Cold Mounting Equipment
Additional equipment for cold mounting can include vacuum degassers, mixers, dispensers, and metering or measuring devices. In some applications, a vacuum degasser is used to remove entrapped air from the resin or sample to avoid the formation of air bubble around the sample. The void formed from the air bubble would hinder sample grinding and polishing because coarser grit abrasive will collect in the pocket.
Compression / Hot Mounting Press
Compression or hot mounting presses are used to form and cure compression mounting compound around a sample. The pressure and heat applied is typically not a problem with hot mounting system via wikipediamost metal alloy, ceramic, glass or inorganic samples. The compression mounting resins are typically powdered or granular forms of thermoset resins such as diallyl phthalates, phenolics, melamines and epoxies. Some thermoplastic resins such as acrylics are used to form a clear mount around the sample, which may be useful if a specific part of the sample needs to examined. The clear resin allows the materialographer or metallographer to grind and polish down to the plane or point of interest in the sample.
Embedding Equipment
Embedding equipment is typically used for preparation and embedding of biological samples such as bone, tissue, plants or other organic matter from living or expired organisms.
Pellet Presses
Pellet presses or briquetting presses are used to prepare samples for spectroscopy or chemical analysis in a spectrometer. Potassium bromide (br) powder is used to make fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ftir) pellets. X-ray fluorescence ( xrf) samples are prepared by mixing the powdered sample with 1 to 3 weight percent of boric acid or a proprietary grinding or briquetting additive.
Melter / Dispenser
Melter or dispenser are used to melter can include pouring pots, hot plates or heated dispensers. The melted adhesive, wax, blocking resin or mounting compound is poured around a sample or used to bond a sample to holder, which allow a larger sample to be sectioned to produce a sample small enough for mounting or microscopy analysis.
The working of a mounting press machine involves several steps, as outlined below:
Step 1: Sample Preparation
The first step in the process is to prepare the sample for embedding. The sample must be cleaned, dried, and polished before being placed in the mold assembly.
Step 2: Resin Preparation
The next step is to prepare the resin for embedding. The resin is heated to its melting point, usually between 100°c and 200°c, in the heating unit. Once the resin has melted, it is poured into the mold assembly.
Step 3: Sample Embedding
The sample is carefully placed in the mold assembly, and the pressure unit is activated. The pressure unit applies force to the sample and resin, ensuring that the sample is evenly embedded within the resin.
Step 4: Cooling
Once the sample is embedded in the resin, the cooling unit is activated, which cools down the resin and solidifies it around the sample. The cooling process typically takes between 5 and 15 minutes, depending on the resin used.
Step 5: Sample Removal
After the resin has solidified, the mold assembly is opened, and the sample is removed. The sample is now ready for cutting, grinding, and polishing.
A mounting press machine is a vital tool in the manufacturing industry, used for creating high-quality samples for microscopic examination. The machine applies heat and pressure to embed the sample in a plastic resin material, making it easier to cut, grind, and polish. Understanding the working of a mounting press machine and the different components involved is crucial in ensuring the quality of the samples produced.

How to Install the Mounting Press
Turn on the power of the imported chip placement machine, and then make relevant preparations. It is necessary to check whether there is bakelite powder on the edges of the upper and lower components and clean them in time (you can use a saw blade to clean them, do not use excessive force to avoid scratching the components).
If the temperature rises to the set temperature (usually 130~140℃), subsequent operations can be started.
Adjust the handwheel so that the lower mold is parallel to the lower platform; then place the specimen with the observation surface facing down in the center of the lower mold, and turn the handwheel counterclockwise for 10 to 12 turns to make the lower mold and the sample sink (sample height generally it should not be higher than 1cm). Add the filler so that it is parallel to the lower platform, then press the upper mold onto the filler. Use the fingers of your left hand to apply downward force on the upper mold. At the same time, use your right hand to turn the handwheel counterclockwise to make the upper mold sink to its upper surface. Just go under the platform above.
Quickly close the cover and quickly turn the octagonal knob clockwise to press the screw on the octagonal knob against the upper mold. It just feels a bit strong. Then, immediately turn the hand wheel of the imported chip placement machine clockwise until the pressure light lights up. At this time, add 1 to 2 more turns. Don't add more. Excessive pressure can cause sampling difficulties and collapse.
When the heat preservation indicator light of the metallographic mounting machine lights up, under the normal pressure requirement, the sample is mounted successfully after timing for 5 minutes.
The sampling process is: First turn the handwheel counterclockwise to release the pressure until the pressure light goes out, then turn it 3 to 5 times, then turn the octagonal knob clockwise and push the upper module downward to demould the sample. Then turn the octagonal knob counterclockwise to open the lid.
Turn the hand wheel clockwise to push out the upper mold. When the lower edge of the upper mold is parallel to the lower platform, use a long wooden block to knock down the upper mold, and place the upper mold at the corner of the upper platform on the right side of the cavity of the inlay machine.
Continue to raise the lower mold until the sample is exposed and can be removed. The method is the same as taking out the upper mold.
