Kemet Cold Mounting Systems

The Kemet range of cold mounting resins includes acrylic and epoxy solutions. Cold mounting systems are particularly useful for

delicate specimens that will not withstand the heat and pressure from a Hot Mounting press, and are also a good way of

producing high volumes of mounted samples since 1 mix can produce many samples.

Hot Mounting Systems (Requires Hot Mounting Press)

Hot embedding resins are extremely hard, acid-resistant

and low-shrinkage. They reduce sweating and

guarantee clean edges when polishing. Hot embedding

resins are available in powder form and are divided into

two categories:

• Thermoresistant (Phenolic or Allylic).

• Thermoplastic (Acrylic or Epoxy).

Kemet Fixing Systems

Kemet have a variety of mounting methods suitable for

all types of grinding and polishing consumables.

Non-adhesive grinding papers:Non adhesive papers can be used with a paper holding ring. This clamps the papers in place,

and allows for easy and fast changing. Paper rings are available to suit 200, 250,

and 300mm diameter platens.

Self-adhesive Grinding and Polishing Consumables:Self-adhesive consumables can be used in 3 different ways.

Option 1: The self adhesive discs can be fixed directly to the platen.

Option 2: The Kemtak disc is used with Bramet self-adhesive grinding papers. It can be mounted onto the machine platen, or onto a KMS disc if

is being used with a magnetic platen. The plastic barrier film on the Bramet disc grips the Kemtak non-skid surface so that the adhesive is not

used. This makes it faster and cleaner when changing from one grit size to another. (Fig. 1).

Option 3: Self-adhesive grinding papers or polishing cloths can be mounted to a KMS disc. The machine platen is fitted with a magnetic disc. This

allows easy change over from one consumable to another. Multiple KMS discs are needed to use this method in the most productive way. (Fig. 2).

Magnetic Grinding and Polishing Consumables:Magnetic systems have become the standard for most

Metallographic processes. The Kemet magnetic disc

system is suitable for Kemet’s range of magnetic

polishing pads, diamond grinding and fine grinding

discs, and any magnetic consumable from other

suppliers. (Fig. 3).

Kemet Liquid Diamond

Type KM:Type KM liquid diamond is a low viscosity oil/water emulsion suitable for most

applications aimed for the metallographic market.

The new formula has the following advantages:-

• Lower viscosity to give better stock removal

• Less inclusion pullout

• Spreads better over the polishing cloth

• Parts are easier to clean after polishing

• Stable emulsion which does not separate

• Diamond stays much longer in suspension

Kemet Diamond Suspension AP

Kemet Diamond Suspension AP is a high

quality alcohol based polycrystalline

pneumatically adjustable individual force loading system, up to

6 specimens, front panel with touch-pad controls, specimen holder

rotating at 120 rpm, 60 Watt DC motor, quick-locking swing mounted

design, audible warning signal, communication capability with all

Forcipol instruments, steel mounting column and with one standard

drip lubricator, complete and ready for operation.

Digiprep 251/301

SpecificationDigiprep preparation systems are designed for fully automated

sample preparation with consistent and reproducible results.

The Digiprep head accurately controls the force applied so

samples are prepared the same way every time, independent

of operator skills.

Preparation programmes can easily be stored on the LCD

screen. Efficiency is further increased by adding a Dosimat

Peristaltic Dispensing system for accurate consumable usage.

Spectral PG Spectral MM

SpecificationThe Spectral PG is a compact bench-top Pendulum Grinder

for fast grinding of iron and steel samples for spectroscopic

analysis. It has a simple and reliable design with low noise

and dust generation levels. It is completely enclosed and

dustproof with Halogen spot light. The front cover can be

completely opened for easy access to all sides.

SpecificationThe Spectral MM is an automatic milling machine for fast

milling of ferrous and non-ferrous materials for emission and

X-ray spectrometer analysis. Automatic fine surface milling

guarantees the highest level of reproducibility through

automatic processing of the specimen. The Spectral MM

has a reliable and robust design with low noise and emission

levels. It has easy access to all sides.


