Description

GHEXA-MNT-EQP-COLD-006 Pressure Cold Mounting Machine The GHEXA-MNT-EQP-COLD-006 (ThetaMount) is a compact, high-efficiency pressure-assisted cold mounting system that applies up to 2 bar of pressure to accelerate resin curing and eliminate air bubbles for superior edge adhesion and mount quality. Designed specifically for rapid preparation using acrylic resins (especially TJ-2210) and other cold-mounting media, it preserves the physical and chemical properties of the resin-hardener mixture while delivering bubble-free, high-clarity specimens with exceptional edge retention—ideal for heat-sensitive or delicate samples in metallographic, electronic, and materials laboratories.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: What is the main advantage of pressure-assisted cold mounting over standard cold mounting? A: The 2.0 bar pressure removes trapped air bubbles, forces resin into microscopic gaps, and significantly improves edge adhesion—resulting in flatter, more durable mounts with superior edge retention compared to atmospheric curing.

Q: Which resins work best with the GHEXA-MNT-EQP-COLD-006? A: It is optimized for fast-curing acrylic resins such as TJ-2210, as well as other cold-mount epoxies and acrylics. Pressure accelerates curing while fully preserving resin properties—G-Hexa supplies compatible high-performance resins.

Q: How many samples can I mount at once? A: The Φ235 × 170 mm chamber accommodates multiple standard 25–50 mm diameter molds simultaneously (typically 4–8 depending on size), making it suitable for batch preparation in busy labs.

Q: What air supply is required? A: Clean, dry compressed air at 3–10 bar (common lab or workshop compressor). The system includes a safety valve set at 2.8–3.3 bar for overpressure protection.

Q: Does pressure mounting generate heat or affect sample integrity? A: No—pressure curing is purely mechanical and does not introduce heat or alter the chemical/physical properties of the resin-hardener mixture, making it safe for heat-sensitive or delicate samples.

Q: Is the timer and buzzer useful? A: Yes—the built-in timer lets you set precise curing durations, and the audible buzzer signals completion—freeing operators to perform other tasks without constant monitoring.

Q: Is this machine suitable for small labs or teaching environments? A: Absolutely—its compact size, lightweight 8.5 kg design, simple operation, and high-quality results make it ideal for university teaching labs, small R&D groups, and space-constrained QA facilities.

Q: What maintenance is required? A: Minimal—regularly clean the chamber after use, ensure dry compressed air supply, and periodically check air connections. G-Hexa provides full maintenance guidelines and support.
