
• Excellent planarity for all materials
• Optimized removal rates with Qgrind XL stock removal monitoring
• Ideal preparatory work for polishing on our Qpol polishing machine series

Recommended applications

• Primary material control with high sample throughput
• Serial inspections
