QATM Qpol XL / Qgrind XL – high-throughput polishing and plane grinding
Applications
For high-throughput industrial laboratories (automotive, steel, foundries) and System Lab lines. Qgrind XL quickly removes material with a plane grinding stone after cutting and mounting; Qpol XL – for subsequent grinding and polishing with large (Ø159–204 mm) holders.
Key features
- Force control by an electronic measuring system, 50–750 N (both models).
- Qgrind XL: ForceControl, SmartGrind (automatic setting of dressing intervals), “Roughing” mode – up to 20 % more removal, “Finishing” – up to 15 % better surface; removal range 0.1–10 mm.
- Qpol XL: modular dosing of up to 6 bottles (1 l), motorised dosing arm, integrated removal measurement 0.1 mm.
- Cleaning Boost up to 800 min⁻¹; tool-free disc and holder change; automated safety hood.
- 7” display, 200 methods, user accounts, USB/Ethernet for remote maintenance.
- Made in Germany; optional cleaning station, recirculating cooling, signal lamp.
