LABTT's fully automatic metallographic grinding and polishing system: Empowering steel mills with high-volume sample preparation, solving metallographic preparation challenges with a single click.
2025-09-22
In the steel industry, the quality of metallographic sample preparation is directly related to the accuracy of material property assessment and analysis. However, traditional metallographic sample preparation relies on manual labor, resulting in low efficiency and poor consistency. This is particularly time-consuming and labor-intensive when dealing with large quantities of large-scale samples, a major pain point for many steel mills.
LABTT's fully automatic metallographic grinding and polishing system was developed specifically to meet the needs of steel mills for high-volume, large-scale sample preparation, truly achieving the intelligent transition from manual to machine-based sample preparation.
Breaking through efficiency bottlenecks, automating high-volume sample preparation.
Targeting the high volume of samples and tight production cycles in steel mills, LABTT's fully automatic metallographic grinding and polishing system enables fully unmanned operation, with one-click start and automatic clamping. The system automatically identifies samples and delivers them to the grinding and polishing station, eliminating the need for manual intervention. The equipment offers continuous processing, high efficiency and stability. In a single run, it can automatically complete the entire grinding, polishing, cleaning, and drying process for multiple samples, significantly improving sample preparation efficiency and making it particularly suitable for the batch processing needs of steel mills.
Automatic switching between 20 types of grinding and polishing media easily handles complex processes.
Different steel samples require varying grinding and polishing techniques. The LABTT system breaks through the limitations of traditional equipment by automatically switching between 20 types of sandpaper/polishing cloths, covering the entire grinding and polishing process from rough grinding to fine polishing. Four polishing fluids are dispensed on demand, precisely adapting to different material processing requirements.
Additionally, the LABTT system offers exceptional compatibility for large-scale specimens commonly encountered in steel mills, such as long products and plates, and can handle specimens up to 200 mm in length, ensuring stable clamping and uniform grinding and polishing.
LABTT has truly achieved comprehensive innovation for steel mill customers, achieving "high efficiency, standardization, and high throughput": a single machine effortlessly completes complex grinding and polishing processes, eliminating repetitive and inefficient manual labor. Precise control of process parameters throughout the entire process ensures consistent and reliable quality for every sample. Its significantly increased daily processing capacity makes it easy to handle large-volume sample processing. LABTT's fully automatic metallographic grinding and polishing system, with its integrated design that fully automatically changes samples and discs, polishes, and cleans, redefines the efficiency and standards of metallographic sample preparation, becoming an indispensable intelligent sample preparation partner for steel companies in their quality inspection processes.
