Description

Programmable Automatic Specimen Mover

FORCIPOL instruments are designed to modular configuration for manual, semi-automatic and programmable automatic equipment. When the number of specimens to be prepared increases, FORCIPOL instruments can be fitted with one of FORCIMAT automatic heads (FORCIMAT 52 or FORCIMAT 102) for automation. FORCIMAT automatic heads provide high rate sample preparation and frees the operator from the grinding and polishing procedures.

FORCIMAT 102 Programmable Automatic Head is coloured HMI touch screen controlled and with the Base Unit, thus creating automatic preparation system. It is used to prepare high volumes of metallographic, ceramic and mineralogical specimens with consistent reproducible quality. The Automatic Head can apply both “Central” and /or “Individual” forces. It can accommodate single samples as well as multi - sample holders thus offering a perfect solution for all levels of sample throughput requirements. The Automatic Head is mounted to a hardened steel post which is affixed to the cast base of the FORCIPOL grinder/polisher. It can be adapted to all FORCIPOL series grinder/polishers and is easily and rapidly positioned by means of a quick-locking clamping mechanism.

The force on the specimen “individual” or “central” is pneumatically controlled by a pressure transducer. The system is enclosed in an ABS housing with touch screen LCD. The FORCIMAT 102 Automatic Head is rapidly positioned via a quick-locking clamping lever.
