OverviewThe MoPao®3 is a single‑disc benchtop automated grinding and polishing machine designed for metallographic sample preparation according to international standards. It uses microprocessor control with stepless speed adjustment for both the disc and the polishing/grinding head, and provides intuitive settings for loading force and process time. Operators perform sequential grinding and polishing by changing discs or abrasive media, enabling a wide range of sample workflows suitable for industrial, research and laboratory environments.
Key features- Single‑disc benchtop configuration with quick‑change disc replacement
- Microprocessor control: stepless speed for head and stepless or selectable fixed speeds for disc
- Disc rotation selectable clockwise or counterclockwise
- Multi‑sample holder with pneumatic single‑point loading (standard 6 samples)
- Optional automatic abrasive delivery (liquid dispenser)
- Water cooling and abrasive‑removal spray nozzles to control sample temperature and remove debris
- Cast‑aluminum base and fiberglass‑reinforced plastic housing with stainless‑steel standard components for rigidity and corrosion resistance
