Increase specimen production and consistency by adding an AutoMet® 2000 or 3000 to any
EcoMet® base unit converting them into a central force semi-automatic preparation system.
Both AutoMet’s are microprocessor controlled using a systems approach, important for
productivity and reproducibilty. The front facia panels feature a LED display, controlling such
variables as time, force, head direction, platen speed and fluid dispensing. The AutoMet® 3000
moves to the next level of automation by adding nonvolatile 99 method memory with 9 steps
per method programmability. Specimen holders sold separately. CE marked.

PowerPro® 5000 Variable Speed Specimen Preparation System
, is a high performance
system with Central and Single force application options, accepts both 10
″
(254mm) and 12
″
(305mm) platens, semi-automatic, with a powerful 2 Hp (1500Watt) motor. The system is pro-
grammable via an LCD with 25 proven Buehler Sum-Met
™
methods for a variety of materials,
plus available programming space for 25 modified Buehler methods or 25 user methods. This
technically advanced system is the first tabletop machine of its kind to prepare specimens
using the Zaxis
™
Macro Material Removal System, available with the PowerPro Series. Zaxis is a
unique feature that allows the operator to remove material by desired depth. Conventional
time-based methodology is available. Additional features include automatic force calculation
based on number of specimens and specimen size. Dual head speeds and variable base speeds
are all standard on all PowerPro Systems. CE marked.
