The TechCut 5™ precision high speed saw is a versatile, 
programmable machine designed to cut a wide variety 
and size of materials. It automatically sections materials 
at high speeds, increasing sample throughput. The 
microprocessor-based system controls sample feed 
rate, distance and force, and automatically adjusts feed 
rate as the cutting condition changes due to varying 
thickness and/or material differences in the sample. 
When sectioning is complete, the table automatically 
retracts the sample to the home position and stops 
blade rotation and coolant. The unique fixturing system 
allows for easy changes between the T-Slot Table and 
the X-Axis Tables. Both tables offer a variety of 
convenient, table-specific fixture options.  
Tables, accessories and consumables are sold 
separately.

Sectioning
Wafering blades are available in Bonded, Plated or Solid 
Core configurations with diamond, cubic boron nitride 
(CBN), aluminum oxide (Al2O3) or silicon carbide (SiC) 
mineral. They are recommended for precision sectioning 
or when kerf (cut width) loss needs to be minimized. 
(Dimensions listed are diameter x thickness x arbor hole.)
Wafering Blades
Metal Bonded Rim Section
Metal Bonded Blades
Bonded blades are composed of an inner metal core 
and an outer rim. The rim consists of either metal or resin 
mixed with abrasive, cured under high temperature and 
pressure to bond the matrix together. Metal bonding offers 
long life and durability, while resin bonding creates less 
heat, provides better surface finish and is well suited for 
cutting hard, delicate or brittle materials.
Diamond, Resin Bond

Low Concentration
Diamond, Metal Bond
Resin Bonded Blades
Recommended for general laboratory sectioning, excluding 
ferrous alloys, at either low (<1,000 RPM) or high 
(>1,000 RPM) speeds.
Recommended for sectioning very hard or brittle 
materials such as ceramics, silicon, glass and refractories 
where chipping and pullout need to be minimized. Most 
commonly used at lower (<1,000 RPM) speeds.
High Concentration
Recommended for cutting hard, brittle or delicate materials 
including ceramics, carbides, composites and exotic metals 
where low heat generation or improved surface finishes are 
desired. Most commonly used at higher (>1,000 RPM) speeds.
Recommended for sectioning hard steel, and iron, cobalt, 
nickel and lead based alloys. Most commonly used at 
lower (<1,000 RPM) speeds.
Recommended for sectioning hard steel above HRC 60. 
Most commonly used at higher (>1,000 RPM) speeds.

Non-Ferrous Alloys HV 450 – 800
Solid core cut-off blades consist of abrasive mineral 
mixed with resin to form a continuous matrix through the 
entire blade. Aluminum oxide is recommended for cutting 
ferrous metals and super alloys, while silicon carbide is best 
used for cutting non-ferrous metals and alloys. These 
produce minimal odor, cut cool and are suited for higher-
speed sectioning on non-gravity-fed saws. Two arbor sizes 
are offered.

Plated blades consist of a metal core with diamonds 
nickel plated to the rim. These blades provide aggressive 
sectioning on samples containing resins and soft materials 
including PCBs, fiber composites and plastics.
Recommended for sectioning resin or plastic composites, 
and other materials where metals are not predominant. 
The diamond segments draw coolant into the cut and 
remove swarf effectively. Used at either low (<1,000 RPM) 
or high (>1,000 RPM) speeds.
For general sectioning of a variety of nonmetals. Used at 
either low (<1,000 RPM) or high (>1,000 RPM) speeds.

Cutting Fluids
Cutting fluid enhances blade 
performance, extends blade life 
and minimizes material deformation 
by reducing heat during cutting. 
Use Deli-Cut low speed cutting fluid 
for gravity-fed saws at full strength.  
Use Maxi-Cut or Lubri-Cut for 
speeds above 1,000 RPM (diluted 
2-5% with water). Lubri-Cut has low 
oil content and is easier to clean.

