Product Overview
This automatic benchtop hot press reaches 500°C, providing the extreme thermal environment required for advanced polymer, ceramic, and battery material research. Its fully automated hydraulic system and PID temperature control deliver uniform pressure and heat across 180×180 mm platens, ensuring repeatable, high-quality sample preparation.
Designed for R&D labs, the system operates on standard 220V single-phase power and occupies just 290×290 mm of bench space, making it easy to integrate without facility modifications. Robust water cooling protects internal components during continuous high-temperature use, while safety interlocks ensure operator protection. With over-temperature safeguarding and durable construction, this press offers reliable performance for demanding applications ranging from conductive polymer films to solid-state battery electrolytes.
Key Features
- 500°C Ultra-High Temperature Capability: The heating system achieves uniform 500°C across the entire platen, enabling processing of PI, PEEK, PTFE, and other advanced thermoplastics, as well as ceramic sintering and metal powder densification. This extreme temperature range expands your lab's material science capabilities without needing multiple instruments.
- Compact Powerhouse Design: Occupying only 290×290 mm of bench space, the rigid steel frame delivers 5 tons of force with minimal deflection. Its benchtop footprint makes it easy to integrate into crowded labs where floor-standing presses are not an option.
- Standard Electrical Compatibility: 1500W heating on 220V single-phase draws just 6.8A, allowing direct connection to standard lab outlets. No special wiring is required, enabling quick setup and lab-to-lab mobility.
- Integrated Water Cooling: Internal water channels actively cool the platens, accelerating cycle times and protecting the hydraulic system from heat damage. An interlock ensures cooling is active above 150°C, extending seal life and maintaining performance.
- Fully Automatic PID Control: Programmable temperature and pressure recipes are executed with repeatability of ±1°C and ±1% force. The touchscreen controller stores multiple protocols, logs data for QA, and eliminates manual errors.
- Precision Force Control: Stepless force adjustment from 0–5 tons with 0.01-ton resolution, via a load cell feedback loop. Ideal for delicate lamination and crack-sensitive materials.
- Large Uniform Platens: 180×180 mm precision-ground platens ensure parallelism <10 µm, allowing uniform pressure over large samples or multiple small pieces for high-throughput testing.
- Robust Safety Interlocks: Dual overtemp protection, emergency stop, and mandatory water cooling interlock provide comprehensive safety. Optional enclosed chamber available for fume extraction.
Applications
| Application | Description | Key Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| High-Performance Polymer Molding | Compression molding of high-temperature thermoplastics such as polyimide (PI), polyetheretherketone (PEEK), and fluoropolymers. Requires precise temperature control to avoid thermal degradation while achieving full densification. | Produces void-free, dimensionally stable parts with optimized crystallinity and mechanical properties. |
| Advanced Ceramic Lamination | Pre-sintering lamination of glass-ceramic tapes, LTCC multilayers, and electronic substrates. The uniform pressure and ramp-controlled heating prevent warpage and delamination in fragile green bodies. | Ensures layer alignment and thickness uniformity critical for circuit integrity and device yield. |
| Solid-State Battery Electrolyte Bonding | Hot pressing of solid electrolyte films (sulfide/oxide/polymer) onto electrodes in all-solid-state battery fabrication. Elevated temperature enhances ionic conduction across the interface. | Boosts ionic conductivity and mechanical adhesion, increasing energy density and cycle life. |
| Metal Foil Diffusion Bonding | Diffusion bonding of thin metal foils for thermal management components, micro-channel heat exchangers, and fuel cell interconnects. Inert gas option prevents oxidation. | Creates metallurgically sound bonds without filler metals, preserving electrical/thermal conductivity. |
| Thermoplastic Composite Consolidation | Consolidation of fiber-reinforced thermoplastic prepregs (CF/PEEK, GF/PEI) for aerospace and automotive test coupons. Controlled cooling rates achieve desired matrix crystallinity. | Produces high-fiber-volume laminates with excellent interlaminar shear strength and minimal voids. |
| Powder Compaction for Sputtering Targets | Uniaxial pressing of ceramic or metal powders into dense green bodies for sputtering targets or subsequent sintering. Uniform compaction ensures consistent shrinkage during firing. | Achieves near-theoretical density and homogeneous microstructure, reducing target conditioning time. |
