Ilion III System
Designed to deliver consistent, high‑quality cross‑section milling for a broad range of materials found in industrial laboratory environments.

Advantages
The Ilion® III broad beam argon milling system is a tabletop tool designed to deliver consistent, high‑quality cross‑section milling for a broad range of materials found in industrial laboratory environments. It enables efficient preparation of complex, heterogeneous, and fragile samples while preserving true microstructural detail.
High‑quality cross‑section milling
Produces clean, damage‑free cross‑sections across a wide range of materials, including difficult and multiphase samples.
High‑throughput material removal
Accelerates access to depth with milling rates of up to 800 μm/h, reducing time to analysis.
Wide energy range (0.1 – 10 kV)
Enables rapid high‑energy milling for efficient preparation and low‑energy operation for smooth, low‑damage surfaces.
Reveals more structural detail
±45° high‑angle sector milling provides a broader analysis area with reduced curtaining, exposing more structural information.
Controllable, predictable results
Real‑time process visibility allows users to monitor milling progress and adjust with confidence.
