Petrographic & Geology Thin Sections -
Kemtech III

The Kemtech III Geological Lapping Machine is able to accurately lap and polish thin sections mounted on glass slides down to 20 microns. Metered dosing of conventional and/or diamond abrasives is applied to the lapping plate using the aKu-Disp Geo peristaltic dispenser. The Kemet Lift Off Disc system allows quick transitions between the lapping and polishing stages.

Kemtech IV - Ideal for concrete sample preparation

The Kemtech IV geological lapping machine has a 20” lapping plate with driven rings as an option. It comes fully equipped and ready to use and is suitable for vacuum jigs of slides up to 152 x 102 mm. It can also lap components up to 191mm diameter (7.5”) across the largest dimension. In certain circumstances larger components can be accommodated.

The machine is equipped with three conditioning rings running against freely rotating rollers mounted in fully adjustable yokes. Lap plate flatness can be easily controlled by conditioning ring position. The automatic slurry dispenser system is mounted in one corner of the machine. The lap plate rotates at 70rpm on fixed speed machines and is variable between 7 and 70rpm on the variable speed drive versions. The machine controls are housed in a separate box mounted on the front wall of the base. In all cases, the lapping operation is controlled by an adjustable timer.