Cut-off blades are specially engineered for metallurgical 
sectioning. Aluminum oxide (Al2O3), silicon carbide (SiC), 
diamond and cubic boron nitride (CBN) abrasives are 
offered in various bond types for sectioning a wide variety 
of materials. Choosing the right blade for the right material 
is crucial in reducing thermal and structural deformation. 
Protective metal arbor inserts are molded into resin and 
rubber/resin blades. Blade arbor holes fit both 32 mm and 
1.25" spindle arbors. All blades are precision ground to 
slightly less than the stated diameter to universally fit all 
makes and models of cutting machines. Blotters are 
supplied to shield vibration from the metal flanges and 
help protect the blade from breaking during use.
Bond Information:
Resin Bond blades cut cooler with less friction and do not 
emit a burned rubber odor as with rubber bond blades.
Rubber Bond blades are thinner and ideal for production  
environments where durability and longer life are desired.
Rubber/Resin Bond blades offer both durability and 
cooler cutting characteristics.
Metal Bond diamond blades provide longer blade life and 
more durability than resin bond blades, for less critical 
surface finish requirements.

Blue Diallyl Phthalate 
This mounting powder is filled with 
glass or mineral and provides 
excellent edge retention and 
chemical resistance.
These mounting powders are used 
to make conductive samples for 
scanning electron microscopy and 
electrolytic polishing. The copper-
based powder provides very good 
edge retention and should be 
used for analyzing samples where 
copper is not a primary constituent. 
The graphite-based powder offers 
a higher hardness and is 
recommended for specimens 
without carbon as a component.
This is a clear mounting powder that 
allows easy sample observation.

Cold Mounting
QuickCure Acrylic
QuickSet Acrylic
The use of pressure with acrylics and epoxies prevents 
the formation of small bubbles (outgassing) caused by 
elevated exothermic temperatures during hardening. This 
also produces clearer mounts with better edge retention, 
improved adhesion and reduced shrinkage. Maximum 
rating: 35 psi (2.4 bar)
QuickCure offers excellent 
clarity, flow, bonding and 
grinding characteristics for a 
wide variety of materials.
QuickSet is used to 
encapsulate a wide variety 
of specimens, especially 
printed circuit boards and 
other electronic components.
Cold mounting is recommended when encapsulating 
samples that cannot withstand the heat and pressure of 
compression mounting, when better flow and penetration 
of the mounting resin is needed, or when a large quantity 
of samples must be encapsulated at once.
Acrylics: Typically used for their rapid cure times, or 
when large volume sample throughput is needed.
Epoxies: Typically used for excellent flow and penetration, 
or when better adhesion, chemical resistance, less 
shrinkage and clarity are required.

EpoxyBond 110
EpoxyBond 110 is a hard, fast-curing epoxy adhesive 
commonly used to bond glass cover slips to small or 
delicate samples (i.e., ICs), precoat samples prior to 
encapsulation, fill small holes/cavities and for other 
mounting applications. The two-part formula is mixed 
10:1 and cures bubble-free in 5 minutes at 150 °C 
(302 °F). The curing temperature can also be reduced to 
prevent damage to heat sensitive samples. Once cured, 
it is chemically resistant to etchants and will not outgas 
under vacuum.
Clear wax provides a quick and strong bond between  
samples and fixtures for cutting and/or polishing. It melts  
at 49 °C (120 °F) and is soluble in acetone.
Sheet wax provides uniform distribution of wax to improve 
registration accuracy of the sample to the fixture 
(i.e., dicing applications). It flows at 100 °C (212 °F) and is 
soluble in sheet wax dissolver.
Mount Storage Cabinet
The cabinet provides storage for polished mounts to 
prevent corrosion and dust contamination. The 10 
cloth-lined drawers absorb moisture and hold mount 
dividers for easy organization. The locking door provides 
a sealed environment. Rechargeable desiccant canister 
is included. Dividers are sold separately.
M-Bond 610 is excellent for adhering multiple samples 
for TEM dimpling and bonding of post-polished samples 
to grids for TEM and FIB observation. It is chemically  
resistant and provides a very thin glue line that ion mills 
evenly.
LocTite® 460™ is a thin, fast-curing glue used as an  
alternative to wax for adhering samples to Pyrex® for 
TEM/FIB thinning and other applications, and is soluble 
in acetone.

