Advanced Grinder/Polisher

Description

The Extec Labpol 12 3.0 Advanced Automatic Grinder/Polisher is a completely new, upgraded design.  It is a versatile, robust system that can be configured, as required, with 8” (203 mm), 250 mm (10”), or 12” (305 mm) platen.

The Extec Labpol 12 3.0 Advanced Grinder/Polisher features a combination central and individual pressure head. The individual pressure head unit accepts up to six 2” samples.  The central pressure head unit accepts up to five 2” mounts or six 1.5” samples.  The variable speed head can be operated at 10-150 RPM.  Oscillating movement to ensure flatness is available.  The oscillating movement is variable speed and is a variable angular stroke.   This unit is adaptable to the Extec Electronic Dispensing Unit.  The dispensing unit operates with a peristaltic pump and features a reverse rinsing function.  It has a total of 4 bottles; 3 bottles for polishing suspensions and 1 bottle for lubricant.

Optional oscillating movement allows the user to achieve unrivalled levels of performance and versatility.  With both variable speed and variable angular stroke the oscillating movement improves and ensures the quality of flatness and increases stock removal.   It also extends the unit’s life as a result of the uniform wear across the entire platen surface.

The platen is driven by a 0.75 kW, 1 hp motor which is complemented by Highly Efficient Torque Capabilities. The variable speed platen can be operated at 20-650 rpm in both directions, clock wise (CW) and counter clock wise (CCW).  An energy saving LED illuminates the work area.

The Extec Labpol 12 3.0 Advanced Grinder/Polisher features a 5.7” EZ-TSK (Touch Screen Keypad) for simple user operation.  The unit is equipped with both an Ethernet connection and a USB port for simple saving and loading of programs.

A water inlet and outlet are located on the rear panel.  The retractable faucet features an adjustable water flow and allows for easy cleaning.  The unit and operators are protected by a safety solenoid valve.

The Extec Labpol 12 3.0 Advanced Grinder/Polisher can be made into a floor unit with the optional base cabinet.  The base cabinet is equipped with a top drawer and a pocket on the door for manuals and other documents.

The measured stock removal option (central pressure only) allows the user to program procedures based on necessary amount of material to be removed instead of preparation time.  This is advantageous for the user in that it minimizes grinding time while guaranteeing the correct amount of material is removed. Stock removal allowed in 0.1 mm increments from 0.1 mm to 3.5 mm.

1. Advanced Automatic Mounting Press

The Extec Labpress® 40 Advanced Automatic Mounting Press is a distinctly upgraded and innovative design which exhibits several new and improved features.

Equipped with an exclusive heating and cooling system, it has a total cycle time of 5 minutes if the preheating element is in operation.  The preheating element keeps the unit at the start temperature for 20 minutes eliminating the need to heat from room temperature to curing temperature each cycle.  An audible alert notifies users when cycle is complete.

The Extec Labpress® Advanced Automatic Mounting Press features a single EZ-TSK (Touch Screen Keypad) for simple user operation.  Users can set the temperature, pressure, heating, and cooling parameters from a central screen.  The unit has 4 pressure modes allowing users to modify based on the mounting compound or variety of parts being mounted.   The unit arrives with preset programs for common compression mounting compounds and is equipped with a USB port for simple saving and loading of customized programs.

A water saving function allows users to conserve water consumption.

Mold assemblies are easily interchanged; it is not necessary to disconnect the air or electrical supply.   The unit is capable of double mounting by utilizing a spacer.

The upper portion of the Extec Labpress® 40 Advanced Automatic Mounting Press conveniently unscrews for easy cleaning.

A water inlet and outlet are located on the rear panel.  The unit and operators are protected by a safety solenoid valve.   Located on opposite sides of the unit are panels allowing for convenient access; one for pneumatics and a second for electrical.
