Material Matters

There are many definitions of Stand by, this is the one we like "d enoting an economic or financial measure prepared for implementation in specified circumstances." Why? I hear you ask. Service can be expensive especially when travelling costs are involved.  At Spectrographic we would like to give our service customers a helping hand. This is the plan if you are not in a hurry and can wait until we have other service calls in the area we can significantly cut the costs of the service by 40% or more. The Spectrographic service is available on metallurgical cutters, polishers and mounting press. Each service will involve a deep clean, change of specific PPM parts and electrical testing, a full report of any issues relating to the machine.  Now for the small print if non planned preventative maintenance parts are required we will send of formal quotation to repair the machine in question.

The MetCut 300 Metallurgical abrasive cutting machine for sectioning of samples such as heat treatment samples. The MetCut 300 metallurgical abrasive cutter uses a 250mm abrasive wheel and can cut samples up to 75mm diameter. The machine can be equipped with a recirculation tank and twin vices to offer a high quality abrasive cutting machine. Going out servicing these machines we see them in all kind of conditions most of them are often clean and reasonable, but you do come across a minority in poor conditions. We often find the clamps seized up and the odd coolant hose snapped from a build-up of dirt in the chamber. This causes the filter in the coolant tank to block and need replacing. At Spectrographic we have all of these items in stock so when we go out on a service parts can be replaced and installed immediately. After the service or repair a full report is sent out detailing what the Spectrographic service enginee...

The DP polisher could be considered a classic, it would only be Spectrographic who would restore such a polishing machine used for the polishing of geological samples or metallurgical samples. 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. Upon the completion of the refurbishment, the DP10 was looking good as new and ready for a new home with a clean bill of health. After all services and repairs are complete, we always aim to leave machines looking and operating as good as the day they first came out of the box. When your livelihood can hinge on the reliability of your equipment, Spectrographic specializes in keeping that e...
