The modular and flexible system
The Tegra family
With the TegraSystem you can choose between 2 grinding and
polishing machines, 1 specimen mover and 2 dosing systems.
The machines can be combined in several ways to suit your
specific needs.
Reproducibility is the key
In all materialographic specimen preparation, being able to
reproduce preparation results that are exactly the same every
time is crucial to success. Many factors have an influence on
your ability to achieve the necessary reproducibility, and many
of these can be controlled by employing automated prepara-
tion equipment like the TegraSystem.
Ensuring reproducibility and efficiency
Your workload and need for flexibility should determine the
size of your TegraSystem. However, no matter how many or
few specimens you need to prepare, the investment in a Tegra-
Force specimen mover will be beneficial. The operator avoids
the often tedious manual preparation tasks, and since the Te-
graForce specimen mover controls the force applied precisely,
specimens are prepared exactly the same way every
time, independent of operator skills. For labs with many
specimens, specimen movers are the only way to ensure
cost-effectiveness since several specimens can be prepared
simultaneously.
Adding a TegraDoser-5 dosing system further improves repro-
ducibility, efficiency and cost-effectiveness. With the ability
to store and recall preparation methods, this dosing system
yields exactly the same preparation results every time the
preparation procedure is performed.
The high level of automation also allows for unattended
preparation, thus improving the lab efficiency by giving the
operator free time for other tasks. Cost-effectiveness is further
increased by automating and controlling consumable con-
sumption.
The innovative approach
The modular concept lets your TegraSystem grow and develop
with your needs and challenges. For the lab with few speci-
mens or repetitive preparation of the same material every day,
the TegraDoser-1 is an innovative approach to automated
preparation.
TegraDoser-1 is a single dosing unit, which is attached directly
onto the TegraForce specimen mover. The dosing unit not only
controls the dosing of diamond suspension or lubricant pre-
cisely, but also controls the preparation parameters for that
specific preparation step.

With 2-3 TegraDoser-1 units it is possible to run an entire
preparation method simply by exchanging the dosing unit.
Reproducibility is ensured since the preparation parameters
are exactly the same every time. The necessary investment is
low in relation to the benefits achieved.
Combined with the all-in-one diamond suspensions from
Struers, this solution allows for unattended preparation and
ensures high quality and cost-effective preparation results.
As you will see on the following pages, the TegraSystem holds
unique advantages for fast, efficient and cost-effective grinding
and polishing in a safe and healthy working environment.
