Forcipol 2V Having two discs and variable speed range between 50 and 600 rpm, Forcipol 2V is the most universal grinder/polisher,    especially for labs having wide variety of materials. When coupled with Forcimat, Forcipol 2V becomes a versatile automatic sample preparation system with high operator comfort.

Automatic Operation

The FORCIMAT Automatic Head is mounted on a rigid hardened post which is fixed to the base of the FORCIPOL grinder/polisher. It can be adapted to all FORCIPOL series grinder/polishers, and is easily and rapidly positioned by means of a quick-locking clamping mechanism.

The sample holder can prepare 6 samples simultaneously and it is driven by a 60 Watt DC motor at 120 rpm. The pneumatically applied individual force is adjustable between 5 N (1.1 Ib.) and 60 N (13.5 Ib.) from the front panel and is displayed on a gauge. The housing is made of GRP with a touchpad front panel.

An adjustable and exchangeable drip lubricator is standard and the dosing level is done through an adjustable flow valve. A choice of  easily             exchangeable sample holders with set of rings from 25 to 50 mm and 1¨ to 2¨ diameter are available for use on the FORCIMAT.

The samples (1 to 6) are placed in the sample holder and the dosing level of the drip lubricator is adjusted. Sample force is set on the front panel of the FORCIMAT. Cycle time, wheel speed and direction are set on the control panel of the FORCIPOL grinder/polisher. When the start button is depressed, both the FORCIMAT and FORCIPOL start operating simultaneously. Upon completion of the cycle, both instruments stop and an audio signal notifies the operator.