M A C H I N E S F O R S P E C T R A L A N A L Y S I S

Spectral 250

Spectral 350

Specification The Spectral 250 is a table-top portable

surface grinder for the preparation of

steel samples for Spectroscopy.

A compact design with vibration free operation makes it a practical instrument to

work with. Low noise and dust generation levels as well as standard outlet for

dust exhauster are additional advantages.

The 250 mm dia Drive Plate is dynamically balanced for smooth running. As

grinding discs are held on the plates by vacuum they do not need to be self

adhesive. 40 to 120 grit discs can usually be used to obtain the desired surface

quality. The Spectral 250 is equipped with an electronic brake system which

brings the motor to a quick full stop in seconds.

SpecificationThe Spectral 350 Dual Disc grinder is used to achieve excellent precision flat surfaces

on iron and steel specimens for Spectroscopic Analysis. The robust and vibration-free

construction has been designed for continuous operation at high sample throughput.

The Spectral 350 has 2 independently driven 350mm dia plates. These are dynamically

balanced for smooth running. Speeds can be set at 1400 or 2800 rpm so coarse and

fine grinding can be done on the same machine. Abrasive discs are fixed to the plates

by vacuum they do not need to be self adhesive. They are easy to replace and the full

width of the disc can be used.

A strong Aspiration Device (Blower) unit is available as an accessory with easily

replaceable filter. This creates a dust free working environment. Both plates are

covered half way by a lid which allows grinding in just one area for operator safety

and comfort.

The Spectral 350 is also equipped with a breaking device which brings the plates to a

rapid stop. The machine is fitted with safety interlocks which do not allow the lid to be

opened before the motors are stopped.


Kemet Geological Sample Preparation

The Kemet range of Geological sample preparation equipment can cater for high or low volume production. The details below will

help to determine the most suitable system for your application:

Step 1Impregnate porous samples using the Vacumet, or

mount samples directly onto glass slides using the

KEPT resin.

Step 2Use the Geoform to first section the mounted

sample, and then grind to the required thickness.

Step 3For polishing up to

3 specimens, use

the Forcipol 300-1V

with the Forcimat

TS head.

ORFor high volumes, use the Kemtech 15 Geo to produce flat lapped

thin sections, followed by the Kemet 300 LVAC for polishing.



Geoform Thin Section Cutting and Grinding Machine

SpecificationThe Geoform is a precision thin sectioning

machine for mineralogy, combining cutting and

grinding functions. With the cutting module,

using Diamond or CBN wheels up

to 200mm diameter, the specimen

is mounted on the holder by way

of a vacuum and sectioned to a

thickness of approx 0.5 micron.

Water cooling avoids deformation.

The grinding module is designed for precision grinding. A universal vacuum holder accepts different sizes of glass slides by

changing the location pins. A vacuum pump delivered as standard holds the glass slide fixed on the holder during the grinding

process. A built-in digital micrometer ensures high precision and the specimen is ground with an accuracy of microns.


Kemtech 15 Geological Lapping Machine

The Kemtech 15 Geological lapping machine is able to accurately lap t

glass slides down to 30 microns. Silicon carbide can easily be applied

lapping plate for lapping. Polishing of thin sections can be achieved us

AkuDisp Peristaltic Dispenser

The AkuDisp is a peristaltic dispenser designed to

work with Forcipol and Kemet lapping machines.

It incorporates a stirrer and has programmable

timer which is preset with 10 second time intervals

and will pump for 2 seconds. A separate purge

button will return any solution in the pipework

and spray head to the receptacle.

The AkuDisp can be programmed to pump

slurries for specifi c durations and frequencies

enabling metered dispensing. This allows a user

to accurately control consumable usage.

When integrated onto a Kemet/Metkon machine,

the AkuDisp will start and stop with the host

machine timer. This means an operator can leave

a machine to concentrate on other tasks, safe in

the knowledge that the AkuDisp will switch off unattended.

The AkuDisp is easily serviceable, with all rotating parts fi tted to the exterior.
