All advantages at a glance
Excellent grinding technology
The HTS 3000 utilizes the advantages of HERZOG cup wheel technology. After inserting a new cup wheel, the machine automatically sets the correct height position of the cup wheel. During each grinding cycle, the cup wheel position is automatically adjusted to ensure precise material removal.
The combination of rough and fine grinding steps results in a perfectly machined sample surface for optical emission spectroscopy. The grinding process and cooling with compressed air have been optimized to guarantee short processing times. In addition, the use of a cup wheel reduces sample surface contamination to a minimum.
Monitoring of cup wheel wear
The operator can monitor the current wear level of the cup wheel via the integrated machine panel and the PrepMaster Entry screen. This enables predictive planning of maintenance work and replacement of the cup wheel at the optimum time.
Integration into automatic systems
The HTS 3000 has been designed for automatic operation. The machine is an integral part of the FoundryLab for automatic sample preparation and OES analysis of foundry samples. Here, samples are fed into and output from the HTS 3000 using a portal system. In addition, the HTS 3000 can also be integrated into a robot automation system.
Manual operation
The HTS 3000 can also be used as a standalone machine for semi-automatic operation. The samples can simply be inserted from the outside via the flap. Further processing of the sample within the machine is fully automatic. Once the grinding and cooling process is complete, the sample is returned to the transfer position and can be removed by the operator.
