Product overview
Mounting small, hard-to-handle or irregular metallographic and petrographic specimens facilitates subsequent grinding and polishing, enables correct observation of material microstructure under the metallographic microscope and reliable hardness testing.

Equipment features

• Innovative integrated heating and cooling design reduces mounting cycle to approximately 6 minutes, improving productivity.
• Pressure-retention circuit expels residual air from the material to produce uniformly textured mounts and prevent air bubbles, ensuring smooth specimen surfaces.
• Safety fixture prevents the upper cover from popping open during specimen removal, reducing injury risk.
• Programmable control system with nine user-definable preparation programs to meet varied mounting requirements.
• ABS housing with refined color scheme and ergonomic design for improved user experience.
• Single workstation capable of mounting two specimens simultaneously with consistent results.
• Large capacitive touchscreen with high display performance for intuitive operation.
