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
An external handwheel drives bevel gears and a lead screw to move the lower mould within the steel sleeve. The specimen and thermosetting plastic are formed under heat, while an internal spring compensates the mounting pressure and an indicator lamp shows the pressure condition. The machine includes a digital temperature controller, thermocouple, time setting and buzzer. Mounted specimens can then be ground, polished and examined microscopically.