Before installing each sample, attention should be paid to cleaning the edges of the upper and lower modules to ensure smooth installation.
Remove Pressure: Turn the handwheel counterclockwise to relieve pressure until the pressure light goes out.
Free Up The Demoulding Space: Turn counterclockwise 5 turns.
Demoulding: Turn the octagonal knob clockwise, push the upper module downward, and demould the sample (this is a key step to ensure that no collapse or bouncing occurs); then, turn the octagonal knob counterclockwise to open the cover.
Then, turn the handwheel clockwise to push out the upper mold. When the lower edge of the upper mold is parallel to the lower platform, use a wooden hammer (padded with flannel) to knock down the upper mold (note: the upper mold is hot at this time and cannot be Take it directly with your hands). Place the upper mold on the corner of the upper platform on the right side of the mounting machine cavity.
Continue to raise the lower mold until the sample is exposed and can be taken out. The method is the same as taking out the upper mold (you cannot hold it directly with your hands).
The Method of Mounting Machines
Hot Installation
Suitable for samples that do not deform under low temperature and low pressure.
Cold Mounting
Materials that are extremely sensitive to temperature and pressure and samples with microcracks should be cold mounted to avoid changes in the sample structure. Cold mounting can be used to mount large simple specimens, with short curing time, low shrinkage, strong adhesion, good edge and corner protection, and good wear resistance. Suitable for ultra-high-speed placement in the microelectronics industry; vacuum impregnation of brittle materials, etc.
Low Melting Point Alloy Installation Method
Cast and mount suitable metallographic specimens from molten low-melting alloy solutions. Place the small sample to be mounted on a flat iron plate, cover the outside of the sample with a suitable metal ring or plastic ring, inject the low melting point alloy into the ring and wait for it to cool. Low melting point alloy inlay method does not affect the metallographic structure during inlay, but it is difficult to polish and corrode.
Dental Tray Powder Plus Dental Tray Water Setting Method
At room temperature, add dental tray powder and an appropriate amount of dental tray water to make a paste (not too thin), place the small sample to be mounted on the flat glass, and use a suitable metal ring or plastic ring to place it outside the sample. At room temperature, add dental tray powder and appropriate amount of dental tray water to make a paste (not too thin), quickly pour it into a metal ring or plastic ring, and wait for 30 minutes to solidify. The current situation is that this method can completely replace the low melting point alloy installation method.
Mechanical Clamping
The sample is fixed on the steel plate with screws, and the sample can be separated by the screws. Mechanical clamping is suitable for regular-shaped cylinders, thin plate samples, etc., and is also suitable for samples that cannot be heated. Commonly used clamps include flat clamps, ring clamps and special clamps.
The Material That Can Be Processed By The Mounting Press
Hot Inlay Material: At present, the inlay material is mostly plastic. The inlay materials include thermosetting plastics (such as bakelite powder), thermoplastics (such as polyvinyl chloride), condensing plastics (epoxy resin of reinforcing agents), medical dental tray powder and dental tray water, etc. Bakelite powder is opaque, diverse in color, and relatively hard. The sample is not easy to chamfer, but it has poor corrosion resistance to strong acids and alkalis. Pvc is translucent or transparent, with good acid and alkali corrosion resistance.
Cold-mounted Material: Epoxy, acrylic, polyester resin.
Epoxy Resin: Low shrinkage and long curing time; good edge protection for vacuum impregnation for porous materials.
Acrylic Resin: Yellow or white, short curing time, suitable for mounting large quantities of irregularly shaped samples; good permeability to samples with cracks or porosity; ideal for printed circuit board packaging.
Polyester Resin: Yellow, transparent, long curing time; suitable for large-scale non-porous sample preparation; long pot life.
Precautions for Using a Mounting Press
Maintain
One of the best ways to avoid potential breakdowns and injuries is to perform preventive machine maintenance. Mounting machines are always under tremendous pressure from high pressure, high temperature and natural wear. Over time and heavy use, parts and fluids will need to be cleaned and replaced regularly.
Examine
Perform a thorough inspection of your machine regularly. You'll want to check hoses and seals for damage, fittings for cracks and tight fits, fluids that are dirty or degraded, and the machine as a whole for cracks. Pay close attention to any excessive vibrations or strange noises while the machine is running, as they may indicate the need for emergency repairs.
Cleanliness
Keeping the mounting machine adequately lubricated and the surrounding area clean is critical not only to the correct operation of the machine, but also to the safety of those using the machine. Lubrication is necessary for clean strokes, reduced friction, and a smooth user experience. Clutter, dirt, and oil slicks can create dangerous situations. Make sure discarded materials cannot slip or catch clothing.
Training
Any worker who uses a mounting machine should have knowledge of all areas of operation to take appropriate safety precautions, including how to identify problems and maintain overall safety. Using a press is a specialized job, and knowing how to operate a mounting machine safely requires experience and skill. Undertrained users are at a much higher risk of injury than properly trained users.