The MetPrep™ and DualPrep™ grinding and 
polishing machines, with the PH™ line of power 
heads, are powerful systems for semiautomatic 
operation, ideal for low to high volume sample 
preparation requirements. A wide variety of 
combinations provides ideal solutions that 
accommodate any lab, application or material.
Intuitive menu navigation with user-friendly 
touchpad interface and backlit LCD make them 
easy to use and program. The microprocessor 
based system allows up to 25 programmable steps, 
including parameters for platen speed, comp/
contra rotation (sample holder/platen), cycle time, 
fluid selection, sample force (LbF or N), sample 
rotation speed, water rinse and force reduction 
(on/off, %).
A “Procedure Development” mode allows in-process 
adjustments to platen speed, sample force and 
sample rotation speed to determine optimum 
parameters. Jog mode enables convenient variable 
speed platen rotation without activating the power 
head to allow initial charging of cloths or manual

Grinding / Polishing
This individual force holder utilizes spacer rings for specific diameter mounts. Rings can be mixed/matched for 
maximum versatility. The three (3) position holder is used with the PH-3™ power head. The four (4) and six (6) 
position holders are used with the PH-4™ / PH-4i™ and PH-6™ power heads, respectively. Rings are sold individually.
Individual force holders allow one or more samples to be prepared simultaneously. The advantage of individual 
preparation is that the system is balanced regardless of how many samples are prepared at once; samples can be 
added or extracted without affecting performance. It is also ideal for applications where small geometry and site-specific 
cross-section requirements make alignment of more than three (3) samples to a common plane extremely challenging.

Central force holders are suitable for high to medium volume sample 
preparation most commonly for quality control in production environments. 
The sample loading fixture (sold separately) is used to set the sample 
protrusion from the holder at an equal distance for grinding/polishing to the 
same plane.  Uniform, symmetric arrangement around the central drive 
adapter is necessary.  
Teardrop holders allow flexibility in the shape and size of the sample that 
can be held. A setscrew secures each sample.
Dual-cavity holders feature a single tightening point, which is useful for 
rapid insertion and removal of either one or two round or irregular shaped 
specimens per cavity.   
Custom shapes and sizes are available upon request.

The MultiPrep™ System is a programmable machine that 
enables precise semiautomatic sample preparation of a wide 
range of materials for microscopic (optical, SEM, FIB, TEM, AFM, 
etc.) evaluation. 
Capabilities include parallel polishing, angle polishing, site-specific 
polishing or any combination thereof. It provides reproducible 
results by eliminating inconsistencies between users, regardless 
of their skill. 
Dual micrometers (pitch and roll) allow precise sample tilt 
adjustments relative to the abrasive plane. A rigid Z-indexing 
spindle maintains the predefined geometric orientation throughout 
the grinding/polishing process. Digital indicators enable 
quantifiable material removal, which can be monitored real-time, 
or preset for unattended operation. Variable speed rotation and 
oscillation maximize use of the entire grinding/polishing disc and 
minimize artifacts. Adjustable load control expands its capability 
to handle a range of small/delicate to large samples.
A wide variety of fixtures and accessories are available for either 8" or 12" platen systems. The cam-locking interface 
offers tool-free attachment and removal for ease of use.

This tool is used to cross-section small, unencapsulated 
samples such as ICs and other electronic devices. Its 
unique design is stable, well-balanced and has a low 
center of gravity to avoid rocking during polishing. 
Adjustable PTFE feet are used to align the sample with 
the desired polishing plane. 
The cross-sectioning paddle is attached using a 
cam-locking system, allowing quick, easy removal for 
sample inspection and exact repositioning throughout the 
polishing procedure.
This polisher for thinning materials to electron 
transparency for TEM observation has rear micrometer 
heads that allow radial or axial (wedge) angle 
adjustments to the sample.  
Nonrotating micrometer heads are available to eliminate  
faceting of Delrin® feet. The cross-sectioning and Pyrex® 
paddles attach using a cam-locking system, allowing 
quick, easy removal for sample inspection and exact 
repositioning throughout the polishing procedure. The 
small Pyrex® footprint reduces planarization time.

