The Maassen Die Set Series XRF is simplifying your sample preparation! With the spring-suspended base, combined with different adapters for different analysing instruments, you are able to press samples in a very short time. 

The adapters enable to use steel rings or alu-cups in different sizes. You fill in your sample, put the lid on the sample and move it a bit to get a consistent surface and then press it with up to 40 tons. 

They are available in four different versions: 

Model XRF-BR51 

This Die Set is made for steel rings with 8 - 9 mm height, an outer diameter of 51 mm and inner diameter of 35 mm. It is made of the base unit XRF-B combined with the adapter XRF-51.

The tool itself consists in total of 5 elements plus an extraction ring (not shown). The three-part base (3) is already pre-assembled and spring-mounted. Depending on the type of pressing tool at hand, as mentioned, a slightly different cylinder is used in order to be able to press into different rings or aluminum cups. The top part always consists of two elements: a ring (2) and a cover (1). Both have a red marking that points towards each other when assembled correctly. The models BR51, BR4035 and BR4032 also include two spacers (4) and an Allen key.
