This system is used to grind and finish rock core ends as a standardized sample preparation step before laboratory rock mechanics and geotechnical testing.

In a typical workflow, cores are recovered and cut or trimmed to length, then the specimen ends are ground so they are ready for downstream tests such as compressive strength and deformation measurements. Consistent end preparation helps reduce variability tied to manual technique and supports more repeatable results across operators and shifts.

CoreGrind 3000 is designed to make that step consistent by running the grinding cycle under electronic control through a 7-inch touchscreen, securing specimens with a pneumatic locking system, and using recipe-based programs for repeat jobs. It also supports wet grinding with a recirculating water spray for dust control, process memory and tracking, and diamond grinding blade life monitoring.