 * 600 Fine Grit
 
● 600 fine grit minimizes loading when preparing  
   samples cold mounted in epoxy or acrylic. 
● Provides a finer surface finish, which can reduce 
   subsequent polishing time.
** 1200 Fine Grit vs. 1200 (P-4000) Grit
 
● 1200 fine grit is an electrostatically coated   
    abrasive. The SiC particles stand on end, which  
    provides more of a cutting action for continued 
    material removal. It is recommended for softer      
    materials that smear, step grinding for failure  
    analysis, and serial sectioning. 
● 1200 (P-4000) grit is sputter coated, which    
    randomizes the orientation of the SiC particles. 
    This provides more of a polishing action and
    does not remove as much material as 1200 fine 
    grit. It can be used for a wide variety of 
    applications.
Wide, low-profile tab enables easy liner removal
Features:
 Premium resin bonding system that retains abrasive for sustained 
material removal and long life
 Premium thick C-weight base with high latex content for superior 
waterproofing
 Special low-tack adhesive for easy removal of the disc from platen

Type B Diamond Lapping Film has diamond particles 
contained in ceramic beads that are resin bonded to the 
film. As the beads wear away, new diamond particles are 
exposed to allow continuous, aggressive material removal. 
Type B film provides a coarser finish grade-for-grade 
compared with standard diamond lapping film, and is 
typically used for encapsulated samples.
Diamond Lapping Film
Standard Diamond Lapping Film consists of precision 
graded diamond particles resin bonded to a uniform film. 
They provide excellent edge retention and maintain 
coplanarity regardless of varying materials or hardness 
within the sample. These discs are typically used for 
unencapsulated cross-sectioning, TEM wedge/plan-view 
polishing, backside polishing and FIB sample thinning.

Silicon Dioxide Films
Aluminum Oxide: for ferrous metals, glass 
Silicon Carbide: for non-ferrous metals, polymers
Silicon Dioxide: as an alternative to colloidals and cloths 
for final polish on SEM and TEM samples
Lapping film consists of a mylar film coated with resin 
containing either aluminum oxide, silicon carbide or 
silicon dioxide abrasive. It is recommended for fine 
grinding and lapping applications where edge retention 
is important. These films are for use with either 
encapsulated or unencapsulated samples but are not 
recommended for power head applications.

Grinding / Polishing
Diamond is preferred for most polishing applications when compared to other abrasives. Although diamond is more costly 
per unit, the amount required to polish is substantially less by a greater factor than the difference in price. Diamond also 
cuts faster, requiring less time to achieve an improved surface finish and produce an accurate representation of the true
microstructure with fewer artifacts (smearing, scratches, etc.).  All products are precision graded by Swiss micronizing 
standards for high performance.
Diamond Polishing
Polycrystalline Diamond 
With many more cutting surfaces per particle, 
polycrystalline diamond provides higher removal rates 
than monocrystalline abrasive. As it cuts, it breaks down 
in its original shape, allowing for finer finishes in less 
time. Because polycrystalline has no cleavage planes, it 
cannot splinter like monocrystalline diamond. It causes 
less subsurface deformation, and is excellent when 
polishing samples composed of different materials or

Monocrystalline Diamond 
Monocrystalline diamond provides a cost-effective means 
for good stock removal and finish. It has a slightly irregular 
shape with multiple cutting edges, and is recommended 
for general applications where polycrystalline’s features 
are not required.
Allied diamond suspensions are specifically formulated to ensure that the diamond particles remain suspended and 
separated throughout the stable liquid carrier. They are excellent for distributing diamond easily and uniformly over the 
cloth or platen surface, and are made with either alcohol (water-free), glycol or water based formulas. All 8 oz. and 16 oz. 
bottles include a flip-top and trigger sprayer for dispensing. Gallons include a prelabeled 16 oz. empty bottle for 
dispensing convenience.
Water soluble and environmentally friendly, this diamond 
suspension is mixed with a glycol base for improved cooling 
and is ideal for manual application or automatic “drip” 
dispensing systems, where lubricant is also applied.

a clean, convenient alternative to powders and are 
ideal for the finest finishes.
De-agglomerated alumina powder is specially treated 
to reduce the number of agglomerates (groups of 
particles in each grade of manufactured alumina), 
providing fast, uniform surface finishes.
Allied alumina powders are made to the tightest quality specifications and are used for final polishing of metallographic 
specimens.  Accurately controlled purity levels and particle size distribution ensure optimum polishing results. Mix with 
DI water to produce a liquid slurry. The 0.05 µm particle type/shape is gamma, while 0.3 and 1 µm are alpha.

