Polishing Head
1.3 Features and Benefits
Note: Installation of the FEMTO 1500 /
NANO polishing base should be on a flat
sturdy surface, with easy access to drain,
water and electrical connections.
The FEMTO 1500 is equipped with a 120 W
variable 0-200 rpm speed motor. The drive
mechanism is connected to the motor via a
maintenance-free anti-slip polychain.
The FEMTO 1500 also has a lubricant
dispenser in addition to a high flow water
valve for hands free wet grinding with
abrasive papers and lubrication for polishing.
In addition, the FEMTO 1500 can be operated
either automatically or independently with the
NANO polishing base.

1.4 Single Force vs. Central Force Comparison
Note: With independent pistons, initial grinding can be done with finer abrasives, thus reducing the
number of grinding steps. For flatter specimen preparation a central force polishing system (FEMTO
1500 or FEMTO 2500) are recommended.
Central Force: The individual pistons apply the
polishing force to the landing pads and pushes
down the holder through the spring loaded
central male coupler. For central polishing a
minimum of three samples locked into the holder
is required; however, flatness is then fixed over
all the mounted specimens
Individual Force: Individual specimen force can
be applied using the Quick Release Chuck system
by screwing down the outside of the coupler so as
to lock the specimen mounting plate into a rigid
plane. This set-up allows for the individual holder
to be removed and cleaned. This holder also
eliminates the need to re-plane the samples if they
Single Force vs. Central Force Polishing Machines
Metallographic semi-automated polishing machines are available with
individual/ single specimen loading or with a fixed central holder. The
main advantage for using a central force holder is that the overall
specimen flatness is better. The primary advantages for individual
specimen holders are fewer required grinding/ polishing steps and
the ability to re-polish samples without the need to re-planarize the

3.0 Installation
!
Install unit carefully! Improper installation voids warranty.
The FEMTO 1500 / NANO 1000T polishing base should be placed on a flat stable
surface.
Requires air, water supply, drain and electrical connections.
After mounting on NANO polishing base (water, drain, electrical) and connection to an
