Page 1\n1\nA PROGRAMMABLE MOUNTING PRESS \nUSED TO ENCAPSULATE SAMPLES FOR \nMETALLOGRAPHIC PREPARATION\nQuality Products for Metallographic Sample Preparation & Analysis\nProduct Brochure\nTechPress 3x™\nMOUNTING PRESS\n\n\nPage 2\n2\nThe TechPress 3x™ Electro-Hydraulic Automatic \nMounting Press is used to encapsulate samples for \nmetallographic preparation.\nThe microprocessor-based system allows the \noperator to use either manual input or a preloaded \ndatabase of 80 adjustable programs, which include \nparameters for mold size, single mount or duplexing, \nmounting resin, curing time and temperature, cooling \ntime and pressure. \nIt features an intuitive interface using a 7" color LCD \ntouchscreen to control all functions, and is selectable \nbetween 10 languages. \nMold assemblies can be changed from 25 mm \nthrough 2", and include a duplexing spacer, allowing \ntwo mounts per cycle to be produced at one time.\nDurable: Engineered and constructed using precision \nmachined aluminum and stainless steel components \nto provide maximum longevity. \nEasy to Use: User-friendly functions allow quick, \neasy, repeatable operation. \nSafe: A safety sensor requires full closure of the \nbayonet cap before cycle start to ensure operator \nprotection.\nMold assemblies, recirculating coolant system \nand accessories are sold separately.\nItem Description\n5-1100 TechPress 3x™, 120-230 V\nFeatures:\n• Can prepare up to 2 mounts in 5 minutes\n• Selectable languages (English, Italian, French, \n Spanish, Portuguese, German, Russian, Chinese, \n Japanese, Korean)\n• 7" color LCD touchscreen to control all functions\n• Intuitive interface optimized for productivity and \n function\n• Safety sensor to require full closure of bayonet cap \n before cycle start\n• Selectable units: psi/BAR, °C/°F\n• Two modes of operation: “manual input” or one-touch \n “programs” from a database of 80 preloaded, \n adjustable parameters for mold size, single mount or \n duplexing, mounting resin, curing time and \n temperature, cooling time and pressure\n• Mold assemblies that can be changed from \n 25 mm through 2", and include a duplexing spacer, \n allowing up to two mounts per cycle\n• One-touch or momentary-touch ram extension and \n retraction\n• Seamless integration with optional #5-1550 \n Recirculating Coolant System for standalone or\n “green” operation\n• Enclosure resistant to impact, corrosion, and heat\n• Non-conductive bayonet handles that remain cool \n during operation\n• Bayonet holding tray that protects the die from damage \n between cycles\n• Compact, narrow footprint\n• Password protectable parameters\n• Heating power: 1500 W\n• Molding pressure: up to 4500 psi (310 Bar)\n• Curing temperature: 0-200 °C (32-392 °F) \n• Curing time: 0-100 minutes\n• Cooling time: 0-100 minutes\n• Two (2) year warranty\n• Designed and manufactured by Allied in the USA\n\n\nPage 3\n3\nMold/Heater Assemblies\nItem Description\n5-1105 1" Mold with Duplex Spacer\n5-1120 2" Mold with Duplex Spacer\n5-1110 1.25" Mold with Duplex Spacer\n5-1125 25 mm Mold with Duplex Spacer\n5-1135 40 mm Mold with Duplex Spacer\n5-1115 1.5" Mold with Duplex Spacer\n5-1130 30 mm Mold with Duplex Spacer\n5-1140 50 mm Mold with Duplex Spacer\nA range of mold/heater assemblies are available to \naccommodate various size samples. They may be \nchanged from 25 mm through 2 inch, and include a \nduplexing spacer, allowing up to two mounts per cycle to \nbe produced at one time. The new coiled heating and \ncooling lines within the cast housing and thin-walled \ncylinders allow quick and efficient cycling.\nDuplexing spacer provided with each mold assembly allows 2 mounts \nto be produced per cycle.\nMold assemblies are interchangeable.\n\n\nPage 4\n4\nPassword protection option maintains integrity of the program \ndatabase to ensure repeatability.\nPop-up keypad makes numerical entry easy. The 7" \ncolor LCD touchscreen is used to control all functions and \nis extremely easy to navigate, allowing greater efficiency \namong users. \nIntuitive\nChoose Input Mode when entering data manually, or use \nPrograms Mode to access the pre-loaded database of \n80 preset programs that can be changed or customized \naccording to material.\nIntuitive, icon-based interface includes option for one-touch or \nmomentary-touch ram extension and retraction.\nCompact\nEasy To Use\nNarrow 11.5" (292 mm) footprint saves counter space.\nNew bayonet design - smooth, effortless opening after cycle\n\n\nPage 5\n5\nPrograms Mode: Korean\nSelectable languages (English, Italian, French, Spanish, \nPortuguese, German, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean)\nVersatile\n80 easily selectable, pre-loaded and adjustable programs for \nall mounting materials and mold sizes\nPrepare two mounts per cycle up to 2" / 50 mm.\nConvenient\nSafe\nBayonet holding tray protects the die from damage between \ncycles.\nSafety sensor requires full closure of bayonet cap before \ncycle start.\n\n\nPage 6\n6\nItem Description\n30-8000 Mount Storage Cabinet\n30-8005 Mount Divider, (144) 1" or 25 mm diameter\n30-8005 Mount Divider, (61) 1.5" or 40 mm diameter\n30-8005 Mount Divider, (100) 1.25" or 30 mm diameter\n30-8005 Mount Divider, (36) 2" or 50 mm diameter\nItem Description\n5-1550 Recirculating Coolant System, 115 V\n5-1550-230 Recirculating Coolant System, 230 V\nDims: 12" W x 23" D x 13.25" H (305 x 584 x 337mm)\nWeight: 28 lb.
