Grinding and polishing machine Alpha-335P

Key Features of the Alpha-335P

1. Superior Grinding and Polishing Efficiency

The machine is equipped with a grinding disk diameter of up to 350mm (14 inches), allowing for large-sized sample holders (180mm diameter). This not only increases the contact area but also significantly enhances preparation speed compared to conventional 8-10 inch machines.

2. Intelligent Fluid Dosing System

The Alpha-335P integrates an automatic fluid supply system featuring:

• 6 Dosing Pumps: Ensures precise delivery of suspensions and lubricants.

• Electromagnetic Stirring: Prevents sedimentation of the abrasive suspension, ensuring the sample surface is always processed under optimal conditions.

• Liquid Level Sensor: Automatically alerts and controls flow rates from 0.1 to 35ml/min.

3. Precise and Flexible Control

• • Intuitive Interface: The screen displays real-time machine status, allowing operators to easily monitor and adjust parameters.

  • Pressure Mode: Force is accurately controlled from 50N to 700N, eliminating human error and ensuring absolute surface flatness.

  • Variable Speed: Grinding disk speed (10-600 rpm) and head speed (10-125 rpm) are independently adjustable, suitable for all materials from soft to ultra-hard.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions about the Alpha-335P

1. How does the Alpha-335P operate?

The automatic polishing machine works by creating friction between the abrasive material and the workpiece. Depending on the abrasive grain size, the machine can perform coarse grinding, fine polishing, or mirror polishing. Specifically, the Alpha-335P is designed to ensure consistency, providing uniform material removal and minimizing surface defects. Key components include the motor, spindle, grinding tools, and a worktable or fixture to secure the workpiece.

2. What are the benefits of the 6-channel dosing system?

This system allows you to simultaneously use multiple types of diamond suspensions or aluminum oxide slurries with different grain sizes without manual intervention, making the transition from coarse to fine grinding seamless.

3. What are the common applications of abrasive polishing machines?

Abrasive polishing machines are widely used across various industries due to their efficiency and precision. Key applications include:

• Metal Processing: Removing burrs, weld lines, and oxidation layers from metal parts.

• Automotive Industry: Refreshing paint surfaces, polishing headlights, and restoring chrome plating.

• Jewelry Making: Smoothing and polishing precious metals and gemstones.

• Medical Devices: Ensuring ultra-smooth surfaces on surgical instruments and implants.

• Aerospace: Finishing turbine blades and other high-precision components.

The Alpha-335P is particularly effective in metallurgical labs, where sample preparation requires high repeatability and minimal surface deformation.

4. What are the advantages of using automatic polishing machines over traditional methods?

Compared to manual or legacy mechanical methods, modern abrasive polishing machines offer several benefits:

• Consistency: Automatic polishers like the Alpha-335P produce a uniform surface finish with minimal user error.

• Efficiency: High-speed abrasion significantly reduces processing time.

• Versatility: Interchangeable abrasive materials allow for multiple finishing stages on the same machine.

• Precision: Advanced models allow for precise control over speed, pressure, and abrasive selection.

• Cost-Effectiveness: Reduced labor costs and material waste improve overall productivity.

Abrasive polishing machines, including the Alpha-335P, play a vital role in modern manufacturing and finishing processes. Understanding their operation, types, safety measures, and applications ensures optimal performance and long-term durability. By leveraging these machines, industries can achieve superior surface finishes with higher efficiency than traditional methods. Whether for industrial metal processing or delicate jewelry polishing, selecting the right abrasive polishing machine is essential for quality results.
