Specimen holders

Specimen holders

Specimen holders

The specimen holders allow you to grind and polish different shapes and sizes. When the specimens are clamped in the specimen holder you can prepare and clean up to 12 specimens at once saving you process time. The holes are optimized to reach the edges of the preparation surface giving you the best utilization of your preparation surface.

The Flexible specimen

Improve workplace safety and reduce your process time by 40 %*

The Flexible specimen holder is the only specimen holder on the market that can hold odd-shaped specimens without clamping. It is a simple way to upgrade your manual grinding and polishing solution to semi-automatic – giving you a safer process with significantly higher reproducibility.

  • Improve health & safety with a more ergonomic process
  • Raise reproducibility with a more consistent process
  • Save time with high efficiency preparation surfaces

A safer solution for your operators

Manual grinding and polishing can be straining on the operator’s wrist, elbow and shoulder. With the Flexible specimen holder, you can grind and polish a wide range of specimens without holding them by hand – a far more ergonomically correct solution that significantly reduces strain on your wrist, elbow and shoulder.

Higher reproducibility and efficiency

In manual grinding and polishing, even experienced technicians find it difficult to achieve consistent results repeatedly. With the Flexible specimen holder, the specimen is held in place by the specimen mover. This means force is applied evenly across the specimen for the entire process, improving the reproducibility of your results. It also enables you to replace SiC Paper with MD surfaces – a more efficient solution that can reduce process time by up to 40 %*.
