A. DESCRIPTION
1. Design
The FORCIMAT Automatic Head is mounted on a rigid, hardened column of which the other end is fixed
to the base casting of the FORCIPOL grinder/polisher. FORCIMAT can be integrated to all FORCIPOL
model grinder/polishers and is rapidly positioned via its quick-locking clamping mechanism.
The specimen holder is driven by a 100 Watt DC motor at 50-150 rpm. The force is set individually which
is pneumatically adjustable between 5N and 60N from the front panel and can be seen on a direct
reading gage. The system is enclosed in an ABS housing with touch-pad front panel.
An adjustable and exchangable drip lubricator is a standard integrated part of FORCIMAT. The dosing
level is adjusted by a flow valve for optimal use of lubricant to obtain consistent results.
A complete series of easily exchangable specimen holders (6 specimens) from 25 to 40mm and from 1”
to 1 ½” is available to be used with FORCIMAT.
DOSIONE is an optional lubricating accessory of FORCIMAT. Please press ( I ) button on tha front pannel
of DOSIONE, when you put water and lubricant into the DOSIONE to first start. Please adjust the flow
rate of lubricant to required rate by rotating the flow rate button.
When you are replacing the bottle of DOSIONE please pay special attention to mount the bottle to its
place properly. If it does not fix properly, it can not perform the lubriacation.
The specimens are (1 to 6) easily placed in the specimen holder. The dosing level of the drip lubricator is
adjusted. The individual sample force is set from the front panel of the FORCIMAT. The cycle time, disc
speed and disc rotational direction are set from the front panel of FORCIPOL grinder/polisher and Start
button is depressed. Both instruments, FORCIMAT and FORCIPOL start operating simultaneously. Upon
completion of the cycle, both instruments stop and an audio signal informs the operator.
