4.5 Soft Start Function
Soft Start is a new feature to the TERAPRESS line of mounting presses. It allows the user to
prep the mounting press to a specific temperature and pressure before continuing with the
remainder of the procedure. This is helpful for situations such as where heating the mounting
compound or sample needs to be done at a slower rate to ensure proper curing, or if the
sample is brittle and needs to be pressurized before temperature should be applied for
structural integrity of the sample.
To add Soft Start to a procedure, select Soft Start next to the desired procedure. Empty
boxes will now appear under Pressure, Heating, and Holding, and can be set using the same
method as described in section 4.4. For the example above, Custom 2 will now complete the
following procedure:
1. Heat to 120C while under 10 MPa of pressure.
2. Hold for 2 minutes.
3. Heat to 140C while under 30 MPa of pressure.
4. Hold for 1 minute.
5. Cool to 45C.
