Heated Platen Press for Bonded Specimen Preparation

Laboratory hydraulic press with heated platens for curing adhesive joints under controlled pressure and temperature. Used by adhesive labs to prepare lap shear, peel and laminate test specimens.

Specification

Specimens are stacked between platens and cured at set temperature, pressure and time, reproducing factory bonding conditions. The press has accurate temperature control to avoid variation between samples. Cooling plates allow rapid cycle times for thermoplastic and hot melt adhesives.
