Cold Mounting

Cold mounting involves the use of epoxy, acrylic or light curing resins to encapsulate samples  in a mold cup at room temperature. 
 
The BL-100™ is a blue (wavelength) light curing chamber used to cure one-part light (BL-Cure) curing resin.
 
The PCB pin insertion press is used to insert indexing pins into through-holes of PCB coupons prior to mounting.
 
The PC-200™ pressure chamber is used to suppress the formation of bubbles when mounting with either epoxy or acrylic resins.
 
The VacuPrep™ vacuum impregnation system is used to remove bubbles from epoxy resins.
 
Accessories: The Mount Extraction Press is used to help push out cured resin mounts from either 2-part or PCB mold cups.

BL-100™

Mount Extraction Press

This new product is designed to help extract/demold cured resin mounts from various 2-part mold cups. It features a large, stable base with a linear slide mechanism that is operated by hand to easily push the cured resin mold from the mounting cup. Mount Extraction Press for PCB Mold Cups is also available.

PC-200™

The PC-200™ is a large volume pressure chamber for cold mounting with acrylic and epoxy. With an 8" opening and 7.5" depth, this pressure chamber accommodates oversized silicone mounting cups, a large quantity of round cups, or multiple PCB molds.

The process of loading the PC-200™ pressure chamber with freshly poured molds is made easier with the stacking tray. The diameter of the tray easily fits into the chamber opening. The bottom of the tray is Teflon® for easy cleanup of spilled mold resin (acrylic or epoxy). The design allows for stable stacking of three (3) trays into the PC-200.

VacuPrep™

The VacuPrep™ removes trapped air from uncured epoxy, filling open pores and cavities in samples to provide maximum bonding and support. This maintains sample integrity during abrasive preparation, reducing the chance of cracking or delamination.

The VacuPrep™ comes in two (2) versions - the standard model and a turntable model.   This new variant adds a turntable with an anti-stick PTFE lined interior that operates with a rotation wheel located on the exterior right side of the unit. The turntable features markings where cups can be positioned beneath the fill tube in the cover. The operator then rotates the wheel on the right side of the unit to position each cup for drawing epoxy from the mixing cup while under vacuum.
