CA-LAP-300 Automatic Precision Polishing System

The CA-LAP-300 is a programmable machine that enables precise semi-automatic and automatic sample preparation of a wide range of materials for microscopic (optical subtract, semiconductor wafer, Fiber Optical, TEM, AFM, etc.) evaluation.

Capabilities include parallel polishing, angle polishing,
site-specific polishing or any combination thereof.
It provides reproducible results by eliminating inconsistencies between users, regardless of their skill.

Sub-micro accuracy micrometers control (pitch and roll) precision polishing Jig allow precise sample tilt adjustments relative to the abrasive plane. A rigid
Z-indexing spindle maintains the predefined geometric orientation throughout the grinding/polishing process. Digital indicators enable quantifiable material removal, which can be monitored real-time (front), or preset (rear) for unattended operation. Variable speed rotation and oscillation maximize use of the entire grinding/ polishing disc and minimize artifacts. Adjustable load control expands its capability to handle a range of small (delicate) to large samples.

Description

Overview

The CA-LAP-300 is a programmable precision polishing system for preparing material samples before microscopic evaluation. It supports parallel polishing, angle polishing and site-specific polishing, including combinations of these methods. The polishing jig provides pitch and roll adjustment, while a Z-indexing spindle maintains the selected geometric orientation. Digital indicators allow material removal and vertical positioning to be monitored. Adjustable loading, sample rotation and oscillation provide configuration choices for the preparation process. Consult the specification and feature tabs when defining the required sample preparation sequence.

  • Programmable semi-automatic and automatic sample preparation.
  • Parallel, angle and site-specific polishing capabilities.
  • Digital indicators for material removal and positioning.
  • Adjustable loading with sample rotation and oscillation.
