Metallographic Sample Prep
Buehler EcoMet 30
The Buehler EcoMet 30 semi-automatic twin grinder-polisher is used to prepare material samples for optical microscopy, SEM, and microstructural analysis. It enables controlled grinding and polishing to achieve scratch-free, mirror-like surfaces.
- Process Grinding and polishing
- Surface Finish Scratch-free, mirror-like
- Downstream Analysis Optical microscopy, SEM, microstructural analysis
- Platens Twin, 8–12 in (203–305 mm)
- Platen Speed 50–500 rpm
- Head Speed 30–200 rpm
