High-Volume Sample Preparation requires robust, high-capacity and highly automated equipment to perform high sample throughput with minimum operator intervention. Without automated or high-capacity equipment, a lot of workforce and extra time required to obtain high sample throughput levels. Repeatibility is also another problem for non-automated sample preparation equipment.

Metkon offers total solutions for both High-Volume Cutting and High-Volume Grinding & Polishing to obtain high sample throughput with maximum repeatibility, maximum automation and minimum operator intervention.

HIGH-VOLUME SAMPLE CUTTING SYSTEMS
SERVOCUT 602 Series of Cutting Machines are perfectly suitable for high-volume sample cutting applications. The Multi-Target cutting feature allows cutting multiple sample in same operation without re-clamping of samples, therefore minimum operator intervention required to operator the machine.

HIGH-VOLUME GRINDING & POLISHING SYSTEMS
Grinding & Polishing is the most time consuming and workforce required step in metallographic sample preparation. Metkon offers both Semi-Automated and Fully-Automated System option for high-volume grinding & polishing applications to reduce sample preparation time and eliminate workforce required. Many standard sample preparation operation requires total 4 or 5 grinding & polishing steps. The complete preparation time will take approximately 15-20 minutes including disc changing and sample holder cleaning time. In traditional grinding & polishing machines, operator intervention is required between all steps. This means operator is fully busy during whole sample preparation process. Metkon's High-Volume Grinding & Polishing Systems are designed for minimum operator intervention and maximum sample throughput.
