The Struers DP10 offers polishing of samples with direct load polishing cloths  fitted to a 200mm platen. They don’t make them like this anymore. Seized and clogged with dirt, this machine had defiantly seen better days! After stripping the machine down and a lot of cleaning, freeing off all bearings and the head weights, the polisher was looking and operating a lot better.

. Gail has now returned to Spectrographic after attending Crufts 2016 with her Daughter Willow and their dogs. Willow has enjoyed a very successful time by winning the 6-11 Pastoral/Working Junior Handling Final on Saturday, with her Shetland Sheepdog Tooralie's Firefly owned by Mrs Sue Walker, under Judge Liz Millward. On the Friday of Crufts Willow and Miss Fly also competed in the under 12 Young Kennel Club Grooming Competition and gained a highly respectable 2nd. Willow and Fly then had to compete in the main final on Sunday against all the other finalists from each day, they both put in an epic performance, according to Gail.  Well done to the main winners. Spectrographic didn't expect to see Gail on the Monday, and they were right.  Instead she limped home on the Monday after 3 days of the growling NEC flooring. So, Gail is now back, so if you want to speak to hear she is available in the Spectrographic Team Of...

Spectrographic has it's own brand series of metallurgical equipment, this includes the popular OmegaPress 2 mounting press. The OmegaPress 2 Metallurgical mounting press  offers a fully automatic sample encapsulation system for thermosetting and thermoplastic hot mounting resins making it the ideal choice for sample preparation. The electro-hydraulic unit requires only single phase and water to complete the mounting cycle. Cycle times are set to 7 mins. The slider closure allows easy ejection of samples when the automatic mounting cycle is complete. The closure can be lifted for maintenance such as changing the cylinder size, this takes less than a couple of minutes.
