Transparent Vacuum Chamber Design
Precision filling of mounting resin with full perspective observation saves consumables and improve operational efficiency.
Spare Parts and Consumables
Parts and all consumables are readily available in stock and can be acquired directly from NextGen Material Testing by request. Also, we do not use proprietary parts, therefore additional parts can be sourced from local suppliers as needed many years down the road.
Installation
The MP series, although built with advanced technologies, is a simple plug-n-play machine which does not require formal training and installation. The supplied instructional videos do a fine job explaining how to set up and utilize the machine with ease.
Vacuum Impregnation System User-Friendliness
With manual degassing, the user can fill mounting cups at any position in the vacuum chamber.
