LaboForce-3
Instruction Manual
LaboForce-3 is made for mounting on Struers grinding/polishing
machines, LaboPol-1, -2, -4, -5, -6, -21 or -25.
 Remove the plastic lid from the pre-punched hole for the
LaboForce-3 column. Turn the LaboPol machine onto its left-
hand side.
 Lead the LaboForce-3 column through the hole. Mount the nut
and tighten loosely using a 24 mm spanner.
 Raise the LaboPol to its upright position.
 Unlock LaboForce-3 and let it move to the upright position.
 Place the specimen mover plate on the three columns and
secure it with three screws. Use the enclosed 2.5 mm Allen key.
 Go to paragraph 'Adjusting the Specimen Mover Position'.
 Remove the plastic lid from the pre-punched hole for the
LaboForce column. Move the LaboPol to the left so that the
part of the machine where LaboForce-3 is to be mounted is free
of the table.
 Lead the LaboForce-3 column through the hole. Mount the nut
and tighten loosely using a 24 mm spanner.
 Move the LaboPol back onto the table.
 Unlock LaboForce-3 and let it move to the upright position.
 Place the specimen mover plate on the three columns and
secure it with three screws. Use the enclosed 2.5 mm Allen key.
 Go to paragraph 'Adjusting the Specimen Mover Position'.
To ensure that LaboForce-3 works correctly you need to adjust the
distance between the specimen mover plate and the preparation
disc of your grinding/polishing machine.
 Place a ø200 mm preparation disc on the grinding/polishing
machine.
The distance between the specimen mover plate and the
preparation disc should be about 2 - 2.5 mm. If the distance is
too small, you must:
Remove LaboForce-3 from the grinding/polishing machine.
−
Attach 1 or more additional washers (1-3 mm). Grease the
−
washers and fasten them under the column, using the
grease as an adhesive.
Mount LaboForce-3 in its hole again and tighten the nut
−
loosely.
Repeat the above procedure until the correct distance is
−
achieved.
