POLISHING AND LAPPING MACHINE AZA1000

AZA1000 Polishing & Lapping Machine is a dual-purpose laboratory system engineered to achieve exceptionally flat, smooth, and mirror-finished surfaces on rock, mineral, metallurgical, ceramic, and composite samples. It is widely used in geology, metallurgy, material science, and civil engineering laboratories for preparing test specimens before microscopic analysis, spectroscopic evaluation, and mechanical testing.

By combining both lapping and polishing operations in one compact unit, AZA1000 ensures consistent surface flatness, controlled material removal, and low surface roughness, delivering highly repeatable and accurate test preparation results.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the difference between lapping and polishing?
Lapping removes material to achieve flatness, while polishing refines the surface to a smooth, mirror-like finish.

Q2: Can AZA1000 process hard rocks like granite or quartzite?
Yes, it supports diamond polishing and lapping discs suitable for very hard materials.

Q3: Is water cooling required?
Yes, the integrated coolant system prevents overheating and improves surface quality.

Q4: Can multiple samples be processed at the same time?
Yes, the machine includes a multi-sample holder for batch processing.

Q5: Does it comply with international standards?
Yes, it follows ASTM and ISRM laboratory preparation standards.
