 |
| Feature |
- DIGIPREP preparation system are designed for fully
automated materialographic sample preparation for
consistent and reproducible specimen quality.
DiGIPREP's Automatic Head controls the force applied
precisely and specimens are prepared exactly the same way
everytime independent of operator skills. With the ability to
store and recall preparation programs on the LCD screen
same consistent results are obtained. Efficiency is further
increased by adding DOSIMAT Peristaltic Dispensing unit
for automation and control of consumable consumption. | |
| Base Unit |
- DIGIPREP's variable speed base unit is available in two version; DIGIPREP 251 with 250mm
diameter wheel and DIGIPREP 301 with 300mm diameter wheel. The base unit is powered by
a high torque 1.0HP electric motor. The state of the art frequency converter allows smooth
speed variation (50-600 rpm) with soft start and soft stop. The stylish and functional
GRP housing is corrosion free and easy to clean molded wheel bowls and drains eliminate
leaks and the build-up of residue is prevented by constant flushing of the bowl. The drive
elements are fixed on heavy duty aluminium alloy casting. The wheels are mounted on ball
bearings allowing the application of high pressures to prepare even large specimens. Ball
bearings used provide quite and vibration free operation. When required the base unit can
be operated in manual mode, as well |

- DIGIPREP's programmable Automatic Head is 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 requireents.
The Automatic Head is mounted to a hardened steel post
which is affixed to the cast base of the grinder/polisher.
The force on the specimen. Individual or central is
pneumatically controlled by apressure transducer.
The system is enclosed in a GRP housing with touch screen
LCD. The automatic head is rapidly positioned via a
quick-locking clamping lever. The soft start and stop
feature automatically starts the sequence with a low initial
forece which is then increased to the preset | |

- DOSIMAT Peristaltic Dispenser is an optional accessory for the DiGIPREP systems. It is an automatic fluid dispensing instrument used in combination to obtain consistent specimens and to save time and consumables. DOSIMAT can feed both diamond suspensions/lubricants and aluminium oxide supensions. Dispensing parameters like; frequency,fluid selection etc. are controlled through the programme memoty of the Automatic head, high quality peristaltic pumps guarantee exactly the same dosing every time. DOSIMAT has 3 peristalticpumps for diamond suspansions/lubricant and 1 pump for aluminium oxide supension. The liquid is dosed exactly to where the operator wants it on the polishing cloth.
No vaporization or spray mist occurs | |
