For routine flat tensile sample machining, a longitudinal polisher is usually not the next required step. This system is built to prepare precise flat tensile and impact specimens in-house with repeatable geometry, so the MICRO itself is already aimed at producing test-ready samples.

That said, a separate polisher like NG-AutoPol makes sense when your method calls for a low-stress longitudinal surface finish after turning or milling, especially for tighter tensile or fatigue-focused workflows. In other words, it depends on the specimen type, the surface finish your method requires, and whether you need polishing beyond the machining step.

If you want to confirm whether your flat tensile workflow should stay with the MICRO alone or add polishing, learn more or request a quote. A quick note on your material, specimen geometry, and test method will point you to the right setup.
