Abstract
The invention relates to a mounting press for hot mounting a sample, comprising: a mounting cylinder which receives the sample and has a main cylinder axis and a cylinder opening, wherein the main cylinder axis extends inside the mounting cylinder and out through the cylinder opening, and a covering that extends around the cylinder opening, and a suction device for extracting granular material dust, granular material, or vapors, for example, wherein the suction device comprises a vacuum generator for providing a suction effect, and wherein the suction device is at least partly mounted on the covering or embedded in the covering.
Claims17
A modular mounting press system for hot mounting samples comprising:
- a basic module for controlling at least one external mounting press;
- and
- a first external mounting press separate from and controllable by the basic module, and having:
- a first mounting cylinder for receiving samples to be hot mounted, the first mounting cylinder having a cylinder opening at an upper end;
- a lower piston within the first mounting cylinder;
- an upper piston having at least an open position and a closed position and being transferable from the open position to the closed position and engaging the first mounting cylinder within the first mounting cylinder in the closed position so as to close the cylinder opening;
- and
- a heating/cooling unit for heating and cooling the first mounting cylinder;
- the basic module comprising:
- a central input device for entering process parameters for the at least one external mounting press by a user;
- a central control device in communication with the central input device and for generating and outputting control parameters and for controlling the heating process of the at least one external mounting press;
- a central power supply port for connecting the modular mounting press system to an external power supply;
- and
- a power distributor for providing the electrical power to the at least one external mounting press, the power distributor in communication with the central control device.
