Thin Section Machine for Cutting & Grinding

A precision thin section cutting and grinding machine, for fast and precise material removal on petrographic thin sections, the Kemtech Geo performs both the cutting and grinding processes. On the cutting module, the slide mounted specimen is fixed on a holder with vacuum and sectioned up to a thickness of 0.5mm. Water cooling during cutting avoids deformation and heat degradation. On the grinding module, the grind position can be adjusted, with an encoder displaying the grinding position on the HMI to 0.001mm resolution, ensuring high precision.
