Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a vibration polishing device, comprising: a vibration drive for generating an oscillating vibration for polishing samples; a polishing disc which is connected to and can be driven by the vibration drive; and a polishing bowl which is designed to receive a polishing medium and the samples to be polished and is coupled to the polishing disc; wherein the coupling between the polishing bowl and the polishing disc is accomplished by a quick-type coupling for transferring the oscillating vibrations from the polishing disc to the polishing bowl when the vibration polishing device is in operation and thereby to move the sample to be polished in the polishing bowl.
Claims22
A vibration polishing device, comprising:
- a vibration drive for generating an oscillating vibration for polishing samples;
- at least one sample holder configured to hold a sample to be polished;
- a polishing disc which is connected to and driven by the vibration drive;
- and
- a polishing bowl which is designed to receive a polishing medium and the at least one sample holder with a sample to be polished and is coupled to the polishing disc for being entrained therewith;
- wherein the polishing bowl is releasably attached to the polishing disc and wherein the releasable attachment is accomplished by magnetic adhesion force;
- and wherein the polishing bowl has a flat bottom surface having a diameter that is greater than a height of the polishing bowl so that an underside of the sample is polished by relative movement between the flat bottom surface of the polishing bowl and the at least one sample holder;
- and
- wherein the polishing medium comprises a polishing cloth as a carrier material for a polishing agent suspension, and wherein the polishing cloth is releasably secured to the flat bottom surface of the polishing bowl.
A vibration polishing device, comprising:
- a vibration drive for generating an oscillating vibration for polishing samples;
- at least one sample holder configured to hold a sample to be polished;
- a polishing disc which is connected to and driven by the vibration drive;
- a polishing bowl which is designed to receive a polishing medium comprising a polishing cloth and the at least one sample holder with a sample to be polished and is coupled to the polishing disc for being entrained therewith, wherein the polishing bowl is releasably attached to the polishing disc and wherein the releasable attachment is accomplished by a magnetic adhesion force;
- and
- wherein the polishing bowl has a planar bottom surface, said planar bottom surface receiving the at least one sample holder with a sample with its underside thereon, and wherein the oscillating vibration is configured to cause the at least one sample holder to slide on the planar bottom surface and on the polishing cloth, which is releasably secured to the planar bottom surface within the polishing bowl, resulting in polishing of the sample on its underside.
