In the field of material microstructure analysis, the specimen preparation stage plays a decisive role in the accuracy of inspection results. Understanding this paramount importance, Maxlab Equipment proudly introduces the Ixiang®-5S Veiyee Automatic Metallographic Mounting Press – a high-tech solution from China’s leading manufacturer of laboratory testing machinery. Featuring an innovative dual-chamber design and an intelligent control system, this equipment promises to fully optimize the specimen preparation workflow for manufacturing plants and research institutes alike.

The most valuable upgrade on the Ixiang®-5S Veiyee Automatic Metallographic Mounting Press is its dual-chamber structure (Dual Chamber). Instead of mounting only one specimen at a time like traditional conventional machines, this advanced equipment allows operators to fabricate up to 4 specimens simultaneously in a single cycle (using a duplex mold spacer).

This breakthrough improvement helps laboratories thoroughly solve the problem of overload when the daily volume of samples to be processed is immense. Not stopping there, the machine supports flexible changes of mold cylinder sizes ranging from φ25mm, φ30mm, φ40mm to φ50mm, perfectly accommodating all geometric shapes and dimensions of various material blanks.

Time is always a core element in production and quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) processes. The Ixiang®-5S Veiyee Automatic Metallographic Mounting Press comes equipped with an innovative modular-type immersive heating and cooling system that has been officially patented.

Thanks to its powerful thermal heating capacity of up to 3000W, the machine can rapidly elevate the temperature up to 200°C and distribute heat energy completely evenly. The water cooling process is also highly optimized through circular cooling pipes, shortening the entire compression mounting cycle to just about 6 minutes. This is an impressive figure, saving significant time and electricity consumption for businesses.

A qualified metallographic mount must guarantee high hardness, without any cracking or internal porosity. To achieve this premium standard, the Ixiang®-5S Veiyee Automatic Metallographic Mounting Press utilizes a powerful hydraulic pump system with an operating pressure ranging dynamically from 0 to 20 MPa.

In particular, the machine integrates cyclic pressure control technology (Cyclic Jog-Pressure). The system automatically compensates for pressure continuously throughout the plasticization and solidification stages of the resin. This intelligent pressure-holding circuit forcefully expels all residual air pockets out of the mold, entirely eliminating air bubbles around the sample surface. This creates perfectly flat and smooth mounts, completely protecting the fragile edges of the specimen during subsequent grinding and polishing stages.

Maxlab Equipment highly evaluates this model due to its extremely intuitive and accessible digital control interface. Users only need to configure parameters such as heating temperature, holding time, and cooling temperature once. The machine permits the storage of up to 10 mounting programs (recipes) optimized for different types of mounting resins (such as Bakelite, Acrylic, Epoxy).

After placing the specimen and mounting powder into the mold cylinder, the entire sequence—including mold lifting, hydraulic pressing, heating, pressure holding, and water cooling—takes place fully automatically with a single button press. When the cycle concludes, the system automatically drops pressure safely and ejects the samples, minimizing manual intervention and protecting laboratory technicians from any risk of thermal burns.

The Ixiang®-5S Veiyee Automatic Metallographic Mounting Press is the ideal choice for metallographic laboratories, mechanical engineering, automotive production, aerospace industries, and material science research institutes. The device not only brings outstanding operational throughput but also ensures excellent uniformity and high repeatability for every single mounting batch.
