Mounting turns an awkward piece into something the next machine can hold. A small, irregular or fragile specimen is set in resin so its edges stay square and its surface stays flat through grinding and polishing. NextGen supplies hot mounting presses and vacuum impregnation systems for specimens prepared to ASTM E3.
Presses run from motorised single-chamber units to fully automatic hydraulic and dual-chamber machines that mount two samples at once, with mould diameters chosen to suit the specimen. Vacuum systems handle porous, cracked and coated material that resin has to reach before it sets. Resins, moulds and release agents come from the same supplier, and support continues for the life of the press.
One partner to equip your complete metallography laboratory
Mounting is one step of metallographic preparation. NextGen equips the rest of the laboratory too, from cutting, grinding and polishing equipment to hardness, tensile and impact testing, and stays responsible for it after delivery.

All of NextGen's hot and cold mounting press solutions are design with user-friendliness in mind. The question becomes 'which unit is the most optimal based on my daily sample volume'. With our manufactured to order and refurbished cold mounting press line-up, we are confident that we will find the correct option for your daily sample volume and time savings. Contact us today to learn more.
NextGen's lead time commitment for your semi-automatic mounting press is between 2-4 weeks from the beginning of the manufacturing phase to doorstep delivery. The semi-automatic mounting press machines are thoroughly tested and inspected in our facility prior to dispatch to insure that you get the perfect metallographic mounting solution every time. Contact us today to learn more.
The metallographic mounting press equipment is technologically advanced yet fundamental in its operation. The metallography mounting presses with NextGen can come upgrade with a 3 piece samples mounting option. This allows you to reach triple productivity with the same unit. The fully automated metallographic mounting press gives you an additional benefit of no operator involvement during the hot mounting press process. Request your quote today to learn more.
When it comes to mounting larger volumes of metallographic specimens we would recommend going with the MSA Series semi automatic mounting press or the MFA Series fully automatic mounting press. Both of the suggested mounting presses for metallographic specimen preparation offer a high speed sample preparation with minimum to virtually no operator involvement. These state of the arts mounting presses allow the operators to spend minimum time preparing between 1 to 3 samples at any one given time in minutes. Feel free to review the videos outlining the process for our Semi-automatic mounting press equipment and Fully-automatic mounting press equipment or visit our YouTube channel for additional specimen preparation solutions.
Our metallographyic mounting press line up covers a mass range of metallographic sample preparation needs for any quality control lab. GenPress Series - Metallography Mounting Presses are here to serve your needs with semi-, fully-automatic and advanced mounting press equipment. Our vacuum impregnation systems are state of the art allowing for multiple sample preparation of porous materials with speed and ease. Contact us today to learn more.
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.
