4.4 Semi-automated Grinding / Polishing (Optional)
Semi-automated Polishing: Individual vs. Central Force
Metallographic semi-automated polishing machines are available with individual
(single) specimen loading (FEMTO 1100S) or with a fixed central and individual force
(FEMTO 1500S) holders.
Individual Force:
The force is
applied to each sample
individually. The main advantage
for individual (or single) sample
preparation is the elimination of
the planar grinding steps,
resulting in fewer steps overall.
The primary disadvantage is that
the specimen plane is not fixed in
a rigid position during grinding,
and can result in a loss of
flatness across the sample.
