The TERAPRESS TP 7500S compression mounting press is designed for ease - of - use and reliability.
It utilizes an electrohydraulic system that maintains a constant force on the specimen, thus
eliminating the requirement to continually monitor and increase the force as the resin begins to melt.
Rapid heating is achieved by a heater that completely surrounds the mold assembly and is precisely
controlled via microprocessors. Cooling is also accelerated by a water
- cooling jacket, and can be
accomplished by cooling for a set amount of time or to a specific temperature. This ensures that
curing can be achieved for both thermoset and thermoplastic compression mounting resins.
Depending on your needs, the TP 7500S is sold with either interchangeable or fixed mold
assemblies. Interchangeable molds allow the user to quickly swap mold sizes from 1 to 2 inch
mounts. Fixed molds offer superior heat retention resulting in shorter cycle times and are best for
labs that work with the same mold size the majority of the time.
With the use of a spacer, the TERAPRESS TP 7500S can produce two mounts simultaneously. This
can substantially increase the productivity of your metallographic laboratory.
