Milling of metal samples

Product catalog summary

Overview: The PAL-MIL is a fully automated milling machine designed for preparing metal samples, including stainless steel, pig iron, steel, and nonferrous metals, for X-ray and optical emission (OE) analysis. It ensures contamination-free, reproducible, and plain sample surfaces in a single milling step.

Specifications: The machine dimensions are 1204 x 1152 x 2243 mm, weighing 1900 kg. It requires a 3 x 400 V, 50 Hz power supply and operates with a PLC S7 electronic controller. The clamping device accommodates samples with a width or diameter of 32-50 mm and a height of 8-45 mm, made from materials like iron, carbon steel, and non-ferrous metals.

Features: The PAL-MIL offers a quick release function for fast milling head exchange, a second milling spindle with a separate drive, and does not require a dedusting system or liquid cooling. It collects milling cuts in an internal waste box and supports 16 preparation programs for optimal settings.

Benefits: The machine provides fast sample preparation, reducing costs and maintenance time. It is suitable for production, calibration, and monitoring samples, ensuring high precision and repeatability for spectrometry analysis.

Models: The PAL-MIL is available in three configurations: PAL-MIL for manual or semi-automatic operation, PAL-MIL_H for linear arrangements, and PAL-MIL_R for fully automated systems operated by industrial robots.

Applications: Ideal for preparing samples for X-ray fluorescence and OE analysis, particularly in steel production where precision and cost-effectiveness are critical. The machine supports a wide range of sample shapes and sizes, ensuring evenness and reproducibility.

Technical Data: The machine can prepare up to 600 carbon steel samples or 200 iron samples with one set of cutting blades. It operates efficiently with a maximum preparation time of 30 seconds for carbon steel and 35 seconds for iron samples.

Fully automated milling machine for metal samples The PAL-MIL prepares stainless steel, pig iron, steel and nonferrous metal samples for X-ray and OE-analysis. The milling preparation procedure drastically and effectively reduces the contamination influence and the memory effect. Preparation of plain and reproducible sample surfaces in one milling step The clamping devices of the PAL-MIL are designed to handle a wide variety of sample sizes and shapes, for example cylinders, mushrooms or squares. Material can be milled from the sample surface until the homogeneous area of the sample is reached....
