1.3 Additional options
1.3.1 Dosing system
The microprocessor-controlled dosing system is integrated into the unit.
This dosing facility for the application of diamond suspensions and lubricant is fitted with:
» programmable dosing interval,
» settable dosing time (pump time),
» 3 separate units 1 x lubricant, 4 x suspension and 1 x end-polishing suspension,
» exact droplet dosing (uncontrolled dripping is avoided through return suction of residual liquid)
The dosing system is programmed via the control and offers a uniform and automated working sequence of the
polishing process through the 6 ports for suspension vessels i.e. lubricant. (please note here the all-round product
pallet of diamond suspensions from ATM)
1.3.2 Sedimentation container
The movable Aluminium sedimentation container for the settling of grinding abrasion consists of a two-chamber
system with overflow. An inlet sieve is hooked into the first chamber to collect larger grinding residues.
1.3.3 Abrasion measurement
Abrasion measurement enables you to grind-away the workpiece sample by a preselected amount.
Upon reaching the desired dimension, the grinding sequence is ended automatically.
Here we differentiate between grinding acc. to
time and grinding acc. to abrasion .
1.4 Reference path
After switching on the machine, it first runs through a reference path. This involves taking the head all the way to the
top position. If there is no successful reference path, then the machine cannot be used.