Adhesive Backing: Each cloth is secured to an 
individual, dedicated platen or support disc using 
its adhesive backing. Remova­l and reapplication 
is discouraged because of reduced adhesion. 
Adhesive backed polishing cloths are the most 
economical choice.
Flexible Ferromagnetic (FM) Backing: Each 
cloth features a flexible ferromagnetic  backing 
that adheres to magnetic platens. Multiple discs 
can be used with one magnetized platen, reducing 
the number of platens needed for each procedure, 
machine or lab. 
Rigid Ferromagnetic (FM) Backing: Each cloth 
features a rigid ferromagnetic backing that adheres 
to magnetic platens. Multiple discs can be used 
with one magnetized platen, reducing the number 
of platens needed for each procedure, machine or 
lab. The backing offers corrosion resistance, high 
stiffness and a rounded, burr-free edge for safer 
handling. Rigid discs are also well suited for 
applications that utilize alcohol based suspensions, 
slurries and lubricants, where prolonged polishing 
times are needed (EBSD), or in high force 
applications that generate more heat.
A wide range of polishing cloths is offered for fine grinding or for coarse, intermediate and final polishing of all 
materials. They are available either with adhesive backing for standard platens, or with rigid (steel) or flexible (rubber) 
ferromagnetic backing for magnetic platens.

aggressive than non-woven cloths.
Very hard, resin coated, durable, coarse woven polyester for use with diamond  
(30-6 µm). Produces high material removal rate and excellent flatness for fine  
grinding or coarse and intermediate polishing on a variety of materials.
Very hard, resin coated, dense woven polyester for use with diamond (15-3 µm). 
Maintains superior edge retention and flatness and provides aggressive material 
removal for coarse to intermediate polishing of metals, ceramics and refractory  
materials.  Not recommended for cold mounted materials.

Non-Woven Polishing Cloths
Non-woven cloths feature low compression, with surfaces that tend to be softer than woven cloths. A non-woven cloth can 
have fibers interlaced throughout the surface, but the pattern is random rather than a cross-weave. Non-woven cloths are 
less aggressive, so they are better suited for intermediate and final polishing steps.

Item               Description
3D capability is required to uniformly deprocess 
warped samples exhibiting either a convex or 
concave physical profile. It is useful for package 
deprocessing and die thinning for electrical fault 
localization methods that demand extreme 
uniformity of material removal and final thickness 
control.  
The advantage of deprocessing a device by 
following its physical profile is that it remains in its 
“as-manufactured” physical state. This approach 
increases accuracy of material removal and 
reduces the risk of either mechanically induced or 
post-processing stress relaxation damage such as 
cracking or delamination. 
The 3D software module supports the use and/or 
creation of custom/predictive maps to control the 
milling profile. Both symmetrical and asymmetrical 
profiles can be used and adjusted to match the 
physical changes encountered, providing a high 
degree of versatility to the operator.
 ● Stacked die deprocessing – X-ray image 
before (top) and after (bottom)
● 8-layer die stack deprocessed to die 7
● 4-layer board deprocessed to layer 1
Convex/curved die profile
Flat plane deprocessing produces nonuniform 
material removal and thickness. 
Deprocessing the device by following its profile 
ensures uniform material removal.

