Automatic Hydraulic Mounting Press for Material Testing & Failure Analysis

Mikrosize: Your Partner for Precision Metallographic Mounting & Testing Instruments


In material science, quality control, and failure analysis, precision begins with perfect sample preparation. The modern Metallographic Mounting Machine is indispensable for any serious laboratory. As a distinguished global supplier, Mikrosize provides state-of-the-art mounting solutions within our comprehensive portfolio of Measuring and Testing Instruments. Our commitment extends beyond hardness testers, image analyzers, and microscopes to encompass the foundation of accurate metallography: flawless specimen embedding.


Equipment Overview: Ensuring Sample Integrity


The contemporary metallographic mounting machine is a sophisticated, automated system designed for reliability and repeatability. The advanced model featured is a touch-screen controlled, programmable, fully automatic hydraulic machine. Engineered for excellence, it streamlines preparation workflow, ensuring samples are perfectly preserved and supported for subsequent grinding, polishing, and examination under Mikrosize microscopes and analyzers.


Superiority is rooted in exceptional heating and cooling systems. The precisely controlled heating cycle ensures optimal resin fluidity, infiltrating complex geometries—porous surfaces, intricate edges, or delicate structures. Rapid, uniform cooling solidifies the mount with minimal shrinkage or stress, guaranteeing exceptional bonding. This robust bond prevents detachment during rigorous preparation, eliminating edge rounding, pull-outs, or cracks that could compromise hardness testing or microstructural analysis. The result is a perfectly planar, stable mount ready for accurate measurement.

Enhanced Features for Performance & Ease of Use


Designed for operator efficiency, this machine embodies Mikrosize innovation.


Intuitive Color Touch Screen: The user-friendly interface allows easy parameter setting—temperature, pressure, time—with clear, real-time display. It simplifies training, reduces error, and ensures consistency for both high-throughput QC labs and research institutes.


Robust Industrial Design: Compact, innovative, and aesthetically pleasing, its durable construction ensures long-term reliability in busy labs, aligning with the sturdy performance of all Mikrosize equipment.


Fully Automated One-Click Operation: With a single command, the machine automatically executes the complete protocol: heating, insulation, pressure application with automatic compensation, cooling, and ejection. This automation frees technician time. Embedding a standard 30mm sample takes approximately 6 minutes, ensuring high throughput.


Versatile Sample Handling & Transparency: The machine accommodates 1-2 samples per cycle. A key feature is its capability to create transparent mounts, invaluable for inspecting edge retention of coatings, solder joint integrity, or any application requiring lateral observation before polishing. This enhances the value provided by downstream Mikrosize vision systems and digital microscopes.


Built-In Intelligence & Safety: The system comes pre-loaded with common embedding parameters for various resins and sample sizes. The scientific top-cover design ensures easy loading and safe operation, complemented by an emergency stop button.


Mikrosize: A Holistic Solution Provider


Choosing Mikrosize means investing in a coherent ecosystem of Measuring and Testing Instruments. Our mounting press is the ideal first step in a seamless preparation-to-analysis chain:


  1. Perfect Mounting: Creates a flawless, void-free specimen mount with optimal edge retention.

  2. Precise Grinding/Polishing: The stable mount proceeds to compatible grinding/polishing systems for a scratch-free, deformation-free surface.

  3. Advanced Microscopy: The sample is analyzed under high-resolution Mikrosize microscopes for crystal-clear imaging.

  4. Detailed Imaging & Analysis: Mikrosize image analyzers and vision measuring systems provide precise dimensional analysis, grain size measurement, phase fraction determination, and coating thickness assessment.

  5. Mechanical Property Verification: Mikrosize hardness testers (Vickers, Rockwell, Brinell) provide quantitative data directly on the perfectly prepared mount.


This integrated approach ensures data integrity. A poorly mounted sample leads to inaccurate readings and misleading images, regardless of advanced subsequent instruments. Therefore, the Metallographic Mounting Machine is a foundational pillar in material characterization.


Applications Across Industries


Applications for our automatic mounting machine are vast:


  • Aerospace & Automotive: Analyzing turbine blades, evaluating heat-treated gears, inspecting welded joints.

  • Additive Manufacturing: Examining porosity, layer bonding, and microstructure of printed metal parts.

  • Electronics & Semiconductors: Creating transparent mounts to inspect solder balls, wire bonds, and microchip cross-sections.

  • Forensic Engineering & Failure Analysis: Preserving fracture surfaces and preparing damaged components to identify root causes.

  • Academic & Government Research: Conducting fundamental studies, developing new alloys, and training material scientists.
