systems and machines: | |
Cutting
Sample preparation starts with "Cutting" and good "Cutting" means a good
start. Selecting the right cut-off wheel ensures freedom from burn and
distortion and is the best way to save time and consumables. Correct
cutting produce specimens which are in perfect condition for the next
preparation steps.
METACUT
METKON chop cutting machines METACUT 250 and METACUT 350 are designed
for wet cutting of large and small, regularly or irregularly shaped
pieces of metallic, ceramic or composite materials. METACUT 250 has the
capacity to cut solid sections up to 90 mm in diameter. The cutting
capacity of METACUT 350 is 130 mm. The side access port permits the
sectioning of extra-long test pieces.
SERVOCUT
SERVOCUT is the perfect choice for a wide range of materials and for
heavy duty cutting applications. It combines the two well proven cutting
techniques into the same machine: Chop cutting: The specimen is clamped
and the cut-off wheel approaches the specimen via a rocker arm.
Table-feed cutting: Feeding the clamped specimen into a rotating cut-off
wheel using a slotted feed table. The sample to be cut can be accurately
positioned in 3 axis which is displayed digitally on the front panel.
MICRACUT
Precision cutting is used for precise and deformation-free cutting of
“Metals, Ceramics, Electronic Components, Crystals, Composites,
Biomaterials, Sintered Carbides, Minerals, etc.” |
Mounting
After cutting the specimen, the next step is mounting. The aim of
mounting is to handle small or odd shaped specimens and to protect
fragile materials, thin layers or coating during preparation as well
as to provide good edge retention. Mounting produces specimens with
uniform size so that it is easier to handle in automatic holders for
further preparation steps.

program based mounting sequences, electro-hydraulic pressure and
drive system requires no air), programmable pressure up to 310 bar,

850 W, automatic cooling cycle with two modes of cooling rates fast
cooling and slow cooling), programmable preheating and preloading,
selectable mould sizes from 25 mm to 50 mm, audible warning signal,
large LCD screen and touch-pad front panel.
METAPRESS-P
Automatic Mounting Press, fully automatic microprocessor controlled
operation, touch pad front panel controls and digital display of
heating time, moulding temperature, cooling temperature, ram
up/down, auto/manual cooling, cycle start/stop and a direct reading
pressure gauge. Moulding pressure up to 310 Bar, moulding
temperature up to 240° C, thermostatically controlled heating power
of 850 W, automatic cooling cycle and an audible signal for end of
cycle. Last moulding parameter settings retained in memory. Supplied
with all necessary hoses, fittings, power cord and instruction
manual, selectable mould sizes from 25 to 50mm.

Grinding and Polishing
In order to obtain a highly reflective surface that is free from
scratches and deformation, the specimens must be carefully grinded
and polished before they can be examined under the microscope.
Metkon offers high quality instruments and consumables for achieving
this goal.
Forcipol
FORCIPOL Series of instruments are available as Single wheel and
Dual wheel Units (200/250/300 mm wheel size). Both, single or double
wheel versions are available with constant, dual or infinitely
variable rotating speeds with digital display. This allows the
setting of the optimum speed for each individual preparation
process. When the number of specimens to be prepared increases,
FORCIPOL instruments can be fitted with FORCIMAT automatic head for
automation. FORCIMAT automatic head provides high rate of sample
preparation and frees the operator from the grinding and polishing
procedures.
Digiprep
DIGIPREP preparation systems 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
every time, independent of operator skills. With the ability to
store and recall preparation programs on the LCD screen, same
consistent results are obtained. High level of automation improves
the efficiency and gives the operator free time for other tasks in
the laboratory. Efficiency is further increased by adding DOSIMAT
Peristaltic Dispensing Unit for automation and control of consumable
consumption. |
CONSUMABLES
High sample quality and reproducible results can only be achieved
with high quality consumables. Selecting the right consumables for
each specific application is not just a matter of preparation
quality - it is also the best way to save time and money.
Metkon cutting, mounting, grinding & polishing consumables for micro
structural analysis are produced to match to your specific
requirements for high preparation quality. Chosen from a wide
selection, designed and tested for use on Metkon metallographic
equipments as well as on competitive units.

Petrography (stones, minerals)
May we introduce to you our new GEO Line of equipment: A complete
range of instruments for petrographic sample preparation, starting
with a piece of rock and finishing at 20 microns. This exciting
product range offers you the latest in technology and functional
design to provide high levels of performance in preparation of
mineralogical samples and thin section specimens.
For mineralogical specimens, the surface is prepared for examination
with a reflected light microscope and the preparation procedure is
basically similar to the preparation of metallographic specimens.
Preparing thin sections, on the other hand, requires highly
specialised equipment and skills because the specimen is extremely
thin, generally around 20 microns for observations with transmitted
light microscope. |
