Buehler’s AutoMet grinder/polishers handle high-throughput manufacturing

Buehler, an ITW company, has introduced the AutoMet 250, 250 Pro, and 300 Pro semiautomatic grinder/polishers for use in material testing or processing high volumes of samples. They feature an intuitive touchscreen interface and advanced programming features, such as method storage and Z-axis material removal.

The nonprogrammable 250 model offers push-button controls and digital readouts. All the models have quick-cleaning features like an adjustable water spout, 360-degree bowl rinse, and bowl liners. The Rinse and Spin function cleans polishing surfaces and the platen at the press of a button.

Compatible accessories (splash guard, recirculation tank, and disposable bowl liner) and consumables (silicon carbide grinding discs, diamond grinding discs, polishing cloths, and diamond suspensions and pastes) are available.
