The main difference between semi and fully automatic mounting presses in the GenPress Series – Metallography Mounting Presses is the level of operator involvement. Depending on your laboratory needs you may be okay with your engineer being present during the mounting process or having the flexibility of walking off to complete various tasks during the same hot mounting press process. With our GenPress MSA – Semi Automatic Mounting Press the process requires minute monitoring of the pressure during the mounting process. GenPress MFA – Fully Automatic Mounting Press model controls the pressure automatically after the sample and the epoxy has been loaded in the unit. Both machines operate with speed, ease of use and finesse. You may choose to watch the videos for GenPress MSA and GenPress MFA to experience the difference.
