HXQ50 Automatic Hot Mounting Press for Metallographic Samples with 200ºC Max Temperature and 2.3 Ton Pressing Force
The HXQ50 is engineered to facilitate the preparation of metallographic and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) samples by encapsulating them into durable round mounts. This process involves heating and pressing the sample with mounting media to produce a stable, easy-to-handle disc suitable for subsequent analysis. The press accommodates sample diameters up to 50 mm, making it versatile for a range of laboratory applications.
Operation is controlled via a 5-inch touchscreen digital panel that allows precise adjustment of temperature (100 to 200ºC), pressing force, and dwell time (1 to 999 minutes). The hydraulic system delivers a pressing force up to approximately 2.3 metric tons, depending on the die size used. Four sets of mounting dies are included, supporting sample diameters of 25, 30, 40, and 50 mm, each comprising a die sleeve, upper and lower pressing rods, and a separating plate.

대표적인 적용 분야
The HXQ50 is ideal for preparing metallographic samples by embedding them in mounting media for microstructural analysis. It is also suitable for SEM sample preparation where stable mounting is required for imaging and analysis. The press supports various sample sizes with interchangeable dies, enabling flexible use across materials research, quality control, and failure analysis laboratories.
구성 및 작동 안내
The press includes four sets of mounting dies for different sample diameters. Each set contains a die sleeve, upper and lower pressing rods, and a separating plate. Users must supply a cooling water system to protect the pressing dies during operation; a recirculating pump is recommended. Compression mounting powder in various colors is available separately as an optional consumable. For operation on 110VAC power, a 1500W voltage transformer must be ordered. Proper safety precautions should be observed when handling hot components and hydraulic pressure.
