Buehler, Lake Bluff, Ill., introduces the SimpliMet 4000, a compression mounting system that eliminates bottlenecks at the mounting stage, rapidly transforming cut samples to specimens ready for grinding and polishing. Designed to be reliable in 24/7 manufacturing environments, the system has undergone rigorous testing to ensure function for long periods and many years.
Throughput time for the lab user is improved with the SimpliMet’s fast mounting cycles and specimen duplex capabilities (where two specimens are produced simultaneously in the same mold). It is equipped with the SmartCool intelligent cooling system that optimizes cooling time while also ensuring operator safety and minimal water usage. The intuitive interface sets and stores temperature, pressure, and time, thus shortening set up.
The SimpliMet 4000 is also packaged within a small footprint to relieve overcrowding while producing more mounts. The single-handed closure mechanism engages quickly, and makes moving to the next task a breeze. These time-saving features, combined with rigorous accelerated lifecycle testing to 160,000 cycles, deliver a press that will perform day in and day out.
The SimpliMet 4000 was designed to meet the needs of the most demanding labs. Reliability and speed are critical for production labs, so Buehler designed the product with these features as the primary goal.
