What it is

The Logitech WG6 is a polishing system for lapping and polishing applications. The WG6 polishing system comprises a PM6 or LP70 precision polishing machine and a WG6 polishing head.[1]

How it works

The WG6 uses a polishing head mounted on a precision polishing machine to process specimens on a rotating plate. The system supports variable speed, carousel speed, and rotational direction.[1]

The WG6 can process up to six samples at one time, or individual samples, using different sample holders. The WG6 can also be used on an LP70 system with two WG6 polishing heads for processing up to twelve specimens at one time.[1]

Where it fits in the process flow

The WG6 fits in the sample-preparation flow before inspection or microscopy. The system is used to produce finished samples with high reflectivity, low relief, ultra-flat surfaces, or minimal edge roll-off.[1]

Applications

The WG6 supports specimen holding for batch processing or individual processing. The system uses corrosion-resistant materials, a low-voltage DC motor, auto-detection by the PM6 or LP70 system, and incremental loads up to 1.4 kg on each drive rod.[1]

  • Geological sciences
  • Thin section preparation
  • Mineralogy
