Xmatic

Fully automatic specimen preparation platform, up to 24 specimens per cycle, redefining the standard for large-scale specimen preparation.

The Xmatic is Struers' most advanced fully automatic specimen preparation system, integrating automatic loading/unloading, grinding, polishing, and cleaning into a single platform. A robotic arm enables fully unattended specimen transfer throughout the process — operators simply set the programme and load the specimen batch, and the system autonomously completes all preparation steps. Its high-throughput design (24 specimens per cycle) and 24-hour unattended operation capability significantly reduce labour costs while ensuring absolute batch-to-batch consistency.

Key Features

  • Up to 24 specimens per cycle — fully automated throughout
  • Robotic arm automatic loading/unloading — zero manual intervention
  • Integrated grinding, polishing, and ultrasonic cleaning in one system
  • 100+ storable preparation programmes with instant switching
  • Supports 24-hour unattended continuous operation
  • Real-time monitoring — automatic alarm and shutdown protection on anomaly
