Operation procedure
|
- Make samples ( 6 pcs) with a flat to be polished and ready
- Put 6 samples into position to be embedded on the machine
- Set the program of polishing in touch screen, usually two rough lapping and two polishing
- Touch the " run" button on the control panel, then the machine will finish embedding, lapping, and polishing in 40 - 60 minutes, depending on sample size and final polishing roughness
- Note: integrating with a robot, we can realize the autonomous operation from sample mounting, etching, and microscope observation.
