Grinding and polishing are key steps in the preparation of a metallographic sample. It is the quality of these steps which will condition and optimise the rest of the process.

At the end of the grinding step, the sample’s aspect must be uniform and regular without altering the inherent flatness and the material.

The CAMEO^®DISK’s performances in terms of stock removal reduce the work time on the part, thereby guaranteeing the sample’s inherent flatness, an indispensable condition to succeed with your metallographic analyse.

A patented honeycomb cell structure

Stock removal

The CAMEO^®DISK honeycomb cell structure allows decreasing the surface in contact with the sample to be polished. The pressure required to grind the sample is much less than that generally applied during the use of a solid disc. The equipment is less stressed and the risks of tearing out the grinding disc are significantly reduced.

Reproducibility

The profile of the honeycomb cells was specially designed to optimise the circulation of the lubricant from one cavity to another.

The abrasion residues are evacuated, guaranteeing a constant abrasive power and therefore a regularity of the result throughout the grinding and polishing steps.

Preparation quality

For a process usually performed with several SiC abrasive papers, LAM PLAN proposes you a single, reusable disc: the CAMEO®DISK. Contrary to SiC abrasive papers, CAMEO®DISK constant abrasion prevents the formation of deep disturbed layers during the first few seconds of grinding.

The CAMEO^®DISK Platinium are diamond discs (fixed abrasive) which are ideal for a rapid grinding of metallographic samples.

The use of diamond integrated in the CAMEO®DISK Platinium honeycomb cell structure allows preserving a constant stock removal throughout the operation, which prevents the appearance of edge drops, including on samples of heterogeneous hardnesses.

The CAMEO^®DISK Silver & Gold discs are non-diamond grinding discs developed to be used with Bio DIAMANT^® abrasive products (free abrasives.) Combined with the latest products of the Bio DIAMANT^® range, the NEODIA^® diamond abrasives will allow treating all types of materials.

The patented CAMEO^®DISK honeycomb structure allows the uniform distribution of the periodically pulverised diamond abrasive suspension.

The use of the abrasive suspension is optimised, thereby reducing the diamond product’s consumption.

CAMEO^®DISK are available in magnetic or self-adhesive versions and can be associated with the various LAM PLAN fixing accessories.
