It is designed to withstand \nvarious glove box environments (i.e., alpha-radiation \ninert) and has an overall reduced size to fit through \nmost glove box portholes. Critical components of the \nmachine have been removed to an external (remote) \ncontrol box. Removable cover/side plates allow easy \naccess for serviceability.\nIntuitive menu navigation with user-friendly touchpad \ninterface and backlit LCD make them easy to use and \nprogram. The microprocessor-based system allows up \nto 25 programmable steps, including parameters for \nplaten speed, comp/contra rotation (sample holder/\nplaten), cycle time, sample force (LbF or N), sample \nrotation speed and force reduction (on/off, %).\n \nAccessories and consumables are sold separately.\nItem Description\n5-2500-LA MetPrep 3™ / PH-3™ Glove Box System, \n 115V\nDims: 13" W x 19.5" D x 22" H (330 x 495 x 559 mm)\nWeight: 120 lb.

They are \nmade of aluminum with a hard anodized surface for maximum \ndurability.\nMagnetic platens combine a standard aluminum platen with \na cross-hatched magnetic surface for maximum flatness \nand grip. Only one platen is needed throughout the grinding \nand polishing process, allowing all magnetic system cloths/ \nabrasive discs or ferromagnetic discs to be utilized.\nItem Description\n5-2005\t\n 8" (203 mm)\n5-6010\t\n 10" (254 mm)\nItem Description\n5-2005M\t\n 8" (203 mm)\n5-6010M\t\n 10" (254 mm)\nStandard Platen\nMagnetic Platen\nItem\t\n Diameter\n55-52000 \t\n 8" (203 mm)\n55-52002 \t\n 10" (254 mm)\nDisc Holding Band\nPlain Back SiC Disc\nStandard Platen\nThese durable ferromagnetic support discs combine a PTFE \nsurface with a rigid stainless steel disc. This allows adhesive \nback abrasive discs/polishing cloths to be easily removed \nafter use without any adhesive transfer. The nonslip backing \nkeeps the disc in place even for coarse grinding. \nAdhesive Back SiC Disc\nPTFE Ferromagnetic Support Disc\nMagnetic Platen\nDouble Sided Adhesive Discs (Pk/10)\nItem\t\n Diameter\n52-10005-H\t\n 8" (203 mm)\n52-10003-H\t\n 10" (254 mm)\nDouble sided adhesive discs are adhered to a standard \nplaten and used to secure plain back silicon carbide abrasive \ndiscs. Each provides 25-75 disc pulls depending on grit size, \ncycle time and force.\n\n\nPage 4\n4\nEquipment is subject to change due to \ninnovations/improvements at any time.\nBrochure #: MP3GBP-2024\nDesigned and Manufactured by \nAllied High Tech Products, Inc. \nin the USA\nVisit us online! www.alliedhightech.com\n310.635.2466 Worldwide / 800.675.1118 U.S. & Canada\n•\t\nCerritos, California\n•\t\nNorwalk, California\n•\t\nEdmond, Oklahoma\n
