Higher throughput and efficiency

LaboSystem is designed for reliable and fast manual and semi-automatic grinding and polishing in the lab or next to the production line – and it has the endurance and speed needed to keep up with high throughput.

As a manual or semi-automatic solution, LaboSystem can adapt to your lab’s needs and throughput demands. And, if you need to increase throughput, you can use two stations in a single system or multiple systems in parallel.

Speed up your process

For a faster process, you can run a 300 mm (12’’) diameter disc. This results in a 44% increase in surface area compared to a 250 mm (10’’) disc, giving you faster and more efficient grinding and polishing. Maintenance is also faster due to the unique Cone Disc System, while the special bowl liner makes cleaning quick and simple.

LaboSystem is also easy to learn. Operators with no previous experience can get up to speed quickly – enabling you to begin processing specimens right away, with little or no setup time.

Adaptable for your changing needs

LaboSystem’s modular design ensures your needs will be met as they evolve over time. For example, you can upgrade your manual LaboPol machine to a semi-automatic grinding and polishing solution with the addition of a LaboForce specimen mover and an automatic LaboDoser.

The LaboSystem includes a choice of three LaboPol grinding/polishing machines, three LaboForce specimen movers, and two LaboDoser dosing units. This gives you seven robust combinations – all proven to perform in demanding production environments.

KEY FEATURES THAT ENABLE FAST, RELIABLE, AND ADAPTABLE MANUAL GRINDING AND POLISHING

High reliability for continual operation

LaboSystem has undergone more than 40,000 cycles of durability testing and has been subject to six months of field tests in Germany, the USA, the Czech Republic, and Norway. As a result, you know it has the endurance and speed needed to keep up with high throughput.

High reliability for continual operation
Cone Disk System for faster cleaning

The Cone Disc System enables you to save time with extremely fast disc removal prior to cleaning. In addition, the high mass of the cone disk ensures a lower preparation temperature, reducing your consumption of consumables.

Cone Disk System for faster cleaning
Elliptical splash ring and bowl for faster preparation

The elliptical splash ring and bowl will save you time by making it easy to prepare the disk for the next preparation step.

High durability for long-term performance

Thanks to its highly durable design, the LaboSystem can be used in even the most demanding production environments. It is made from corrosion-resistant and impact-proof materials and has been extensively field tested in four different countries.

High durability for long-term performance
Bowl liner for faster cleaning

Save time and effort with the bowl liner, which comes as standard on all LaboPols. When the machine has to be cleaned, the bowl liner can easily be removed – and either cleaned or discarded.

Longer machine lifetime with ‘soft start’

LaboPol grinding/polishing machines always begin with a ‘soft start’ to reduce wear and extend the service life of the machine.

Control panel protection for greater reliability

The elevated control panel will remain free from water splashes and avoid damage from heavy or loose specimens. Its elevated position also reduces the chance of accidentally changing the rpm setting during operation.

Operator safety

LaboSystem has been designed with operator safety in mind. When pressed, the emergency button immediately stops all moving parts. In addition, the small gap between the splash ring and bowl prevents injury to fingers.

Operator safety
Convenient storage for a smaller footprint

LaboSystem’s storage pad can be used to keep items, such as unused specimen mover plates, tidy and within easy reach when needed.
