Product Overview

This thermal press system delivers exceptional rigidity and a compact footprint, specifically engineered for laboratories where space and precision are paramount. Weighing 130 kg yet occupying just 260 mm width, it glides through glovebox antechambers while maintaining structural integrity under 10 tons of force. Its 7-inch programmable touchscreen enables precise multi-segment temperature-pressure profiling, advancing beyond traditional manual controls.
Researchers in battery technology, polymer science, and advanced materials rely on this unit for hot pressing, lamination, and sample preparation. The programmable touchscreen control enables automated multi-step curing profiles, elevating manual hot press workflows to reproducible, semi-automated processes.
Built with heavy-gauge steel and CE‑certified components, this press delivers long-term, maintenance-friendly operation. Integrated water cooling and thermal safety features protect both the hydraulic system and heating elements, ensuring consistent performance across thousands of cycles.
Key Features
- Ultra-Narrow 260mm Chassis: FEA-optimized internal hydraulic and electrical routing achieves a slim profile that fits through standard glovebox airlocks, while 30 kg of additional monolithic steel ensures zero frame deflection under full load.
- 7-inch Programmable Touchscreen: Intuitive Aura-Touch™ interface (generic equivalent: intelligent control system) displays real-time temperature-force curves, allowing researchers to create, save, and run complex multi-step heating and pressure profiles with one touch.
- High-Rigidity 130kg Construction: Reinforced all-steel frame prevents micro-deformation during high-pressure cycles, delivering consistent platen parallelism and long-term dimensional stability.
- Dual-Platen Independent Heating: Each 180×180 mm platen is embedded with heaters and controlled independently, enabling up to 300°C with rapid, uniform temperature distribution across the entire surface.
- Built-in Water Cooling Channels: Integrated cooling ports seamlessly connect to an external chiller, accelerating platen cool-down and protecting internal hydraulic seals from thermal stress.
- Flexible Multi-Segment Programming: Easily configure temperature ramps, dwells, and pressure hold stages directly on the touchscreen, ensuring precise reproduction of curing or sintering cycles for demanding research applications.
- CE Certified Safety: Comprehensive CE compliance guarantees electrical, mechanical, and thermal safety, meeting rigorous international laboratory standards.
