A Multi Doser for Various Metallurgical Polishers

Image
The Spectrographic service team have developed a way of using a Multi-Doser on a number of different polishers, and this how they did it.   Diagnosis ·          We wanted to make the multi-doser an independent; this will allow the machine to be used with various polishers.   ·          It needed a nozzle arm for the fluid (slurry) to dispense from.   ·          It also needed its own power supply as this machine was originally designed to attach with a (Struers Rotopol polisher / grinder).     Actions ·          A dosing arm was designed and manufactured with magnetic base. This allows the nozzle feed / doser arm to a machine by adding a small metal plate. Or it can fit to the Multidoser and hover over your machine dispensing the correct amount of slurry when needed.   ·          Supply and fitting of the correct power supply an

Recently, we have sold a Used Leitz Micro Hardness Tester and Iworks Ex metallurgical software to University College Dublin. The whole system was fully checked by our service engineers, and then the Software for Microscopy and MSDX501 camera was added by Liam our Microscope specialist. The software system can do the basic capture and measure of the Leitz Micro Hardness Tester that can measure metallurgy samples at a magnification of up to x400. At the moment we have another Leitz HV tester in stock, so if you would like to know more information about this full software system please contact spectrographic on: Email:  sales@spectrographic.co.uk Tel: 01274 966173 Website:  www.spectrographic.co.uk

Book Review: Surface Preparation and Microscopy of Materials by Brian Bousfield

Image
Spectrographic's Managing Director, Paul Chippendale, enjoys a good read.  His favourite Metallurgy publication is the book by Brain Bousfield, Surface Preparation and Microscopy of Materials. This metallurgical book really is the bible for all metallurgists, and gives a great insight into the field of materials surface preparation, according to Paul. It gives an in-depth insight into the preparation of metals, spray coatings, composites, minerals, PCB's and electronic circuits, thin film measurement, soft materials and ceramics.  The book also enlightens the reader into hardness testing and applied microscopy. Paul has been inspired by this book to write his own guidance notes for sample preparation, available from the website. The Spectrographic Team are here to help identify your preparation needs, and the book is available on Amazon. Email:  sales@spectrographic.co.uk Tel: 01274 966173 Website:  www.spectrographic.co.uk
