TechPress 3x™
Automatic Mounting Press
Hot Mounting
A programmable mounting press used to encapsulate samples for metallographic preperation
The TechPress 3x™, Electro-Hydraulic Automatic Mounting Press is used to encapsulate samples for metallographic preparation.
The microprocessor-based system allows the operator to use either manual input or a preloaded database of 80 adjustable programs, which include parameters for mold size, single mount or duplexing, mounting resin, curing time and temperature, cooling time and pressure.
It features an intuitive interface using a 7″ color LCD touchscreen to control all functions, and is selectable between 10 languages. Mold assemblies can be changed from 25 mm through 2″, and include a duplexing spacer, allowing two mounts per cycle to be produced at one time.
Durable: Engineered and constructed using precision machined aluminum and stainless steel components to provide maximum longevity.
Easy to use: Easy to Use: User-friendly functions allow quick, easy, repeatable operation.
Safe: A safety sensor requires full closure of the bayonet cap before cycle start to ensure operator protection.

The TechPress 3x™ has a number of accessories to increase performance, including a recirculating coolant system and interchangeable Mold/Heater Assemblies that accommodate sample sizes from 25 mm through 2 inch, with a duplexing spacer allowing up to two mounts per cycle.
Hot/Compression Resins
Resins are available in different types, phenolic, epoxy, diallyl phthalate, acrylic and conductive (EM). Generally, these are the most economical choice to meet the demands of high-volume mounting environments for samples that can withstand the compression and heat from the mounting process.
