Multistation Robotic Grinders & Polishers
For That Much-Desired Polish

This multi-station robotic automatic polisher is a compact automatic unit that combines a grinding and polishing station, automatic dosing system, ultrasonic cleaning station, and an integrated tank used in a laboratory to check the microstructure of the metals. It offers intuitive and easy operation via a PLC touchscreen and a user-friendly system.

In the case of automatic polishing, the sample is fixed in a sample holder and pressed onto the polishing medium (polishing paper, polishing cloth etc.,) with a grinding and polishing head. The polishing medium sits on the top of a working disc. A series of grinding steps follow whereby each new step makes use of an even finer polishing medium to proceed step by step towards the grade of the polished surface desired. During the whole process, a lubricating and cooling fluid ensures that the sample is cooled, and the waste material is washed away. 

The last scratches are polished by removing a final layer. This step is the most important with a diamond suspension in poly or mono for getting mirror finish polishing to check in microscopy.

Program control helps to record every process and give repeatable results at all times.

Polishing is a vital step in the sample preparation process, aiming to attain a reflective flat surface while eliminating scratches and defects. This enables microscopic analysis and hardness testing for the final inspection of microstructural analysis.

Chennai Metco provides a diverse range of polishing machines that cater to customer requirements, including options for manual or automatic operation, single disc or double disc configuration, and individual pressure or central pressure systems. It also provides necessary consumables to achieve fine polishing using diamond discs, abrasive papers, polishing cloths, diamond suspensions, diamond pastes, aerosols and lubricants etc.

D N Solution Korea has launched its new DNM Series of machining centers (DNM 4500, 5700, 6700). These are the enhanced versions of its global bestselling DNM II Series that are designed to machine parts with even higher productivity and accuracy.

The new DNM Series offers larger cutting space, table size, and maximum load while maintaining the same footprint as the previous DNM II Series, as well as a faster tool change time for improved productivity. The new DNM Series is equipped with direct-coupled type spindles (8000/12000 rpm, 18.5/11 kW) and a thermal error compensation system, which are essential for stable machining, as standard features. Furthermore, the lubrication of the axis travel system has been changed from oil to grease type, greatly reducing maintenance costs and improving the work environment.

Highest machining capacity of the class

The new DNM Series offers a cutting space 6 percent larger than that of previous models, with increased X and Y travel distance, for the same machine footprint. Table size has been enlarged by 14 percent to facilitate the processing of larger work pieces with more complex shapes and more space for additional rotary table, while the maximum table load has been increased by 25 percent to accept heavier workpieces. Increased spindle power and torque compared to the previous models boast maximized cutting capacity. In addition, the direct drive spindle provides improved acc/dec rates which reduce spindle start/stop time and improves the productivity of rigid tapping.

Standard direct-coupled spindle for higher productivity

The new DNM Series adopts the direct-coupled type spindle (8000 r/min, 18.5/11 kW) in place of the belt-driven type as a standard feature, greatly reducing vibration and noise from the spindle during high-speed operation. Tool change time is reduced by 14 percent compared to the previous models and idling time is further reduced with improved spindle and feed shaft acceleration and deceleration performance. Direct-coupled spindles can also reduce thermal displacement by about 40 percent, enabling more stable machining. In addition, Doosan's unique themal error control system substantially reduces the influence of heat on machining accuracy.

Friendliness to the environment and the operator

Unlike previous models which used slideway oil, the new DNM Series employs the grease lubrication system, improving the work environment and reducing the annual maintenance cost by 55 percent. Dispensing with the inconvenience of oiling the machine every three days, users only need to grease it once every three months. In addition, since the slideway oil does not mix with the coolant, no oil skimmer is required and no unpleasant odors are generated.

The new DNM Series features the Auto Recovery function, thus resolving the problem of Changer Arm stoppage during operation and enhancing the operator’s convenience. In addition, E.O.P (Easy Operation Package) function can be observed through pop-up windows, and the Multi Machine Monitor function is provided as a standard to maximize the operator’s convenience.
