10T Manual Hot Press 15T Micro Thermal Press Platform Programmable Touchscreen Control

Product Overview

This micro thermal press platform is a precision benchtop solution engineered for labs requiring high-force pressing with exact temperature control and space efficiency. By combining a 15T hydraulic system with programmable dual-zone heating in a 260mm-wide chassis, the equipment delivers an outstanding footprint-to-performance ratio for demanding research environments.

Primarily serving polymer composite development, battery material research, and advanced thin-film processing, this unit enables reproducible hot pressing, curing, and sintering under tightly controlled thermal and mechanical conditions. From solid-state electrolyte films to polymer matrix composites, it supports iterative process refinement with high repeatability.

Built on a reinforced 130kg steel frame, the system offers industry-leading rigidity, virtually eliminating frame deflection under full 15T load. The intelligent touchscreen controller and rapid heating modules ensure robust, uninterrupted operation even in high-throughput labs, making it a trusted workhorse for critical research applications.

Key Features

• 260mm Ultra-Narrow Footprint: Strategic reorganization of the hydraulic reservoir and vertical electrical busbar routing reduced machine width from 330mm to 260mm. The saved volume is reinforced with 30kg of additional structural steel, creating a 130kg monolithic frame that easily passes through standard glovebox airlock doors while maintaining extreme rigidity under load.
• Aura-Touch™ Programmable Interface: A built-in 7-inch industrial capacitive touchscreen runs an intuitive custom operating system, allowing researchers to create, save, and execute complex multi-step temperature-pressure profiles. Real-time graphical overlays of temperature, pressure, and time provide process transparency without external data loggers.
• 15T High-Force Hydraulic System: Delivers precisely regulated pressure from 0 to 15 tons (150 kN) with excellent linearity, suitable for demanding material densification and curing processes that require consistent force application.
• Dual-Zone Heated Platens: Independently controlled upper and lower cartridge heater arrays ensure uniform thermal distribution across the full 200×200 mm working area. Power options up to 2800W enable rapid heating to 300°C, reducing cycle times dramatically.
• Monolithic 130kg Steel Frame: Extra-heavy steel reinforcement throughout the press structure virtually eliminates frame deflection, ensuring consistent platen parallelism and pressure stability even during maximum-load cycles.
• Scriptable Multi-Step Profiles: Beyond simple dwells, users can define up to 20-step temperature-pressure sequences with ramps, soaks, and cooling stages, stored locally for repeatable experimental runs without continuous operator intervention.
• Glovebox-Ready Design: The 260mm width and side-mounted service ports allow seamless transfer through laboratory glovebox airlocks, making it ideal for air-sensitive battery material research and synthesis.
• Integrated Cooling Circuit: Built-in water cooling channels maintain hydraulic system integrity during prolonged high-temperature operation. An optional closed-loop chiller connection accelerates platen cooldown for faster sample turnaround times.
