Automatic Hot Mounting Presses
After cutting the specimen, the next step is mounting. The aim of mounting is to handle small or odd shaped specimens and to protect fragile materials, thin layers or coating during preparation as well as to provide good edge retention. Mounting produces specimens with uniform size so that it is easier to handle in automatic holders for further preparation steps. In hot mounting, the specimen is mounted under heat and pressure with a hot mounting press.
All ECOPRESS models have electrohydraulic operation which does not require air. The sample is ejected fast and very smoothly. All hydraulic components are housed in a GRP glass reinforced plastic cabinet which is ergonomically designed.
ECOPRESS 102/202 have pre-programmed moulding sequences built-in (factory set) from which you can choose according to your own applications. You only need to place the sample in the mould, select the program number for your specific application and depress the “Start” button. That’s it! ECOPRESS does the rest for you! After pressing the start key, the fully automatic program sequence is executed with the preselected parameters. The pressure, heating and cooling are automatically controlled and the total cycle time of a complete cool mount takes 7 to 9 minutes. The parameters can be changed and adjusted during the mounting process.
ECOPRESS 102/202 have additional capacity to store up to 99 operator-created programs. User-friendly program data and instructions are displayed on a large touch screen LCD.
ECOPRESS 52 is a cost effective automatic digital mounting press with hydraulic pressure (requires no air). It is fully automatic and suitable for all current hot mounting materials used in materialography. User friendly touch - pad controls for mounting parameters provides high productivity with last parameter settings being retained in the memory.
