Hot mounting press for metallographic samples
Streamline your sample preparation with high-speed, modular hot mounting presses, designed to ensure precise, energy-efficient mounting of metallographic specimens while enhancing operator safety with innovative dust management features.

Mounts and Prepares Metallographic Specimens
The Qpress 50 series from ATM Qness GmbH is a modular hot mounting press uniquely designed for metallographic and materialographic sample preparation. Its modularity allows configuration to meet specific laboratory requirements, enabling the simultaneous and independent mounting of samples. Equipped with a 7-inch touch screen and intuitive control software, it features pre-installed preparation methods and user account management for ease of operation. The Qpress 50 improves safety and mounting efficiency with an integrated Dust Guard and sliding closure system, offering fast mounting cycles through pre-heating functions and adjustable cooling power. Suitable for applications ranging from metallurgy to aerospace, and supporting operations in research and development settings, this press handles variable mount sizes and is designed for benchtop installation, making it ideal for both educational institutions and industrial quality control departments.
