AD-PB Plate GHX-GRP-CON-GRD-DIA-010

Product Short Description The GHX-GRP-CON-GRD-DIA-010 AD-PB Plate is a reusable transfer platen system engineered specifically for plain-back (non-adhesive) abrasive discs and diamond grinding foils. Its specialized surface provides secure, uniform holding during high-speed grinding and polishing while allowing complete, clean removal of consumables with a simple water rinse—no scraping, no solvents, and no residue left behind. Available in 200 mm, 250 mm, and 300 mm diameters, this plate eliminates adhesive buildup on original platens, reduces cleaning time, and extends the life of expensive grinder components, making it an essential upgrade for laboratories using plain-back SiC papers, diamond foils, or other non-PSA abrasives.

Specifications

Key Applications & Uses

• Secure mounting and clean removal of plain-back SiC abrasive papers and diamond grinding foils during multi-step metallographic preparation
• High-throughput grinding workflows requiring frequent abrasive changes (e.g., coarse plane grinding → fine grinding → pre-polish)
• Protection of original grinder platens from embedded abrasive particles, scratches, and wear when using non-adhesive consumables
• Preparation of metallographic, petrographic, ceramic, composite, and hard material samples where uniform pressure and flatness are critical
• Batch processing in automotive, aerospace, steel, electronics, and materials testing laboratories aiming to minimize downtime and maintenance
• Supporting university research, failure analysis, quality control, and industrial labs that prefer economical plain-back abrasives but want residue-free, fast changeover

Why Choose from G-Hexa?

• Completely Residue-Free — Specially designed transfer surface allows plain-back abrasives to be removed cleanly with just a water rinse — no scraping, no adhesive residue, no damage to platens.
• Faster Consumable Changes — Dramatically cuts time spent removing old discs and cleaning platens — ideal for labs running frequent grit progressions or high sample volumes.
• Extended Platen Longevity — Prevents permanent embedding of abrasive particles or mechanical wear on expensive grinder platens, saving significant replacement costs over time.
• Optimized for Plain-Back Abrasives — Provides rock-solid, uniform hold for non-PSA SiC papers and diamond foils during operation, then effortless release afterward.
• Perfect Size Compatibility — Available in standard 200/250/300 mm diameters to fit virtually all metallographic grinders/polishers, including G-Hexa systems.
• G-Hexa Ecosystem Integration — Works seamlessly with G-Hexa plain-back SiC papers, diamond foils, and full metallographic lineup; fast delivery across India, competitive pricing, and expert support for researchers, universities, pharma, biotech, and industrial labs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: What consumables is the AD-PB Plate designed for? A: It is optimized for plain-back (non-PSA) abrasive discs — especially SiC grinding papers and diamond grinding foils (e.g., GHX-GRP-CON-GRD-DIA-001, GHX-GRP-CON-GRD-DIA-005, GHX-GRP-CON-GRD-DIA-006, GHX-GRP-CON-GRD-DIA-007).

Q: How is it different from the AD-PSA Plate? A: The AD-PSA Plate is for PSA-backed (self-adhesive) consumables. The AD-PB Plate is specifically for plain-back abrasives that normally require clamping rings — it provides secure hold without rings and clean removal with only water.

Q: Does the plate require any special maintenance? A: No — simply rinse with water after use to remove any abrasive debris. The transfer surface refreshes itself with each rinse and lasts hundreds to thousands of cycles.

Q: Can I use clamping rings with the AD-PB Plate? A: Not necessary — the plate’s surface provides strong, uniform holding for plain-back discs. Clamping rings are optional if you prefer extra security for very heavy loads.

Q: Is the AD-PB Plate compatible with automatic grinders? A: Yes — it mounts like any standard platen (magnetic or clamp) and maintains perfect balance and flatness under central or individual force loading at high speeds.

Q: How do I clean the plate if some particles stick? A: Rinse thoroughly with water (or wipe with a damp cloth). For stubborn debris, use mild soap and water — never use abrasive pads or harsh chemicals that could damage the surface.

Q: Does it come with installation instructions? A: Yes — each plate includes simple guidance. It attaches to your grinder the same way as a standard platen — no tools or adapters required.
