3.1

Device description
AbraPol-30 is a semi-automatic or manual machine for materialographic preparation(grinding/polishing) with a 300 mm or 350 mm diameter preparation disc.
A recirculation cooling unit (option) can be connected for supplying cooling water to the grinding
process. If preparation with oxide suspensions is needed, and a recirculation cooling unit has
been installed, a shift valve must be included or retrofitted.
The operator selects the grinding/polishing surface, the preparation method, and the cooling
fluid/abrasive suspension that will be applied automatically during the process.
Semi-automatic preparation starts by clamping the specimens in the specimen holder and placing
them in the machine. The cover is closed before starting the process.
The operator can select manual preparation for special applications. The operator holds the
specimens during manual preparation. When manual preparation is used, a special splash guard
must be placed before the machine is started.
The operator starts the machine by pressing the Start button on the control panel.
The machine stops automatically or by pressing the Stop button on the control panel. In semiautomatic preparation the cover is opened to access the preparation area.
The operator cleans the specimens before the next preparation step or inspection.
We recommend connecting the machine to an exhaust system to remove fumes from the working
area.
If the emergency stop is activated, the power to all hazardous moving parts is cut.

Setting dosing levels
When suspensions and/or lubricants are used in a preparation step, you must first select the type ofsuspension or lubricant, and then the dosing level.
For Level you can set two values: e.g. 2/7 (pre-dosing/dosing).
OptionPre-dosing

DosingIncrement

Dosing level0 - 100 - 20

1

ExampleThe pre-dosing level [e.g. 2]This value is the pre-dosing level, the amount of suspension or lubricant which isapplied to the surface before the actual preparation step is started.
This lubricates the surface to prevent damage from occurring if the specimens were to
run on a dry surface.
Applicable values depend on the frequency of use and surface types. For frequently
used surfaces, use a lower value than for surfaces used infrequently.

The dosing level [e.g. 7]
This value is the dosing level throughout the preparation. This level is set according to
the surface types: soft, napped polishing cloths require more lubricant than hard, flat
cloths or fine grinding discs.
Fine grinding discs require a lower dosing level of abrasive than polishing cloths.
