C. Description :

The mounting press is a mechanical type machine. By turning the hand-wheel of the machine, a couple of bevel gear is rotated to drive the screw rod which in turn pushes/pulls the lower die up and down along the mould sleeve. The thermo set plastics together with specimen being mounted is formed under heated conditions. During this process the pressure is self adjusted by a spring fixed inside the machine. A signal light is used to indicate the pressure level The mounting press is equipped with a digit temperature controller to establish real-time temperature meanwhile, a timer is equipped to realize the semi-automation of sample – making while obviously increasing working efficiency. For each specimen-mounting, 8-10 minutes is enough and a mirror-like specimen can be acquired.
