The OptiPrep™ features a fixed cam-lock interface reference that is parallel to the plane of the platen. Desired sample angles are obtained based on geometric orientation built into the fixture.<br><br>Z-positioning/indexing is displayed on the digital indicator with 1-micron resolution and can be pre-set for unattended operation. Variable speed rotation/limit rotation and oscillation with variable sweep maximize use of the entire abrasive surface. <br><br>Adjustable load control expands its capability to handle a range of small (delicate) to large samples. <br><br>Applications where the OptiPrep™ is used often require custom fixtures. Please contact Allied for assistance with a current fixture or to design and manufacture a fixture for a complete solution.</p>\n                        </div>\n\n                            <div>\n                                <h4>More Views</h4>\n                                <ul>\n                                        <li><a href=\"/files/allied-file-362471d407e7674a5ed38763/Optiprep-2018.jpg\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"></a></li>\n                                                                            <li><a href=\"/files/allied-file-c24efacbc91bc3054b43c7b8/OptiPrep-Head-with-Large-Round-Fixture.jpg\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img src=\"/files/allied-file-c24efacbc91bc3054b43c7b8/OptiPrep-Head-with-Large-Round-Fixture.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"max-height:180px;width:auto\"></a></li>\n                                                                            <li><a href=\"/files/allied-file-1b8c24dbaadf2dda683a57de/CapillariesClose2.jpg\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img src=\"/files/allied-file-1b8c24dbaadf2dda683a57de/CapillariesClose2.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"max-height:180px;width:auto\"></a></li>\n                                                                            <li><a href=\"/files/allied-file-e03a08c2e377f3a8c70c2843/OptiPrep-Hub-with-fixture.jpg\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img src=\"/files/allied-file-e03a08c2e377f3a8c70c2843/OptiPrep-Hub-with-fixture.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"max-height:180px;width:auto\"></a></li>\n                                                                    </ul>\n                            </div>\n                    </div>\n                </header>\n            </div>\n        </div>\n    </div>\n    <div>\n        <div>\n            \n\n\n\n\n\n\n    <div>\n        <h3>Features</h3>\n        <div>\n<h4>Grinder/Polisher</h4>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Variable platen speed: 5-350 RPM, in 5 RPM increments</td>\n<td> </td>\n<td>7\" LCD touchscreen with keypad entry to control all functions</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>¼ HP (190 W) DC motor with durable reduction gearbox provides constant high-torque output</td>\n<td> </td>\n<td>Digital timer and tachometer</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Integrated controls for operation of the OptiPrep™ Positioning Device</td>\n<td> </td>\n<td>Clockwise/counterclockwise platen rotation</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Quick-change platen design, anodized to resist wear and corrosion</td>\n<td> </td>\n<td>Corrosion/impact resistant cover</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Bowl flush to prevent debris build-up</td>\n<td> </td>\n<td>Electronic coolant control with adjustable valve</td>\n</tr>\n</tbody>\n</table>\n</div>\n<p></p>\n<div>\n<h4></h4>\n<h4></h4>\n<h4></h4>\n<h4>OptiPrep Positioning Device</h4>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Front digital indicator displays real-time material removal/sample advancement</td>\n<td> </td>\n<td>Rear digital indicator displays vertical positioning (static) with zeroing function, 1 micron resolution</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Precision spindle design indexes sample perpendicular to the platen, and can rotate simultaneously</td>\n<td> </td>\n<td>Automatic sample oscillation, adjustable sweep with 6 speeds</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Full or limited automatic sample rotation with 8 speeds</td>\n<td> </td>\n<td>Cam-locking system eliminates the need for tools and allows for exact repositioning of fixtures</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Dimensions: 15\" W x 26\" D x 20\" H (381 x 660 x 508 mm)</td>\n<td> </td>\n<td>Weight: 95 lb.
