Description ID-5x™
The ID-5x™ fluid dispenser provides automatic, unattended application of abrasive polishing solutions and lubricants. This five (5) position dispenser connects to the back of the MetPrep 3x™ and MetPrep 4x™ grinders/polishers, and is controlled and programmed through the touchscreen. Positions 4 and 5 feature high-speed pumps for dispensing colloidal solutions, and a corrosion resistant magnetic stirring function for use with polishing slurries that normally settle.
The integrated dispenser (ID) features a pivoting manifold mounted on the powerhead to position the dispensing nozzles so liquids clear the sample holder.
