Working principle
How mounting works
The specimen sits in a mould; resin flows and cures under heat and pressure, encasing thin or irregular parts and their edges in a regular cylinder for grinding.
- Hot or cold per material
- Vacuum impregnation
- Edge support
Product overview
Specimens are placed in UV-transparent mounting moulds and surrounded with a suitable UV-curing resin. The GX-40 uses an LED-based illumination system to cure the resin and form a transparent mount. A cooling arrangement is incorporated for the curing and cooling process. This provides a light-curing route for preparing mounted metallographic specimens for subsequent handling and examination.
