Saphir 550/560 - Automatic Grinding & Polishing Machines

Product catalog summary

Overview
The document provides detailed specifications and features of the Saphir 550 and Saphir 560 automatic grinding and polishing machines. These machines are designed for efficient material processing with advanced features for safety, speed control, and material measurement.

Grinding and Polishing Head
The machines feature an innovative grinding and polishing head that allows for individual pressure adjustments, enabling simultaneous processing of samples with different diameters and materials. The head includes a memory function for side and height settings and is operated via a touch-display. It supports both clockwise and anticlockwise rotations and includes a quick-change function for sample holders.

Safety Features
The machines are equipped with an automatic protective hood that ensures operational safety by only starting the preparation process when the hood is extended. The working area is illuminated with energy-saving LEDs, and data safety is maintained through password protection for individual programs.

Variable Speed and Material Measurement
The machines offer variable speed control, with the base speed adjustable between 50 and 600 rpm and the head speed between 30 and 150 rpm. The speed can be altered during operation. Material removal is measured automatically with a precision of 0.1 mm, and the machine shuts off upon reaching the preset value.

Water and Cleaning System
An integrated basin rinsing system cools the working wheel and cleans the basin throughout the process. The rinsing tap is extendable, allowing optimal water distribution across the working wheel.

Specifications
The Saphir 550 is a single wheel grinder/polisher, while the Saphir 560 is a twin wheel model. Both models support working wheels of Ø 200-300 mm, with variable speeds and programmable memory functions. They include features like an automatic protective hood, LED illumination, and integrated basin rinsing.

Power Supply and Accessories
The machines are available with different power supply options (230 V/50 Hz and 110 V/60 Hz). Accessories include a bottle holder for diamond suspension, dosing units, and connection sets for various operational needs.

Additional Equipment
Optional equipment includes a dosing unit with integrated nozzles for diamond suspension and lubricant dosing, and a settling tank for system lab cabinets.
