Hot mounting press QPRESS 50

for metallographic samplesautomaticwater-cooled

The hot mounting press Qpress 50 is a modular machine used in metallography for the fast, simultaneous and independent mounting of different materialographic specimens. The modularity of the Qpress 50 allows adjusting the machine configuration for varying sample sizes and throughputs, depending on customer requirements. The base unit of the hot mounting press contains control interface and one mold assembly. It is available in 2 versions: Opress 50-2: can be equipped with one additional pressing station (total up to 2) Opress 50-4: can be equipped with up to three additional pressing stations (total up to 4) The pressing stations are separated from the base unit and may be added later. Thus, it is possible to generate samples of up to 2 (Opress 50-2) respectively 4 (Opress 50-4) different diameters simultaneously in one device, making metallographic sample preparation flexible and fast. The diameter of the pressing station - each with or without chamfer - can be selected between 25.2 mm, 30 mm, 1¼" (~32 mm), 1½" (~38 mm), 40 mm and 50 mm. The integrated dust extractor Dust Guard of the hot mounting press protects the operator from inhaling fine dust, which is released when filling the mold with mounting material. The external vacuum cleaner is controlled via the base unit's control interface.
