Superior quality hot and cold mounting systems for every application.

Choosing the right mounting method depends on several factors.

Hot compression mounting is the most economical option on a per mount cost basis, however due to the compression force, may not be an option for samples with delicate structures unable to withstand the elements of heat and/or force of compression.
Cold mounting (where a mixture of resin is poured into a mold) may benefit from either vacuum (epoxy only) or pressurization to help eliminate and/or reduce bubbles, improving clarity and sample protection.

TechPress 3x™

Hot Mounting

This mounting method is chosen mostly for high volume output where the cost per mold is much lower than with cold resins. Typical output is two (2) mounts in about 8-10 minutes per cycle. Used for hot compression mounting powders.

VacuPrep™

Cold Mounting

The VacuPrep™ vacuum impregnation system is used to remove bubbles from epoxy resins, filling open pores and cavities in samples to provide maximum bonding and support. It is available in a standard model or a turntable model.

PC-200

Cold Mounting

This pressure chamber is used to suppress the formation of bubbles when mounting with either epoxy or acrylic resins. This pressure chamber accommodates oversized silicone mounting cups, a large quantity of round cups, or multiple PCB molds.

BL-100

Cold Mounting

The BL-100 is a blue-light chamber designed to cure BL-Cure and other UV/light-curing resins. It features a sliding drawer with a 5 × 5 in (125 × 125 mm) glass platform, accommodating molds up to 2.5 in (63 mm) in size for efficient curing.

Extraction Press

Cold Mounting

The Mount Extraction Press is used to help push out cured resin mounts from either 2-part or PCB mold cups. It features a large, stable base with a linear slide mechanism that is operated by hand to easily push the cured resin mold from the mounting cup.
