QATM Saphir 550 / 560 with Rubin 520 – automatic grinding and polishing machines with removal measurement
Applications
For laboratories where controlled material removal matters (e.g. for coating thickness or case depth examinations) – the machine stops automatically when the set removal value is reached. The Saphir 560 with two discs allows grinding and polishing steps to be carried out at one station.
Key features
- Rubin 520 head with motorised height setting and pneumatic locking; removal height set with 0.01 mm accuracy.
- Automatic measurement of removed material – the machine switches off when the set value is reached.
- Individual (5–80 N) and central (20–400 N) force; reversible head rotation direction.
- Automatic safety hood; touchscreen with memory for programs, lateral and height positions.
- Integrated dosing system.
