Sample preparation starts with cutting and good cutting means a good start. Selecting the right cut-off wheel ensures freedom from burn and distortion and is the best way to save time and consumables. Correct cutting produce specimens which are in perfect condition for the next preparation steps.

​

Semi-Automated Grinding and Polishing, designed to enhance efficiency. Our Fully-Automated Grinding and Polishing systems offer speed,for high-demand environments. For those requiring robust performance, our High-Volume Cutting Systems ensure maximum productivity. 

A complete range of instruments for petrographic sample preparation, starting with a piece of rock and finishing at 20 microns...

This exciting product range offers you the latest in technology and functional design to provide high levels of performance in preparation of mineralogical samples and thin section specimens.

The aim of mounting is to handle small or odd shaped specimens and to protect fragile materials, thin layers or coating during preparation as well as to provide good edge retention. Mounting produces specimens with uniform size so that it is easier to handle in automatic holders for further preparation steps. 

Precision cutting, advanced grinding, and polishing units.

Optical emission spectrometry (OES) and X-Ray fluorescence are most commonly used techniques for the analysis of metals and solid samples.

In order to obtain a highly reflective surface that is free from scratches and deformation, the specimens must be carefully grinded and polished before they can be examined under the microscope. Metkon offers high quality instruments and consumables for achieving this goal.

​

Metkon Hardness Testers are ideal instruments for quality assurance, quality control, research and metallurgical departments to monitor the hardness during fabrication and after heat treatment or

welding as well as for the performance analysis on metal parts and new alloys.
