A global reference in high-tech equipment for laboratories and industrial quality control, Verder Scientific is taking part in the Metalurgia trade fair with a special focus on the QATM range of equipment, the group’s brand for metallography. The company is presenting complete and innovative solutions for sample cutting, inlaying, grinding, polishing and microstructural analysis of metallic materials.
Metallographic analysis is essential for assessing the quality, integrity and conformity of metallic materials. This process requires precision, standardization and reproducibility to guarantee reliable results and this is exactly where QATM equipment excels. With intelligent automation, robust construction and integrated image analysis software, QATM solves the main challenges faced by industrial and academic laboratories related to variability in results, high processing times, human error and difficulty in standardization.
QATM equipment covers all stages of metallographic preparation, including sample cutting, inlaying, grinding, polishing and automated microstructural analysis. With their ergonomic design and intuitive interface, QATM systems provide smooth and safe operation, even in demanding environments. The modular system allows for simple upgrades and specific customizations for each application, serving laboratories that process from a few to hundreds of samples a day.
One of the line’s great differentials is its intelligent automation, which reduces human interference and guarantees reproducible results, saving time and increasing productivity. In addition, integration with advanced image analysis software enables precise measurements, detailed documentation and the generation of technical reports in just a few clicks, speeding up decision-making in the quality control and research sectors.
APPLICATION OF METALLOGRAPHY AND MICROSTRUCTURAL ANALYSIS EQUIPMENT
QATM equipment serves companies in the metallurgical, automotive, aerospace, mining and energy sectors, as well as universities and research centers that need reliable results and standardized processes for metallography and microstructural analysis. Whether developing new materials, certifying industrial parts or assessing faults, QATM’s equipment adapts to the most diverse production realities and regulatory requirements.
The equipment promotes direct gains in productivity, reducing sample processing time and eliminating rework. High precision and reproducibility guarantee superior quality in analysis results, which is essential for the safety and reliability of final products. Another key point is the specialized local technical support, which ensures agile service, qualified maintenance and guidance at every stage of the process.
Sustainability is another strategic pillar for Verder Scientific. The international group maintains clear and audited environmental targets, with practical initiatives such as energy-neutral buildings, the use of solar panels, water reuse systems and environmental certifications such as ISO 14001 in all its production units. In addition, the company invests in sustainable design, recycling practices and continually reducing the environmental impact of its products. These actions reinforce the company’s alignment with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, showing that cutting-edge technology and environmental responsibility go hand in hand.