It is necessary for applications that require uniform 
thinning to a specific target with a tolerance of ± 5 µm or 
better.  
The X-Prep® fixture adapter is also secured to the 
motorized stage on the X-Prep® Vision™, ensuring the 
measurement/tool control coordinates remain aligned 
when transferred between systems.
A library with data on over 130 materials (e.g., GaAs, 
InGaAs, SiC, Sapphire/Al2O3, InP, SiGe, GaN, photo-resist) 
is included with every system.  
Accessories
Measurement & Observation - How It Works
IR light is focused onto a sample, and a unique signal 
based on the refractive index of the material is created.  
The return signal is analyzed by the software to produce 
a thickness value.
Measuring Below 10 µm Thickness
For applications requiring thinning to less than 10 µm, 
precise measurement is possible only by adding the 
visible light spectrometer accessory.

X-Prep® Accessories
A variety of fixtures are available to accommodate many sample sizes. Tabs on each fixture secure a borosilicate glass 
carrier onto which samples are mounted using wax. The fixtures feature a serrated interface that reduces surface 
contact to minimize sample registration errors. Borosilicate resists warping and maintains its shape through thermal 
cycling. It is easily machined using diamond tools for sample registration, or to produce clearance pockets for 
accommodating leads on device packages, capacitors or flip-chip die. 
The fixture depth allows the sample to be submerged in lubricant during operation, maintaining lower sample and tool 
temperature, increasing tool life and eliminating airborne particulates.

X-Prep® Consumables
Made of solid carbide for maximum performance and 
durability, these end mills are used to cut a wide variety of 
materials, including soft metals (Al & Cu), circuit board (PCB) 
substrates, ferrous metals (Fe) and other nonmetals.
2-Flute end mills have deeper, longer gullets for greater 
chip-carrying capacity, and are center cutting.
4-Flute end mills produce finer finishes and last longer than 
2-flute end mills, because wear is distributed over a greater 
area. They also remove material more quickly and can be 
moved across the sample at a higher rate.
Long Reach end mills feature cutting flutes that 
extend up from the tip approximately 3x the tip
diameter to allow cutting into deeper cavities.

Cleaning
64
(800) 675-1118 (USA & Canada)  (310) 635-2466 (Worldwide)  
Ultrasonic cleaners create microscopic bubbles that 
penetrate small crevices and explode upon contact, 
removing debris that regular washing can leave behind. 
Cleaning is useful prior to mounting, as it improves
adhesion of the mounting material to the sample, and 
prevents particles from contaminating cloths or 
scratching samples during the polishing process. All units 
have a stainless steel tank, mechanical timer and cover. 
Units with digital timers and/or heaters are also available.
For 230 V systems, add "-230" to the item number.

ZEN core Image Analysis Software
From materials research and development to industrial quality control and assurance, more and more materials 
laboratories are utilizing the advantages of digital microscopy. Carl Zeiss is driving this process with solutions that 
are continually setting new standards. A major component is ZEN core, the preferred image analysis software for the 
microscopist. With its unique modular architecture, it is equally suited for both newcomers and advanced users. 
It features seamless integration between camera and microscope for all imaging and analysis needs.
Why Consider ZEN core?
Integration with Zeiss Microscope and Camera – 
With each objective change, the magnification is captured 
and scalings are applied automatically (encoded 
microscopes). All data such as magnification, camera 
exposure and bit depth are tagged on snapped images.
Functionality – Zeiss gives users complete control over  
the system (camera, software and microscope) without 
using third party components, drivers, etc. Because Zeiss 
designs and manufactures all the components, they are 
designed to work together, seamlessly.
Support – Allied has image analysis experts to answer  
IA questions. Between Zeiss and Allied, users have access 
to two organizations for maximum support.
Versatility – A workflow can be designed to implement 
tasks easily and repeatedly. For advanced users, 
toolbars and macros can be customized to fit their needs.
Image Formats – ZEN core supports importing and 
exporting of most standard file formats. Its proprietary ZVI 
file retains image properties: calibration, brightness, 
contrast, gamma, user definable comments, keywords, 
date and more.
Panoramic image tiling allows 
simple capturing and stitching 
of multiple images to make 
one large common image.
Z-Stack/Extended Focus acquires and 
combines images from multiple focal 
planes to create a single sharp image.
Features:
 Measurement of lines, angles, arcs, circles, area, 
perimeter and more
 Annotations/Text
 Contrast and filtering adjustment
 Full camera control
