Hot mounting press ixiang®6S

automaticpneumaticfor metallographic samples

Product overview
Mounting small, hard-to-handle or irregular metallographic and petrographic specimens to facilitate subsequent grinding and polishing, enable accurate observation under a metallographic microscope and reliable hardness testing.

Key features

• Integrated heating and water-cooling design reduces mounting cycle to approximately 6 minutes, increasing throughput.
• Pressure-retention circuit removes residual air to prevent bubbles and ensure uniform specimen texture.
• Safety fixture prevents the upper cover from popping open during specimen removal.
• Programmable control with nine user-definable preparation programs.
• Compact ABS housing with modern appearance for improved ergonomics compared with traditional bulky units.
• Dual workstations allow simultaneous mounting of two specimens with consistent results.
• Large capacitive touchscreen for intuitive control and monitoring.
