AUTOMATIC PLANAR GRINDING MACHINE The ForceControl function ensures reproducible grinding results with the integrated electronic measuring systems. By selecting and combining different grinding modes, both maximum material removal rates (roughing) and excellent sample surfaces (finishing) are achieved. With the SmartGrind software function, the grinding process can be continuously monitored and made particularly efficient by means of fully automatic determination of dressing intervals. The integration of a cleaning station and the intuitive software interface set new standards in convenience and user-friendliness. The particularly robust and powerful design of the Qgrind XL planar grinding machine enables maximum and precise material removal. I 7“ touch screen I Status display and acoustic signal I Material removal measurement with graphical display I Automatic referencing and wear indication of grinding stone and dressing diamond I User Account Management with variable user rights I USB / Ethernet interface for remote maintenance and data transfer The modern design of QATM’s proven control software allows for intuitive and userfriendly operation. All process parameters are clearly displayed and can be easily set by touch. AUTOMATIC PLANAR GRINDING MACHINE CONVENIENT OPERATION GRINDING STONES AND DIAMOND GRINDING DISCS AUTOMATIC DIAMOND DRESSER CLEANING STATION (OPTIONAL) High-quality aluminum oxide or silicon carbide grinding stones are available for the various applications. Resin-bonded diamond grinding discs can be used for planar grinding of ceramic materials and hard metals. In SmartGrind mode, the grinding process is continuously evaluated and the stone dressing requirement is automatically determined and efficiently controlled. It can also be dressed periodically, after a timed interval, as well as by confirmation. In the cleaning station samples are automatically cleaned with water, ethanol and air or by spin cycling at up to 800 rpm (adjustable). Thus, each preparation step is finalized with a cleaning step to avoid cross contamination.
