Dear users, when you are about to start using the MPress - 1MA Auto Metallographic Mounting Press, it is essential to strictly follow the following carefully - organized operation procedures by Mikrosize Equipment Supplier. This is crucial for ensuring the precise and efficient progress of the mounting work and maintaining the good operating condition of the equipment . I. Pre - mounting Preparation (1) Equipment Appearance and Performance Inspection Before starting any operation, you need to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the MPress - 1MA Auto Metallographic Mounting Press with a rigorous attitude. Carefully check the equipment's outer shell to ensure that there is no deformation, damage, or cracks. The control panel of the equipment is the core of operation. Check whether each button is sensitive and whether the display screen can display clear information normally. At the same time, check key components such as the heating device and the pressurizing device to ensure that their performance is good and there are no signs of looseness or damage. If any abnormality is found, stop the operation immediately and contact professional technical maintenance personnel for handling. Do not continue to use it with a fluke mentality to avoid more serious problems. (2) Mold Preparation and Cleaning Select a suitable mounting mold according to the size and shape of the sample to be mounted. Before use, be sure to deeply clean the mold. Use professional cleaners and soft cloths to thoroughly remove oil stains, impurities, and debris remaining from the previous mounting on the mold surface. After cleaning, carefully check whether there are scratches, wear, etc. inside the mold. If there are such problems, it may affect the mounting effect and requires timely replacement or repair. (3) Preparation of Mounting Materials Select appropriate mounting materials, such as thermosetting plastic powder, according to the characteristics of the sample and experimental requirements. Accurately weigh an appropriate amount of mounting materials. Excessive or insufficient amount may lead to mounting failure or poor quality. At the same time, check whether the mounting materials are damp, deteriorated, etc. If there are such problems, replace them with new materials to ensure the quality of the mounting. II. Mounting Process (1) Sample Placement Carefully place the pretreated sample in the center of the mounting mold. Ensure that the sample is placed stably and avoid tilting or offsetting, otherwise, the sample position may be incorrect after mounting, affecting subsequent observation and analysis. After placing the sample, you can gently press it to make it fully contact the bottom of the mold. (2) Adding Mounting Materials Pour the prepared mounting materials evenly into the mold to cover the sample. During the adding process, try to keep the material distribution uniform and avoid local accumulation or vacancy. After adding, use tools to appropriately compact the mounting materials to make them more compact. (3) Equipment Operation Put the mold with the sample and mounting materials into the working area of the MPress - 1MA Auto Metallographic Mounting Press and ensure it is firmly installed. Close the equipment door and start the mounting press. According to the characteristics and requirements of the mounting materials, accurately set parameters such as heating temperature, heating time, pressurizing pressure, and pressurizing time on the control panel. The setting of these parameters is directly related to the quality of the mounting, so be sure to operate carefully. After setting, click the start button, and the equipment will automatically perform operations such as heating and pressurizing according to the set program. During the entire mounting process, closely monitor the operation status of the equipment, observe whether the heating and pressurizing are normal, and whether there are any abnormal noises or vibrations in the equipment. If any abnormal situation is found, immediately press the emergency stop button, stop the equipment operation, and conduct inspections and handling. III. Post - mounting Treatment (1) Removing the Mounted Sample After the equipment completes the mounting program and stops running, wait for a while to let the mold and the mounted sample naturally cool down to an appropriate temperature. Then, carefully open the equipment door and take out the mold. Use special tools to take out the mounted sample from the mold. During the removal process, pay attention to avoiding damage to the sample.(2) Sample Trimming The surface of the removed mounted sample may be uneven or have excess mounting materials. Use sandpaper or other suitable tools to appropriately trim the sample surface to make it flat and smooth for subsequent grinding, polishing, and other operations. During the trimming process, pay attention to the force and direction to avoid over - trimming and damaging the sample. (3) Equipment Cleaning and Maintenance After the mounting work is completed, clean and maintain the equipment in a timely manner. Wipe the inside and outside of the equipment with a clean cloth to remove residual mounting materials and dust. Check whether each component of the equipment, such as heating elements and pressure sensors, is damaged or loose. If problems are found, replace or tighten them in a timely manner. Regularly conduct comprehensive maintenance of the equipment, including adding lubricating oil to mechanical components, calibrating temperature and pressure sensors, etc., to ensure that the equipment is always in good working condition and extend its service life. By strictly following the above - mentioned operation steps, you will be able to give full play to the performance advantages of theMPress - 1MA Auto Metallographic Mounting Press and obtain high - quality mounted samples. If you encounter any questions or technical problems during the operation process, please feel free to consult the equipment operation manual or contact the professional technical support team for help. |
