Mounting press Citopress 10 (CITOPRESS)
Guarantor:
Jiří Holas
Instrument status:
Operational, 29.7.2025 14:30
Electro-hydraulic programmable machine for hot mounting (pressing). Citopress 10 contains a database of preloaded methods which provides mounting information. Programmable temperature is in the range of 80 – 180°C. The machine features an LCD display, which graphically shows parameter settings and mounting progress. Changing parameters is provided by using the turn/push button.
