Grinding and Polishing Machine
Our FORCIPOL-TS, when coupled with FORCIMAT-TS, becomes an automatic thin-section preparation system. The FORCIMAT-TS is a low-speed automatic head, and it is mounted on a rigid hardened post that is fixed to the base of the FORCIPOL-TS grinder/polisher. It can be adapted easily and rapidly positioned utilizing a quick-locking clamping mechanism. It’s a versatile, durable, and reliable grinding/polishing machine.

It can accommodate 300 mm diameter wheels with variable speeds between 50-600 RPM. Modern electronics provide a smooth speed variation with a soft start and soft stop. The working wheel is powered by a high torque 1.0 HP electric motor with clockwise and counter clockwise wheel rotation possibilities. Using appropriate working discs can carry the grinding, lapping, and polishing process smoothly.
The drive elements are fixed on heavy-duty aluminum alloy casting. The wheels are mounted on ball bearings allowing the application of high pressures to prepare even large specimens. Ball bearings used provide quiet and vibration-free operation. Standard features include a water inlet and flexible water outlets with control valves for wet grinding.
