Types of Mounting Press

The mounting presses produced by our company mainly include the following types:

Manual Mounting Press
Manual Mounting Press is a laboratory device, often hand-operated via a handwheel or lever, that uses heat and pressure to embed small, irregular material samples (metals, ceramics) in a thermosetting resin (like Bakelite) to create a solid, polished puck for microscopy analysis, ensuring uniform surfaces for grinding and polishing.

Automatic Mounting Press
Automatic Mounting Press is a laboratory device that encapsulates small or irregularly shaped samples (like metals, ceramics) in a uniform, protective resin block for metallographic analysis, automating the process with programmable parameters for heat, pressure, and time, ensuring consistent results, reducing human error, and freeing up operators for other tasks.

Key Features of Mounting Press

01/

Programmable controls
The intuitive touchscreen interfaces give you a clear view of what you’re working with. Programmes and instructions at your fingertips, when working with today’s presses. High-end models allow you to kickstart a programme with a single key and fill in the blanks with preset settings for pressure, heating and cooling.

02/

Cooling modes
You now have three different cooling options at your disposal. Standard, Slow and Based on Time, each specifically designed to work with different types of resin, when mounting with the latest presses. Standard cooling utilises water circulation through the cooling system and knocks down the print times to just 5-7 minutes per mount, Slow is basically tailored to thermoplastic resins as they require a bit longer to cure, giving crystal clear results.

03/

Safety mechanisms
The core team puts safety first in modern mounting press design. The presses use insulated mould closure systems to protect users from burns. Some models have built-in exhaust devices that keep operators safe from fine dust while filling resin. Strong bayonet mould closure systems make the process safer and eliminate the need to clean cylinder threads before closing.

04/

Mould size flexibility
Advanced mounting presses stand out because they work with different specimen sizes. These systems take multiple mould sizes, usually between 25 mm and 50 mm in diameter. Labs can process various specimen sizes without buying several machines. Quick mould exchange systems with dovetail connections for lower rams work without mechanical fastening.

Applications of Mounting Press

Quality control: The mounting press is used in manufacturing and production processes to ensure the quality of materials and products.

Research and development: The mounting press is essential in research and development for analyzing the microstructure of materials.

Failure analysis: The mounting press is used to investigate the cause of failure in materials and products.

Education: The mounting press is used in education to teach students about material science and microscopy analysis.

Operating Procedures for Mounting Press

Sample Preparation

The first step in the process is to prepare the sample for embedding. The sample must be cleaned, dried, and polished before being placed in the mold assembly.

Resin Preparation

The next step is to prepare the resin for embedding. The resin is heated to its melting point, usually between 100°C and 200°C, in the heating unit. Once the resin has melted, it is poured into the mold assembly.

Sample Embedding

The sample is carefully placed in the mold assembly, and the pressure unit is activated. The pressure unit applies force to the sample and resin, ensuring that the sample is evenly embedded within the resin.

Cooling

Once the sample is embedded in the resin, the cooling unit is activated, which cools down the resin and solidifies it around the sample. The cooling process typically takes between 5 and 15 minutes, depending on the resin used.

Sample Removal

After the resin has solidified, the mold assembly is opened, and the sample is removed. The sample is now ready for cutting, grinding, and polishing.

FAQ

Q: What is the primary purpose of a mounting press in material analysis?

A: A mounting press is used to encapsulate material samples in resin, creating uniform mounts that protect specimens and provide a stable platform for metallographic analysis. This process is crucial for maintaining sample integrity during preparation and examination.

Q: How does a hot mounting press differ from cold mounting methods?

A: Hot mounting presses apply both heat (around 180°C) and pressure (about 250 bar) to embed specimens in thermosetting resins. This technique offers better edge retention and is particularly valuable for hard materials and applications requiring precise microstructural examination.

Q: What are the key benefits of using a mounting press in material preparation?

A: Mounting presses protect fragile specimens, improve edge retention, create standardised sample formats, and enhance the overall quality of microstructural analysis. They also increase laboratory efficiency by allowing for semi or fully automated grinding and polishing processes.

Q: What cooling options are available in modern mounting presses?

A: Modern mounting presses typically offer three cooling modes: standard (water-based), slow, and time-based. These options allow users to balance productivity with mount quality, catering to different resin types and specific application requirements.

Q: Are there any safety features incorporated in contemporary mounting presses?

A: Yes, modern mounting presses prioritise operator safety. They often include insulated mould closure systems, integrated exhaust devices to prevent dust inhalation, and robust bayonet mould closure systems. Some models also feature sliding closures with suction nozzles to maintain cleanliness and safety during operation.

Q: What are the parts of a mounting press?

A: A typical mounting press machine consists of several components, including a heating unit, a cooling unit, a pressure unit, and a mold assembly.
