(Buehler: Lake Bluff, IL) -- Buehler, a global manufacturer of scientific equipment and supplies for material preparation and analysis, has introduced its EcoMet 250/300 Pro grinder-polisher with AutoMet 250/300 power head.

New capabilities include the ability to store and recall 32 methods via touch-screen controls, a Zaxis (Z-axis) function that removes material by depth instead of time, and platen and power-head speeds that adjust in 10 rpm increments.

The EcoMet 250/300 Pro/AutoMet 250/300 semiautomatic system, with its programmable and adjustable functions, increases consistency and repeatability, ensures better flatness, and enables method optimization compared to manual grinding. The optional PriMet Pro modular dispensing satellite uses peristaltic pumps, not mist technology, to distribute lubricant, diamond, alumina, and colloidal polishing suspensions. Controlled dispensing offers repeatable results regardless of the operator, and it can lower consumable costs by preventing overuse.

Buehler also offers the EcoMet in a nonprogrammable version with push-button controls and digital readouts.
