If you work in material testing, material science labs, quality inspection or university teaching labs, picking the right sample-prep hardware directly determines how reliable your microscopic analysis data will be. The iPoli-D metallographic manual grinding polishing machine is built for day-to-day metallographic sample preparation, balancing flexible operation, stable cooling performance and simple maintenance for lab technicians, researchers and engineering students alike.
Key Machine Benefits & Product Features
This unit comes with two independent grinding and polishing discs, so you can run separate workflows or process different test samples at the same time — this practical design noticeably boosts your overall lab work efficiency.
Boasting a 203-mm polishing disc diameter, this manual metallographic grinder polisher supports grinding and polishing for nearly all common specimen sizes you will encounter on the market. No need for frequent equipment swaps when switching between regular-size test pieces.

Built-in water-cooling system for metallographic sample preparation delivers continuous cooling while grinding and polishing specimens. It effectively avoids metallographic structure damage caused by overheating, protecting specimen integrity and guaranteeing reliable sample quality for subsequent microscopic observation.
It supports both stepless and multi-stage speed control. Operators can adjust rotation speed according to sample material properties, process standards and current grinding-polishing phase(rough grinding/fine grinding/polishing), helping you obtain ideal specimen surface finishes.
Thoughtful mechanical layout makes daily maintenance for metallographic grinding polishing equipment quick and straightforward. Consumables including metallographic grinding paper and polishing cloth can be swapped out without complex tools, cutting down downtime between sample batches.
Common Use Cases & metallographic grinding polishing machine applications
Metallic Material Specimen Preparation
Perfect for metallographic sample preparation for metal materials including steel, aluminum alloys, copper alloys and many other engineering metals. Well-processed flat specimens lay the foundation for metallurgical structure observation, failure analysis and material performance evaluation.
Semiconductor & Chip-Related Workflows
Suitable for wafer grinding and polishing in chip manufacturing. Proper surface preparation helps improve finished-chip performance and long-term operational reliability for semiconductor-related lab testing.
