You use this system after the core has been recovered and cut to length, and before you run rock mechanics or geotechnical tests, to grind and finish the ends as a controlled sample preparation step.

In a typical workflow, core cutting or trimming establishes the specimen length, then end grinding brings the end condition under tighter control for downstream measurements like strength and deformation. Doing this step consistently helps reduce test-to-test scatter caused by manual grinding technique.

In day-to-day use, the sequence is straightforward:

• Load the core and secure it with the pneumatic sample locking system
• Select a saved recipe or set parameters on the 7-inch touchscreen
• Run the automatic grinding cycle with recirculating water spray for dust control, with process tracking and diamond blade life monitoring supporting routine lab control
