To verify end-face flatness over time, the most practical approach is to combine a consistent grinding recipe with periodic flatness checks, then use wheel-life and usage tracking to spot drift before it affects your rock mechanics results.

If your workflow requires on-machine verification, an optional surface flatness control package (0.01 degree) can be added, with flatness checked via the touchscreen when the optional device is installed.

For ongoing control, labs typically build a simple check routine around:

• Running periodic confirmation checks on representative specimens and comparing results shift to shift
• Reviewing process memory and tracking totals, alongside diamond grinding blade life monitoring, to time wheel changes before end condition degrades
• Verifying the pneumatic sample locking is holding cores consistently and recipes are being applied correctly
