What your metallography lab actually checks
Defined removal at volume
A load cell and motorized force control hold pressing force 50–750 N and keep removal defined — so a high-throughput lab gets excellent, repeatable surfaces on demanding materials without operator-to-operator drift.
An applications engineer on the line
Method setup, consumable selection and troubleshooting from engineers who run sample prep and materials characterization in-house. Sub-4h reply, NDA standard.
The QATM QPOL XL is a robust, powerful floor-standing polishing machine built for high sample throughput with maximum reliability. Maximum body and polishing-head stability, an integrated load cell and motorized force control deliver defined material removal and excellent, repeatable preparation results.
