This machine prioritizes user-friendliness and rapid cycle time to keep your process moving. Additionally, the Duplex spacer allows users to produce two mounts in a single cycle. Complement your machine with Buehler's compression mounting media for unmatched results. #### SimpliMet 4000 Key Benefits Rapid Cycle and High Throughput - SmartCool feature actively monitors for safe handling temperature, reducing cooling time to a minimum - Mold design with high efficiency heating and cooling elements reduces cycle time - Duplex spacer enables the machine to create 2 fully cured mounts in one cycle without increasing time User-Friendly and Versatile - Intuitive control panel for easy learning and operation - Simple, low effort top cap closure - Status bar gives real-time feedback on cycle progress - Single-button operation for curing transparent mounting media and other thermoplastics - PreLoad option protects delicate samples Compact footprint - 12.25in \[311mm\] width saves benchtop space - Multiple machines can be conveniently lined up side by side in higher volume environments, optimizing space usage Ordering | SimpliMet 4000 | | | | --- | --- | --- | |
