Operation

2.1

Introduction

Prontopress-2

is

an

automatic hydraulic

mounting

press

for

metallographic

laboratories.

2.2 Embedding

Unit

The

press

is

supplied

with

an

embedding

unit

incorporating a heating/cooling

element.

Moulding

cylinders

and

rams

are

delivered

separately

according

to

requirement.

The

embedding

unit

will

accept

standard

moulding

cylinders

of

inside

diameters

between

25

and

40

mm

including

1”,

1¼”

and

1½”.

A

thermistor

ensures

accurate

control

of

the

temperature

of

the

heating/cooling

element.

The

pressure

in

the moulding

cylinder

is

established between

the

upper

and

lower

rams.

The

upper

ram

is

kept down

in

the

cylinder by

means

of

a

bayonet

closure

on

the

upper

rim

of

the

cylinder,

and

the

lower

end of

the

cylinder

is

held

in

place

on

the base

unit

by

a threaded

ring.

The

lower

ram

is

placed

on

the

piston

rod,

see

below.

2.3

Base

Unit

The

base

unit

consists

of

a motor

driven

hydraulic

pump,

a

high

pressure

cylinder

and

automatic

controls

for

compressive

force,

heating-

and

cooling

time

and

heating

temperature.

The

compressive

force

is

produced

by a

hydraulic

system

comprising a

pump,

a

high-pressure

cylinder

and

a pressure

regulator.

The pump

is

driven

by a

reversible

electric

motor.

When the

motor

runs

in

one

direction,

the

oil

is

pumped

from

the

reservoir

into

the

primary

side

of

the

high-pressure

cylinder,

and

the piston

rod

ascends. When the

motor

reverses,

oil is

pumped

into

the

secondary

side

of

the

high-pressure cylinder,

whereby

the piston

rod

descends.

Hints

Resin

1

and

Resin

3

is

not

electrically

conductive,

can

be

used

in

conjunction

with

Resin

1

to

provide

an

insulating surface

with

Resin

1

as

the

conductive

backing.

Resin

4,

5

and

6

When

using

the rather expensive resins

4

and

5,

these

can

be used

in

the

bottom

of

the

cylinder,

which

is

then filled

up

with the

less

expensive

bakelite

resin.

Pre-mount

is

best

suited

for

routine

mounting

of

large

numbers of

specimens

where,

due to

their

compact

form

and

the addition

of

an

intermediate

ram,

two

mounts can

be

produced

in

one

process

(max.

040

mm).

Because of

its

compact

form,

Pre-mount already

exerts

a

certain

pressure

on

the

specimen

from

the

start

of

the

mounting

process,

making

it

suitable

for

use only

with

pressure-resistant

specimens.

Mould

Release

Wax

Distance

to

cylinder

wall

Small

specimens

Clean

specimens

Must

always

be

applied

to

the

mounting

rams

in

a

thin

layer

before

the

mounting

process

begins. This

prevents

the adhesive

qualities

of

the resins

from making

it

difficult

to remove

the

mounts

afterwards.

The

distance

between

the

specimen

and

the

cylinder

wall

must

be

minimum

3

mm (1/8”)

to

avoid cracks

in

the

resin.

This

goes

especially

for

specimens

with

sharp

edges.

Small

thin

specimens

can

be

stabilized by

means

of

Struers

mounting

clips,

available

in

metal

and

in

plastic

(see

the

chapter “Consumables”).

The

specimens

must

be

clean,

dry

and

free

from

grease.

If

necessary

clean

with

alcohol

or

another

suitable

degreasing

fluid.

Pressure

Preheating

The

recommended

maximum

pressures

vary

from

15

kN for

025

mm

to

35

kN for

o40

mm

specimens.

The pressure

must

never

exceed

55

kN

and

be

less

than

15

kN.

For

porous

and/or

pressure

sensitive

specimens,

such

as

minerals,

electronic

parts

etc.,

it

is

an

advantage

to

soften the

resin

by

heating,

before

applying pressure.

This

is

mostly

advantageous

when

using

thermoplastic

resins

and

especially

Resin

3.

If

longer.

The

for

all

Thermoplastic

resins

(especially

Resin 3)

penetrate

well

into

porous

specimens.

The

best

results

are

obtained

by

preheating

the

resin

(see

“Preheatmng”).

NB

For

very

porous

specimens,

hot

compression mounting

should

be

avoided.

Cold

should

be used

instead (Epof

Thermoplastic

resins

(especially

Resin

3)

Maintenance

(Maintenance)

Apart

from

cleaning

and

exchange

of

oil

the base

unit

requires

no

regular

maintenance.

However, moving

parts

may

be

greased.

Fuse

(fig.

2.11) For

replacement

of

the

fuse,

unscrew

the

black

plastic button

and remove

the

fuse.

Replace

with

of

the

right

amperage.

4.1

Cleaning

Clean with

a

dry

cloth

(do

not

use

compressed

air).

Moulding

cylinders

and

rams

must

be

kept

clean.

The

cylinder

may

be

cleaned

by passing

the

lower

ram

up

through

the

cylinder

without

producing

a

mount.

For

a

more

thorough

cleaning

remove

the

cylinder. Cylinder

and

rams

are

cleaned

in

alcohol

or

acetone

or

possibly

in

an

ultrasonic

cleaner.

Rams

may

be

polished

with

6

pm

or

3

pm

diamond

on

a

soft

polishing

cloth

(DP-Nap).

4.2

Exchanging

the

Oil

The

hydraulic

oil

must

be

exchanged

at

intervals.

The

first

oil

exchange

must

take place

after

1000

hours of operation

and,

after

that,

at

every

3000

hours

of

operation,

or at

intervals

of

max. 10

years.

The

press

is

drained

of

oil

through

the drain

plug

in

the

bottom

of

the press.

When

the

press

has been

drained

of

oil,

the

embedding

unit

(fig.

1.11)

is

removed, and

the

press

is

turned

upside

down. Now

3

I

of

oil

are

filled

through

the

drain

hole

and

the

plug

is

mounted.
