The Qpress 40 is a robust hot mounting press for exceptionally fast mounting processes. Thanks to its powerful heating/cooling technology and speed-optimized temperature control, the mounting time is significantly reduced. The robust bayonet closure, optional simple one-button operation, and clear parameter display on the 7″ industrial touchscreen ensure convenient and intuitive use. The connectable, patented extraction system sets new standards in occupational safety for the user.
Shorter mounting times are achieved by:
The new technology can reduce the mounting time by up to 35%.
The highest possible operating safety is achieved with the butler function. In just a few steps, the entire mounting process can be controlled by pressing the multifunction button. In addition, the PLUS software has a method database with pre-installed, consumable-specific mounting recipes and allows the storage of more than 128 user-defined mounting methods. This ensures the fastest possible operation with maximum process reliability.
The patented and optional integrable suction device (Dust Guard) protects the user from inhaling dust that can escape when the mounting resin is filled into the mould. This significantly enhances health protection in the workplace. In the PLUS software version, the extraction system is automatically controlled by the software.
The suction nozzle attached to the back of the machine is removable, making cleaning very convenient. The mould and the two plungers can be removed for cleaning in just a few simple steps.
The tall press cylinder allows two samples to be mounted on top of each other simultaneously. This saves valuable mounting time and doubles sample throughput. Additionally, this mounting method is particularly time- and energy-efficient.
The robust and ergonomic bayonet closure fits comfortably in the hand and allows quick and easy opening and closing of the press cylinder.
The machine includes a granule compartment for easy pick-up and disposal of excess mounting granules.

The intuitive software with a modern interface displays all important mounting parameters on the robust 7″ industrial touchscreen. Here, you can set the heating and cooling times, desired cooling capacity, temperature, and press mould pressure. Additionally, the software displays the current status of the hot mounting press. User Account Control allows settings to be write-protected.
For sensitive samples (sheets, thin-walled pipes, coated materials), a 2-step mode can be activated permitting independent control of temperature and pressure. For example, in the first stage, the mounting resin melts at low press chamber pressure. In the second stage, full pressure is applied for compaction, providing maximum protection for the sample.
The machine features an automatic descaling function. Simply insert a descaling tablet and select the software function to start the descaling process.
The new Qpress 40 hot mounting press has been developed to meet the increasing demands for precision, efficiency and user-friendliness. The Qpress 40 is characterized by innovative features that not only optimize work processes, but also improve the quality of the results.
