A world reference in quality and precision in sample preparation for metallography, Buehler presents technologies in Metallurgy that combine robustness, intelligent automation and extreme precision in metallographic preparation. Among the equipment are the VH3100 Microdurometer, the Isomet High Speed Pro cutter and the Automet 250 Pro polisher, designed to deliver consistent results, reducing costs and increasing efficiency.
The company also demonstrates how the integration between hardware and consumables, combined with patented technologies, transforms the metallographic preparation process into a faster, more reliable and economical operation. The inlay resins, abrasives and polishing cloths are compatible with the equipment and are specifically developed to extract maximum performance from each machine. This synergy avoids problems such as unwanted artifacts in the samples, waste of consumables and variation in results. The end result is faster preparation, with consistent quality and minimal manual intervention.
DIFFERENTIALS OF METALLOGRAPHIC PREPARATION EQUIPMENT
The VH3100 Microdurometer equipped with the unique Collision Resistant System automatically protects the penetrator and lenses from damage, extending the life of components and reducing maintenance costs. Its DiaMet software completely automates the process from focus to measurement, ensuring high repeatability and eliminating human variables.
The Isomet High Speed Pro Cutter is ideal for heat-sensitive materials. The machine uses SmartCut™ technology, which adjusts the cutting speed in real time, preventing damage from overheating and preserving the integrity of the sample.
The Automet 250 Pro Polisher is equipped with material removal control on the Z axis, which ensures superior planarity and consistency. Another differential is the application of individual loading, allowing to polish samples with different hardness simultaneously, without compromising uniformity.
INDUSTRY DEMANDS
The metallurgical, automotive, aerospace, electronics and materials sectors depend on metallographic analysis to ensure the quality of their products. Accurate results prevent field failures, optimize the development of new materials, and ensure compliance with international standards.
Buehler understands that every second counts in a laboratory’s routine and that repeatability is just as important as accuracy. That’s why your equipment and consumables are designed to work together, creating a seamless and reliable workflow. This integrated approach reduces rework, saves resources, and increases productivity.
The company continuously invests in research and development to create solutions that keep up with the demands of an increasingly automated and connected market. This includes intelligent automation through software such as DiaMet that allows intuitive operation and complete standardization of the process. Protecting components by means of systems such as the Collision Resistant System extends the service life of the equipment. In addition, energy and operational efficiency is present in equipment that reduces preparation time and optimizes the use of inputs. To optimize results, Buehler partners with leading academic institutions and companies to develop new methodologies for materials preparation and analysis.
