Autopolisher Features

Individual Force: The force is applied to each sample individually, eliminating planar grinding steps. However, the specimen plane is not fixed, which can lead to loss of flatness.

Central Force: Specimens are locked in a fixed plane, preventing rocking and improving flatness. However, 1-2 more planar grinding steps are needed with coarser abrasives.

Comparison Table

Feature Individual Force Central Force
Application of Force Individual pistons (1-6 samples) Central force (3-6 samples)
Grinding No need to planar grind Planar grinding for superior flatness
Subsurface Damage Smaller abrasives, less damage Larger abrasives, higher removal
Reduces Grinding Steps Yes, by 2-3 steps Yes, by 2-3 steps
Repolishing No planar grinding needed Requires planar grinding
