Metkon FORCIPOL102 with FORCIPOL Control Unit

The Metkon FORCIPOL 102 with the FORCIPOL Control unit is designed for grinding and polishing metallographic samples. Three wheel sizes are available for the unit: 200, 250, or 300mm. Choose from a PVC or an aluminum wheel. The aluminum wheel is more rigid than PVC and therefore produces samples with more planarity. The FORCIPOL Control Unit controls the disc speed, the water on/ off, and the start/ stop operation. The FORCIPOL control head requires manual manipulation of specimens during grinding and polishing operations. The FORCIPOL unit has a touch pad front control panel where parameters can be set and has an automatic disc cleaning and drying feature.
