Rail Polisher

In many instances the need for high specimen throughput and precision for grinding and polishing can create a bottleneck that is difficult to correct. In addition, some analytical techniques may be very sensitive to cross contamination from the lapping fixture.

The Model 181 Rail PolisherT is designed to grind and polish multiple specimens with precise control over each individual specimen with only the specimen coming in contact with the abrasive material. The fixture incorporates up to 3 separate pistons which are used for holding the specimen during preparation and controlling the amount of material to be removed.

The piston assemblies allow for specimens of up to 1" diameter to be polished in 10- micron increments. The specimen mounts also provide a means for viewing the specimen in transmitted light, enhancing detection of features that require a light transparent specimen.
