Castable Vacuum Mounting - Vacuum mounting of metallographic castable mounting resins significantly improves penetration of voids and provide better edge retention. The LSSA-011 vacuum impregnation unit allows for pouring the resin under maximum vacuum and for mounting multiple specimens.

Hand and Belt Grinders
-PENTA-5000 5-station metallographic and grinder offers the small lab the ability to prepare samples for macro viewing within minutes. This hand grinder offers 5 stations for coarse to fine grinding. With the addition of the 5th station a near polished specimen can be obtained using a 1200 (P4000) grit SiC paper.

PENTA-7500 metallogrpahic belt grinder for wet/dry coarse grinding.

Manual Polishers - metallographic manual polishers are available with fixed or variable speed manual polishing wheels, ranging in wheel sizes from 8" - 14" diameter.

Automated Polishing Heads - For polishing metallographic semi-automated polishing of individual specimens.

Vibratory Polisher - The GIGA-0900 metallographic vibratory polisher is a 9-inch and the GIGA 1200 is a 12-inch metallurgical vibratory polisher. These polisher offers the benefit of both frequency and voltage to control for polishing a wide range of sample types and sizes.
